Museums: Star Wars Exhibits

From the moment it premiered in 1977, Star Wars became a world-wide sensation. With its classic myth narrative, memorable characters, and depictions of a time long ago and far, far away, generations of fans have been entertained through films, books, and television shows. Museums have capitalized on that attraction to educate as well, using Star Wars to explore issues of identity, science, and the power of myths. The Star Wars Universe may be fictional, but it is also vast enough to be enlightening.
