Star Wars Helmets

36. Did You Know: Darth Vader and company marched into a stunning Smithsonian exhibit at the Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C. in 1997? Memorabilia on hand included Vader’s outfit and helmet, Han Solo frozen in carbonite and C3PO. There were more than 200 props, models and costumes from the trilogy. However, not everyone was happy with the final exhibit. Some museum workers complained that the museum “dumbed down” the exhibit because it decided not to show comparisons such as Luke to a samurai warrior. Despite this apparent “dumbing down,” the exhibit was a hit.

61. Fast Fact: Luke’s Uncle Owen didn’t want Luke to know what his father really did or who his father really was. His only goal was to keep Luke as far away as possible from the Rebellion and the Force. When Luke asked what his father did, his uncle Owen always told him Anakin had been a navigator of a spice freighter.
