About the Exhibit

Getting Around

Examine Luke Skywalker's original landspeeder from Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope on public display for the first time, alongside scale models of X- and Y-wing starfighters. Then, find out how things move without touching the ground in the real world, from models of flying cars to commercial space planes.

Robots and People

Visitors meet C-3PO and R2-D2 and explore how people relate to the Droids in Star Wars. The exhibition also features real-world robots that navigate and sense the world around them while communicating in increasingly sophisticated ways. These robots include the dinosaur-like Troody and a floor-vacuuming Roomba.

Millennium Falcon Experience

In a full-size replica of the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, visitors experience a virtual jump to lightspeed. Narrated by Anthony Daniels (C-3PO), this multimedia presentation explores what we know about our own galaxy in a breathtaking journey to the edge of the universe.
