Ok, for those of you who feel like they haven’t thrown enough money Lucas’ way, there is another chance. You can head over to the Museum of Science for the world premiere of the Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination exhibit which happens on October 27th.
Spend freely, I hear George needs a new [...]
