It opens today at the Museum of Science and Industry.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Rodley was charged with creating an exhibit that would focus on technological literacy, and he drew inspiration from his own childhood.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIt goes beyond just being a fan of the movies,\u201d he explains. \u201cI know two renowned roboticists who pin their interests and involvement in the field on \u2018Star Wars.\u2019 Pop culture is the sea we all swim in, even scientists.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Though the exhibit does contain a few costumes that are sure to please fans (including those for Han Solo and Chewbacca), Rodley says the exhibit is not merely a collection of movie memorabilia.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cNeither the Museum of Science nor Lucasfilm were really interested in creating an exhibit of \u2018Star Wars\u2019 items for \u2018Star Wars\u2019\u2019 sake,\u201d he says. \u201cLucasfilm has done those kinds of exhibits before.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>John Singh, a spokesman for Lucasfilm, agrees.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThis isn\u2019t a movie exhibition, but rather a great combination of pop culture, science and education,\u201d Singh says.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe wanted an exhibit that didn\u2019t just say \u2018Star Wars is cool,\u2019\u201d Rodley adds with a laugh. \u201cWhich it is. I found a few ways to say that a few times throughout the exhibit.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>And Rodley\u2019s proposal came to Lucasfilm at the right time.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe had just started to look at how we work with museums and develop exhibits,\u201d Singh says. \u201cGeorge [Lucas, creator of the series] wanted to stress educational components in any exhibit going forward. It\u2019s something he believes in whole-heartedly.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Geoffrey Curley, manager of temporary exhibits at MSI, says the educational component is the only reason the museum brought the exhibit here.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThere have been exhibits with props from the film that have come here before, and that\u2019s not our mission,\u201d Curley says. \u201cThis exhibit uses the films and artifacts to draw a strong parallel to the technologies we are creating today or already have created.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Rodley decided to focus on two areas: transportation and robotics.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>One example of the way robots appear is the animatronic C-3PO, who takes guests through a re-creation of the Jawas\u2019 sandcrawler and discusses modern robotics. For the more adventurous, you can even try your hand at building a robot.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>For the first time ever, Lucasfilm has allowed Luke Skywalker\u2019s landspeeder to be on display, enabling Rodley to talk about just how we might be getting around in the near future.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIt really wasn\u2019t ever a question of could we get them what they wanted,\u201d Singh says. \u201cThey had delivered an incredible proposal and we knew we had to be involved in this.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Rodley pairs the film prop next to an even cooler device: a working Hovercraft that visitors to the museum can climb on.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cYou just mention the world landspeeder and a large part of the population knows what you are talking about and has a visual reference,\u201d Rodley says. \u201cBut how many of us have ever been on a Hovercraft?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>One of the most anticipated artifacts is a re-creation of the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon, which takes museum guests on a five-minute trip to the edge of the universe. Visitors will have to take a trip to see this, though.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIt\u2019s located in the transportation section of the museum \u2014 across from the exhibit,\u201d Curley says with a laugh. \u201cIt seemed fitting to put it there among our collection of planes and trains.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>There will be a separate line for the Falcon trip, which is open to anyone who has purchased a general-admission ticket.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe really wanted to make that experience available to all guests of the museum,\u201d Curley says. \u201cIt\u2019s a great promotion for the rest of the exhibit.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Even though some of the technology seen onscreen is already viable, Rodley says the future will be even brighter.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe real future will be stranger and more interesting than anything you\u2019ll see in the movies.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Sounds as though it is not the typical original prop exhibit, but something a little different.  Per the official website, there are still 80 original props, models, and costumes.<\/p>\n<p>Jason De Bord<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a new Star Wars-themed exhibit
