This one's for the cousins

Megan, Ian, Erin, Dallin, I'm talking to you. A long time ago, in this very galaxy, I took my kids to see a traveling Star Wars exhibit. They are not nearly as versed in Star Wars mythology as you are. Come to think of it, neither am I. But I had them stand next to things so I could take pictures. Hope you enjoy! And I hope you don't get mad when I don't know the names of things!

The sign outdoors!

Scott got to drive a hovercraft lightspeeder thing. It was on a very small driving area and I think he had less than a minute, so don't be jealous.

Here's Han Solo's ship the Peregrine Falcon.

And this is an Imperial NeckTIE Fighter!

I think this guy might have wanted to eat Scott for lunch, if he didn't have a tasty meat stick nearby.

If you lived on Hoth, you would dress like this.

Those aren't binoculars, they're macrobinoculars! And look at the itty bitty Luke Skywalker riding a ... thing that I can't spell!

A closer look.

Look who joined us! It's Dean!

And that guy! Vader? Vadar? Radar?

I think Dean is taller than Yoda.

Say that thing about "When old as I am you are, look as good as me you will not."

Luke's prosthetic hand.

Anakin's prosthetic hand. Quite an impressive technological leap, right?

Here's a handsome uniform! And a wookiee!

Now this was cool: build your own Jawa camp! You placed those black and white cards on the turntable, and the camera/computer would convert them into different buildings and resources. Perhaps someone with a longer attention span could build an awesome Jawa camp.

Not bad, I think those are water pumps.

Battle wookiees!

Now here are some trivia cards.

Next are some weapons.

Scott likes weapons.

Scott dancing in front of a battle droid.

Finally, some very nice robots. I mean droids.

Sorry, but we cannot refrain from being jealous. Why don't cool exhibits like this come to Yuma? All we get here are Lettuce Days in February.

At least we can find a little solace in living within driving distance of the dunes where they filmed Tatooine...
