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.
76. Did You Know: The Star Wars trilogy will come full circle with the release of Episode III: The Revenge of the Sith. That fact does not go unnoticed, considering Ewan McGregor’s Obi Wan will use the same lightsaber Alec Guinness’ Obi Wan used in the original Star Wars, released 28 years ago.
