Love Yoda!

The Anchorage museum downtown had a Star Wars exhibit! I politely informed Aaron (while still in Afghanistan) he would have to take me when he got home. And let me tell you I couldn't wait to go!
The two coolest; R2D2 & C3PO.

The man inside R2D2.

The exhibit was filled with lots of fun facts! (click all images to enlarge)

Models they used to shoot scenes for the movie.


Pure evil!

Me laying the smackdown on a Stormtrooper.

Aaron was not pleased about this picture. But I needed him for scale! :)

My favorite! I love Yoda!

There were also a lot of models in the exhibit. It is amazing to me that they can make something this small look huge with a camera.

This guy rocked! Check out the half eaten meat on the left. Yuck!

At the end there was a virtual ride on the Millennium Falcon. Beyond cool! I really felt like I was at warp speed!
