Jeez, Joey must be working crazy hard to get these well-edited, long videos up in such a timely fashion. Props!
So. Much. Awesome. Content. Guys.
I like that the collection has just about everything, including fan-made pieces. Really covers the gamut in terms of the fandom. And it isn’t too far, might have to visit this place. 🙂
PS. Where is the link to their website, Joey? 🙂
http://www.ranchoobiwan.org
That Yoda. THAT Yoda.
It must be 3D scanned! (but I doubt the guy would allow it.)
Holy crap…
Thanks, but I’ve a LOT of help from (Sam Ballard)– production guy helping us out with shooting and editing. It’s been allowing us to get a higher volume out.
I like the original concept on that banner better than the look used in the actual movies. 🙂
I have been lucky enough to have been on the real Tantive IV, after they rebuilt the set for Revenge of the Sith. It was the Star Wars-related highlight of a lifetime!
This is very cool. I love these features, you guys are so professional nowadays!
How on earth does Steve fund such a collection? He even mentioned that the museum was not-for-profit didn’t he?
Someone commented on another of these features that Steve used to be Director of Content Management and head of Fan Relations at Lucasfilm. That would likely explain part of the budget and a lot of the access.

Cheers, still, that’s one hell of a love, it probably just makes it easy to sink the money into it. He certainly is a “high functioning hoarder”, seems like a really nice guy.
Oh man this is awesome
Awesome video, Steve seems like a really cool guy and he has an amazing collection.
