This is running ant the Indiana State Museum this summer, and I had to go. This was a really cool exhibit. Seeing all the costumes and props was fun. The best stuff was the models. A a guy who likes to build and paint "toys" they were amazing to see up close.
My ideal weapons locker!
(Well lose the Naboo blaster)
A selection of Hoth based costumes and props.
Luke's robotic hand prop looks terrible off screen. Plus! Lobots head gear! YEAH! LOBOT'S HEAD GEAR!! Wait...who really cares about that? |
"Get him Mr. Smothers!" Thank you Lew for that story and phrase |
Wookiee feet! |
Joe? Is that you? |
The actual landspeeder |
The model used and the $6 Million Man is riding shotgun. Guess they couldn't find an Obi-wan doll. |
A series of vehicle models.
The Phantom Menace droid tank was surprisingly large. Even from a lame movie, it is a cool vehicle. |
The Vader Helmet display was really cool and would look great in my living room! |
What I thought the Falcon model would look like. This is the little model. |
The actual model is frakin' huge and awesome!
Finally the original Yoda. Holy crap it looked great. I was amazed of the shape of this guy.Figured he would have fallen apart like Jabba did.
There was more costume stuff and some actual learning/science stuff, but that is for sucks! I wants to see me some Star Wars stuff, not learn. Education isn't fun, it is a necessary thing. but don't try to fun it up for the kids. I know they have to, or this would just be a Planet Hollywood type exhibit.
For the normies, cynics or casual fans of the Star Wars universe I wouldn't say this is a must. For the die hard fans, modelers and gamers check this out, if you are in the Indianapolis region.
Awesome! I was in nerd heaven years ago when I saw a tiny fraction of this stuff at the Seattle Sci-Fi museum - this is... Whoa... Thanks for sharing!
