Star Wars Exhibit: Where Science Meets Imagination
« on: October 14, 2012, 08:21:20 PM »
Developed by the Museum of Science, Boston in collaboration with Lucasfilm Ltd., Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination is a 10,000 square-foot exhibit that explores the fantasy technologies depicted in the Star Wars films, the real science behind them, and the current research that may someday lead to remarkable real-life versions of the technologies seen in the film series.

With support from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and presented by Bose Corporation, Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination is the first exhibition to display costumes and props from all six Star Wars films with real-world technologies. The exhibit includes extensive video interviews with filmmakers, scientists and engineers; and hands-on components, including two large Engineering Design Labs, where visitors can build and test their own speeders and robots.

This event will be held at the Orlando Science Center from October 13 2012 to April 7,2013. The first celebrity appearance was on opening weekend from Daniel Logan (Boba Fett) in Ep II Attack of the Clones. He signed autographs,took pictures with fans and had a Q & A panel. Stay tuned for more info.

I saw this exhibit in LA a few years ago (or at least one that was very similar to it) and it was really neat. I would definitely recommend it to anyone in the area.

There will come a time when your training ends. There will come a day when you have learned all the lessons, when all my knowledge of the dark side will be yours. On that day you will challenge me for the title of Master, and only one of us will survive the encounter.

That's great Jim I hope you do get to check it out cause you'll feel right at home,you'll enjoy it even more if there's a celebrity (at least that's how I feel :p) but its a experience not to be missed if given the chance.
