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.

The two would go on to train Luke Skywalker, who despite being past the age limit, was accepted because the Jedi were desperately needed in this new universe.
