The Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago had a traveling, limited time only exhibit called Star Wars: Where science meets imagination. Bill and I decided this was a must field trip so we left late on a Wed night, stayed over in Chicago and got to the museum right as it opened. We had a fabulous time. This was the largest collection of real props we will ever be able to see and we took like 100 pictures being the geeks we are. Here are just a few.
This is the original model of Luke's x wing. The original three movies were shot with a bunch of models before all the computer generated imagery was invented.
I knew Bill is not that tall but next to the original Chewbacca outfit, he's a midget!
Here was our favorite model. Luke on a tauntan which was used when the rebels were based in Hoth right before Luke got mauled by the Wampa.
I love this shot and Bill thinks I'm a dork. No more dorky than spending a day in a Star Wars exhibit, I told him. Gosh it was great.

So very proud of your museum visit. Good to know crazy people will drive to far away cities just to see an exhibit. That's good job security for me. We open BodyWorlds in Baltimore next week, come on you know you want to check out some plastinated bodies and Baltimore is just a little further than Chicago...
