Lucas Archives

A nice highlight of each of the Celebrations has been the Lucas Archives.  There is always a nice selection of screen used props, costumes and pre-production art.

At Celebration IV we also had some nice gowns from the Prequel Trilogy, some early concept models and, finally, and answer to the color of Han Solo's coat he wore on Hoth.

There were several versions of Darth Vader's belt and chest panel, Luke Skywalkers robotic hand and early concepts for the Millennium Falcon and the Death Star.

Although there was not a huge display, the items shown were really incredible.  I think there might have been more on display if the Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination traveling exhibit was not in full swing.  Unfortunately the exhibit wasn't held over for Celebration IV.  It was in Los Angeles but left about a month before CIV started.

Still, it's always fun to see items that were used on camera in our favorite films.
