I attended this convention because I had heard about it the previous year and was intrigued by its emphasis of reaching people who were into spirituality.

Cosplaying as Obi-Wan Kenobi, I shared the Star Map and invitation to follow the way of Master Jesus to a life of peace and bring balance to our own galaxy.

Along the way I met some really kind and passionate people of faith, including a Star Wars Author and a group of Christian Cosplayers who are also Star Wars fans.

Occasionally there are Exhibitions about a franchise or a particular genre either at an established institution like a museum or set up special for the event. A subset are special Concerts, some of which include screenings.

★ Fan Data: Examples include my visit at the Star Wars Identities exhibit, and a few movie screenings with live score played by the St. Louis Symphony, like attending The Force Awakens as Obi-Wan.

★ News Rave: The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art is possibly going to have a collection or section dedicated to Star Wars but little is known.

ILM in San Francisco CA

I've been to SF and went through Presidion on a tourbus ride without knowing I was so close to Star Wars history and production! Another reason why I left my heart. And return I must.

The Yoda Fountain at Lucasfilm and Industrial Light & Magic features a bronze statue of the Jedi Master atop a water basin. It makes a great photo background.

The working studio and office interior are off limits to the public, and sadly the lobby with Star Wars memorabilia, props, and statues has supposedly been closed too.

This may be the Museum you were not looking for...

The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art opened in 2026 and is more than Star Wars, but you can get a first hand look at items from its Lucasfilm's archives in Los Angeles.

Reviews are mixed. But there appear to be some neat collectibles from the creator's own collection. And from what I've seen, the original artwork and props of my favorite franchise are pretty cool. It's all housed in a spaceship looking hangar set in a beautiful park environment.

Besides, it's in the neighborhood of Disneyland. So why not drop by on the way to Batuu?

Make travel plans now for a 50th anniversary trip to the Galaxy far far away in 2027:

Star Wars: The Experience – A Journey Through the Galaxy

Journey through the galaxy and celebrate the 50th anniversary of the film that launched the Skywalker Saga with the world premiere of an official exhibition at The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia in 2027!

Told through an extraordinary collection of more than 70 artifacts — many of them on view for the first time from Lucasfilm — the exhibit invites you to take a closer look at legendary screen-used pieces.

Using the latest RFID technology, your journey becomes uniquely personal, shaped by your choices and driven by your Force allegiance. Move throughout the exhibition, experience hidden moments, evolving interactions, and story elements that unfold all around you, culminating in one memorable finale.

The exhibition also includes an unprecedented look at 50 years of Star Wars action figure history and creation, featuring more than 100 iconic Star Wars toys, including over 30 rare prototypes, development models, tooling samples, and original design materials, some of which have never been displayed publicly before.

Detroitooine in Detroit, MI

Founded in Detroit in 2015, Space Dive is a Star Wars environment created by a collective of artists dedicated to building large-scale escapist experiences through practical sets, live performance, and collaborative world-building.

This fan event usually takes place around May the Fourth and is an immersive experience of fans for fans who want to be transported to the Galaxy we all love.

Halcy-Con 3 in Orlando, FL

This journey aboard the "Aurora" Starcruiser features experiences for hundreds of passengers, a thousand-year mystery, seven interactive factions, a main finale, and a celebration.

Fans continue to organize this convention like gathering to recreate the immersive roleplay, costume culture, and storytelling of the Halcyon Disney hotel which sadly closed in 2023.
