that was in chicago for the past few months. I went the first week. The props are really cool to see. However, all the robot stuff and interactive exhibits were more for little kids. Props are worth it though!

I tried to go while in Chigy-G but couldn't. I guess it "sells out"?!?! I thought that was lame, only X amount of tickets sold a day, sucked. I got there all nerding out and was denied. But from the sounds of it didn't seem worth the cash.

I like how they stress props, and costumes are now allowed into the exhibit. You know tons of stormtroopers and fans would go just to take pictures with their costumes on.

I guess I don't have one.

I never could get into Star Wars. It was cool, but I was never "into it". Even so, it still left an impression and I liked it better than Star Trek.

I would have been there as Boba Fett, but unless you are part of the 501st its a no-go.

One day I just want to go into town as Boba Fett and just hang out. See what the reaction would be.
