Star Wars in Chicago!

MSI Chicago - Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination | Exhibit Overview

And not the missile defense system either.

This is one of the many reasons why I was so excited to move to a big city like Chicago from Cary, NC. Raleigh has some nice museums, but nothing like what the Field and Museum of Science and Industry (MSI) can attract, much less the high quality art and history museums Chicago can boast of.

As a lifelong fan of Star Wars (my sibs and I practically grew up on the original trilogy) I can't wait to see the science of this fabulous science fiction.

Also, would anyone mind lending me about $4,000 for the X-wing fighter replica signed by George Lucas? Or I would just love it as a birthday present...good for life :).

Wow, How lucky!! I am sure R2D2 and C3Po would be there too. Please hug R2D2 on my behalf.
Hmmmm.. $ 4000 for X wing fighter for a birthday gift? How about I buy it now and give you later as a Wedding gift.
