A Chance to C-3PO Up Close.
The myth-making continues as the Smithsonian's "Star Wars" exhibition blasts into San Diego.
If you're intrigued to eyeball the original Chewbacca costume, an 11-foot model of the Imperial Star Destroyer, the dress worn by Princess Leia, or the darkness himself, Darth Vader.
To celebrate the artistry that has gone into that quest, the exhibition assembles some 250 props, models, costumes and characters--backed by an audio tour narrated by James Earl Jones and featuring the vaulting sounds of John Williams' wonderfully bombastic "Star Wars" anthem.
This is the show that attracted a record 1 million visitors during its run at the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C., from October 1997 to January 1999.
The Smithsonian's traveling service decided that the story and artifacts of C-3PO, R2-D2, Obi-Wan Kenobi, the snarly Wampa Ice Creature and the rest were too good not to share with the rest of America.
