I'll definatley check this one out on Thursday or Friday.

I assume everything is in glass cases preventing my pictures from developing, due to over exposure from the flash rebound? :(

Yeah most likely it will be, but they should also have very good lighting for these things, so you may not need the flash.

This is definitely one of those exhibits I want to see, as something similar was at the Museum of Science & Industry here in Chicago and I never got the chance to see it :( To see all the props used in the OT will be downright awesome I think.

JoshEEE:
It was truly amazing seeing this at C2.  They had a full sized Swoop bike, an AT AT model, pieces of the Death Star Trench, etc, etc.  It was really amazing.

I was in there staring for at least 10 or 15 minutes.

JediMAC:
I never really bothered to reply to this after C3, but I've gotta say their "Archive" there was pretty disappointing.  Considering some of the Lucasfilm Archive exhibits I've seen over the years containing TONS of stuff, this one was practically a total waste.  There were really only about 12 different (small) displays in the room, which is vastly less than there should be considering the event, the fans in attendance, and all the potential props and costumes to choose from.  I'm just thankful that I zipped in there on Thursday real quick when there was less than a 10 minute line.  With the lack of a wait, I don't feel like perusing the archive was really a waste of time, since the few things they had in there were pretty cool.  But come Friday - Sunday, the line was probably an hour or two long, which I definitely don't think was worth it...

The best I can recollect, they had:
Large (4') Millenium Falcon model (very cool)
Star Destroyer model (cool)
Sandcrawler model (cool)
Landspeeder model, with silly 12" dolls in it (including Bionic Man, I think)
AT-TE model
Small diorama of Mustafar (lame)
Display of about 10 different lightsaber hilts (cool)
Display of various Wookiee weapons (kinda dumb)
Display of about 10 different weapons/accessories from the whole Saga (decent)
Darth Vader costume (can see this at most FAO Schwarz toy stores)
3 Wookiee costumes (eh.)
Hoth Leia/Bespin Han/Wampa costumes (ok)
Obi-Wan/Padme/Anakin ROTS costumes (ok)

Pretty sure that was it.  Cool stuff, sure, but they should've had at least twice as much stuff in there to really make it worthwhile and impressive.  So what'd everyone else think of the Archives there?
