I wanted to see it when it was in Fort Worth, but I completely forgot about it.

Is this Magic of Myth?

No. That was the Smithsonian exhibit.

This is "Where Science Meets Imagination"

I know Magic of Myth did travel, though. It was in San Diego about 10 years ago.

I gotta say my fave part of it all was the droids.(which surprised me) And vader's ANH costume. (damn is that thing beat up)

How did I miss the Walkers and the Probe Droid. SO COOL!!!!!

Yeah, they both traveled. What I meant was Magic of Myth's "home" museum was the Smithsonian just as Where Science Meets Imagination's "home" is the Boston Museum of Science.

This came to my town so i took the family very cool!!!

I, too, went to the ol' Science Museum of Minnesota to check this out!

Great stuff but I have to admit, I was a little disappointed. Just a little. There's an undeniable thrill in seeing such iconic objects, but...

Is this Magic of Myth?

...it's just not the Magic of Myth, which I was also lucky enough to attend 7 or so years ago.

Lobot's headgear, while oddly awesome, just isn't as cool as a full-on Boba Fett costume.

If you can't get to Magic, definitely see Where Science Meets..., but if you have a choice? I think Magic is the better show. More stuff.

My pics when this came to the twin cities this summer.

Do any of these exhibits ever come to Canada specifically Toronto ?? I would love to see these awesome displays in person if given the chance, we have a lot of facilities here that would be perfect for something like this the Science Centre which had waxed corpses and cadavers (SP??) aswell as artifacts from the Titanic and other exhibits this would fit in well.
