5. George Lucas - The Creator
George Lucas is one of the most influential figures in modern film history, having set new standards not only as a director but also as a visionary, entrepreneur, and technological innovator. He exerted his greatest influence through the Star Wars saga, the first film of which was released in 1977 and permanently transformed cinema. Lucas thereby established the concept of the modern blockbuster and combined classic mythological narrative structures—inspired by mythologist Joseph Campbell—with groundbreaking visual effects. Characters like Darth Vader became global symbols of pop culture.
In addition to his work as a storyteller, Lucas was also a key driver of technological innovation in the film industry. By founding Industrial Light & Magic, he revolutionized special effects, while his company, Lucasfilm, made significant contributions to the development of modern sound and digital technologies. Pixar also emerged from his circle, a company that would later fundamentally transform the animation industry. Furthermore, Lucas shaped the nature of storytelling in cinema by demonstrating that films can create expansive universes and be continued over many years—a principle that today forms the foundation of many major film franchises. He also redefined the significance of merchandising and fan culture. His influence extends far beyond his own works and has inspired numerous renowned directors such as Steven Spielberg and Christopher Nolan.
Finally, Lucas also underscored the economic significance of creative content when he sold Lucasfilm to The Walt Disney Company for several billion dollars in 2012. Overall, it can be said that George Lucas did not merely create individual films, but fundamentally shaped the film industry in terms of its structure, technology, and cultural impact.
6. Evolution of the Trooper helmets
The evolution of helmets from the clone troopers to the stormtroopers in Star Wars reflects both technical and political changes within the universe. It all begins with the Republic’s clone troopers, who appear in Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones and Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. Their helmets are heavily inspired by Mandalorian armor, particularly that of Jango Fett, whose genetic material forms the basis for the clone army. These early helmets (Phase I) have an angular, T-shaped visor structure and appear functional and militarily precise. In the later Phase II, the helmets become more streamlined and begin to resemble the later stormtrooper helmets—with smoother surfaces and a more modern design. With the transition from the Republic to the Empire following Order 66, not only does the army undergo a fundamental change, but so does its equipment. The clone army is gradually replaced by regular recruits, and the armor is standardized. The stormtrooper helmets, as seen starting with Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, are significantly more minimalist and standardized. They feature the characteristic white, smooth surface and a more anonymous, almost faceless shape. This development also has symbolic significance: While the clone helmets still allow for individuality (e.g., through paint and markings), the stormtrooper helmets represent total conformity and anonymity within the Empire. The soldiers lose their identity and become interchangeable tools of the power of Darth Vader and the Empire. In summary, the evolution of the helmets reflects not only a design upgrade but also the transformation from a (seemingly) organized republican army into an oppressive, dehumanized military machine.

8. the first 12 Star Wars figures
In 1977, Star Wars changed the world of action figures. George Lucas held all rights to Star Wars merchandise. The license for Star Wars action figures was granted to the Kenner company. Since the Star Wars universe was so vast, the figures inevitably had to be made smaller in order to also sell vehicles and spaceships. According to legend, a Kenner employee is said to have remarked during a meeting, “What about making them only this big?” while holding his thumb and index finger together to indicate a size of just under 10 cm. This gave rise to a new standard: the famous 3 3/4-inch format. Star Wars hit theaters in May 1977, and its success was overwhelming. Kenner was completely unprepared for the unprecedented response to the film and the resulting high demand for toys. Demand simply could not be met by the 1977 holiday season; instead, Kenner sold an “Early Bird Certificate Package,” which included a certificate that could be mailed to Kenner to be redeemed for four Star Wars action figures. Although the Star Wars figures were originally made as toys for kids, Star Wars quickly became a pop culture phenomenon, leading to a large number of adult fans of the film buying the figures as well. The Kenner series was produced from 1978 to 1985. Our 12 vintage figures come on so-called Custom Cards—reproductions modeled after the original 1977 figures on cards!
9. Collection PREMIUM FORMAT FIGURES
Sideshow produces Star Wars statues in 1/4 scale. Sideshow uses a variety of materials for the statues and combines them. Typically, a statue is made of polystone and features a fabric robe; this combination of materials is known as mixed media. The base and the statue are not connected; there are small metal pins in the statue’s feet that allow it to stand securely on the included base. The Jedi and Sith statues feature a lightsaber illumination function. The statue is powered either by an included power adapter or by batteries in the base. The light-up function is also turned on and off via the base. Unless it is an exclusive variant of a statue, it is usually cast as a single piece, meaning only the statue and base need to be connected. Exclusive statues feature a wide variety of elements, such as interchangeable heads, arms, or weapons, as well as accessories like a mouse droid or Jedi Training Remote, and so on. The statues are highly detailed and beautifully crafted. Sideshow has really excelled here with incredible attention to detail, particularly when it comes to the facial sculpting; many of the statues look just like the actors themselves.

10. Original setpieces of TATOOINE
The name “Tatooine” was inspired by the town of “Tataouine” in Tunisia. George Lucas filmed several Tatooine scenes in various locations across Tunisia, which is why these places remain very popular with tourists to this day. In some cases, you can still visit the buildings featured in the movies. Rumor has it that the entrance door to the Cantina still exists, though it’s now at the entrance to a chicken coop.
A diorama is a display case or constructed landscape in which scenes featuring miniature figures and landscapes are often depicted against a painted backdrop. Historically, they evolved from Christmas nativity scenes.
11. Diorama MOS EISLEY SPACEPORT ON TATOOINE
powered by
Tatooine is a desert planet in the Outer Rim that orbits the twin suns Tatoo I and Tatoo II. Since the influence of the ruling galactic powers is minimal in this region of the galaxy and the planet is under Hutt control, it attracts many smugglers, bounty hunters, and others with “special” business interests.
Settlers who want to earn a living legally usually try their hand at wet farming, with their farms typically located not far from major trading cities like Mos Espa or Mos Eisley.
12. Model SANDCRAWLER
The Sandcrawler, also known as sand caterpillar, is a tracked vehicle used by the Jawas as a dwelling and a transport for droids. The two droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, were held captive in such a vehicle in Episode IV and subsequently sold to the moisture farmer Owen Lars. The vehicle is 20 meters tall and travels at a maximum speed of 30 km/h through the sandy desert of Tatooine. There are 50 Jawas on board, who can transport up to 1,500 droids.

14 Display Case: Prototypes by Hasbro
Hasbro was founded in the United States in 1923 and began marketing toys in 1943. Hasbro has been producing the newer Star Wars figures since 1995. The very first Star Wars action figures were released between 1977 and 1985, manufactured by Kenner. In 1991, Kenner was acquired by Hasbro, which continued to sell Star Wars figures under the Kenner name until the year 2000. Since then, the action figures have been sold exclusively under the Hasbro name. Many different collections have been released since then, and among them are increasingly rare figures whose value may rise. The figures also come in various sizes; the most well-known are certainly the 3¾-inch figures (approx. 10 cm tall), a size that was also previously produced by Kenner. In addition, there are 6-inch figures (approx. 15 cm tall) and 12-inch figures (approx. 30 cm tall).
The rotating display case features what are known as hand samples, also called prototypes. These were donated to our exhibition by Hasbro. Before figures are mass-produced by machine, prototypes are crafted and painted by hand. Only after a hand sample passes all tests is the figure produced in large quantities by machine.
15. Boba Fett Rocket Firing „unpainted Prototype“
Originally, Boba Fett was supposed to be released with a detachable rocket on his back. Shortly before shipment, a child in the U.S. lost an eye due to a similar rocket from another toy. The Kenner company subsequently halted production of this “Rocket Firing Boba Fett” and distributed this version of Boba with the rocket permanently attached through a “mail-away” campaign. This situation was explained once again on the enclosed “note.” Contrary to rumors to the contrary, NO “Rocket Firing Boba” ever reached stores. Unfortunately, our figure is just a very good copy! 😊

16. Lifesize Figures Orson Callan Krennic and B2-EMO
Orson Krennic was a high-ranking officer of the Galactic Empire in the Star Wars universe, specifically the Director of Advanced Weapons Research. He is best known for his central role in the film *Rogue One: A Star Wars Story*. Krennic was largely responsible for the development of the Death Star, the Empire’s massive superweapon. He oversaw the project for many years and did everything in his power to drive its completion forward. In doing so, he worked closely—and often conflictually—with the scientist Galen Erso, whom he practically forced to work on the Death Star’s energy core. In terms of character, Krennic is portrayed as ambitious, manipulative, and power-hungry. He sought recognition within the Imperial hierarchy and, above all, wanted to prove himself to more powerful figures such as Darth Vader and Wilhuff Tarkin. He found himself in particular competition with Tarkin, as the latter ultimately took control of the completed Death Star—much to Krennic’s frustration. Krennic meets his end on the planet Scarif when the Rebels steal the Death Star plans. During the attack, he is killed by his own superweapon when a test firing of the Death Star destroys the base where he was located.
17. Starwars Collage
Mo from VOS ART took advantage of a prolonged period of illness to create this collage for our exhibition.
18. Clone Trooper (Sideshow)
The Galactic Republic's clone troopers were created from Jango Fett's genetic material and formed the backbone of the Republic army. Different color markings indicate their affiliation with elite units such as the 501st Legion or the 212th Battalion. Individual customizations of their armor reflect rank, specialization, and personality. As the war progressed, many clones developed identities of their own beyond their original programming. Their legacy remains inextricably linked to the Clone Wars and the rise of the Galactic Empire.
19. Diorama BEHIND THE SENCES MOVIESET Episode IV
built by Maxx Replicas / Scale 1:18
For the development of the Dykstraflex, Dykstra was awarded an Oscar in 1978 in the “Best Visual Effects” category.
John Dykstra originally developed the Dykstraflex system for complex special-effects shots in the film *Star Wars*. It is a fully computer-controlled camera system capable of moving along seven axes. Dykstra controlled the focus and exposure, allowing him to repeat programmed motion sequences as often as he liked for multiple exposures. The Dykstraflex system made it possible to repeat the same camera movements over and over again, allowing multiple elements—such as spaceships or planets—to be filmed from exactly the same position using the same movement. This is what made the dynamic imagery in *Star Wars* possible in the first place.

22. Diorama BATTLE OF GEONOSIS
The Petranaki Arena on the planet Geonosis was the site of public executions and deadly contests featuring wild beasts and gladiators. The arena could accommodate several thousand spectators. Since the structure was located on the planet’s surface, the Geonosians—who otherwise lived underground—were more vulnerable to attack, which they viewed as an added thrill alongside the actual contests. This is also where the execution contest took place to execute Anakin Skywalker, Padmé Amidala, and Obi-Wan Kenobi. However, the execution failed, and the events culminated in the Battle of Geonosis, the prelude to the three-year Clone Wars.
Visit from Anthony Forrest
Anthony Forrest originally played a friend of Luke Skywalker in a scene that was ultimately cut from the final film. While he was still on set in his hotel room, however, he received a call from George Lucas, who urgently needed an extra for another scene. It turned out that he was to play a Stormtrooper who was being influenced by Obi-Wan Kenobi through the Force. We’re talking, of course, about the famous scene: “These aren’t the droids you’re looking for!” To which the Stormtrooper simply replies, “Move on, move on!” even though he initially wanted to inspect Obi-Wan and Luke’s droids. We’ve naturally included this scene in our Tatooine diorama as well.
23. Diorama CANTINA ENTRANCE AND BARCOUNTER
The scene shown is the famous one from Episode IV: A New Hope, in which Obi-Wan Kenobi uses his lightsaber to protect Luke Skywalker in the Mos Eisley Cantina on Tatooine and cuts off Pondo Baba's arm.
24. Movie Prop PONDA BABAS HAND
Ponda Baba is an Aqualish and Dr. Evazan’s business partner. Both also appear in the spin-off *Rogue One*. He is the first character in Episode IV to lose a limb. The severed hand has claws, while the other is, oddly enough, fin-like. The fake blood in the film was made from raspberry yogurt and red tempera paint. Technically, there shouldn’t be any blood in the scene at all, since lightsabers cauterize the wounds they cause. But perhaps the blood of the Aqualish differs from that of other humanoids in this respect.
25. Diorama BRIEFING ROOM
Whether some of the footage from the trailers for *Rogue One: A Star Wars Story* was merely promotional material or was cut during the much-discussed post-production of the spin-off, we’ll probably never know. One thing is certain: they are missing from the final film. Unfortunately, the scene in which the Stormtroopers patrol Scarif has also been completely omitted. It served as the inspiration for this diorama in the run-up to the release of “Rogue One.”
29. Costume PARKA OF CAPTAIN CASSIAN ANDOR
30. Diorama BATTLE OF JEDHA
The moon of Jedha is a small, remote, frozen desert world that served as a pilgrimage site for those who believed in the Force. The moon’s landscape was largely characterized by deserts, small towns, and spaceports. The world was later taken over by the Galactic Empire, which mined its kyber crystal deposits, thereby stripping it of its resources. This is also where the first field test of the still-unfinished Death Star took place, to test its superlaser on a celestial body for the first time and to destroy the organization of the extremist Saw Gerrera, which had once again caused an incident in Jedha City: members of the group had attacked a heavily guarded Imperial kyber crystal transport.
31. Lifesize figure K-2SO
K-2SO was an Imperial KX security droid who was reprogrammed by Cassian Andor to support the Rebels. Among other things, he helped steal the plans for the first Death Star.
32. Diorama K-2SO
33. Diorama JEDHA-SHOOTOUT
This diorama was built by Max Karsch and Julian Otten during a school internship. As an Easter egg, the two hid their names in Star Wars font on the wall of the house on the right. In the scene depicted from the movie “Rogue One,” Jyn Erso, on the planet Jedha, shoots an Imperial droid that looks exactly like K-2SO in the heat of the moment during a firefight with the Imperials. Only after firing does she realize that it could have been her teammate K-2SO. But just then, he comes around the corner and asks her in surprise, “How did you know that wasn’t me?”
34. Diorama EWOK DORF
“Bright Tree Village” is an Ewok village located on the forest moon of Endor. The village takes its name from the modified Bright Tree at the center of the settlement. It was also home to the Ewoks who helped the Rebel Alliance defeat the Galactic Empire during the Battle of Endor. Approximately 200 Ewoks live in Bright Tree Village. For generations, the population has been governed by a chieftain and a shaman in many Ewok tribes.
35. Diorama THE DEATH STAR BRIDGE
36. Diorama "Sabotage"
The term “matte paintings” comes from English, where ‘matte’ refers to a mask, and “matte paintings” refers to the technique of creating painted backdrops. These are painted sections of film sets that are mounted on canvas or glass. Today, almost all matte paintings are created digitally.

38. Showcase 212 Attack Battalion
The 212th Attack Battalion, led by Commander Cody under the command of Obi-Wan Kenobi, embodies precision, discipline, and unwavering dedication. With their distinctive orange markings, these clone troopers fight on the front lines of the Clone Wars, often where the outcome of a battle is most uncertain. They are specialists in coordinated offensives and urban combat—efficient, calm, and deadly. But behind the flawless formation lies more than just military perfection: it is the spirit of brotherhood that binds the 212th together. Each soldier is part of a greater whole, created for war—and yet with a spark of individuality. Their legacy is that of an elite unit of the Republic whose loyalty was never in question… not even when the Republic they served changed forever.
39. Model MILLENNIUM FALCON IN CROSS-SECTION
This model is made entirely of metal and weighs over 150 kg. The cross-section offers an impressive view of many details of the Millennium Falcon. Among other things, this is the first time we get to see the smuggling compartments where Han Solo and his friends were able to hide from the Stormtroopers inside the Death Star.

40. Diorama ORDER 66 ON FELUCIA
“Order 66” refers to a conspiracy long planned by Chancellor Palpatine to destroy the Jedi. During the development of the clone troopers, “Clone Protocol 66” was secretly implanted in their heads in the form of a chip. When Palpatine, alias Darth Sidious, activated this protocol via voice command, all the clones suddenly turned against the Jedi and killed them. Only a very, very few Jedi were able to escape and survive. The clones had no chance to resist this type of command, even though they had previously maintained friendly relations with the Jedi.
PLEASE RETURN TO THE HALLWAY
41. Model X-WING CAPTAIN CARDBOARD
The X-wing model was built to studio scale, meaning it is the same size as the models used during filming. There is a special story behind this model: During the filming of *Star Wars*, X-wing models were constructed and blown up for certain scenes. The individual parts ended up in a box, which was then put away. Years later, the special effects company ILM moved offices and left these boxes behind, among other items. While cleaning out the rooms, the boxes resurfaced; the parts were cleaned and assembled, and missing parts were replaced. The model was taken to the company ICONS, which finished it and made casts of the parts. One of the finished models was given to George Lucas, who displayed it in his office.
One potential problem with these models is that the wings droop downward. This is exactly what happened to Lucas’s model, and he brought up the issue when a colleague came to visit. The colleague took the model home to repair it, but nothing happened for years. One day, however, the colleague received a visit from Scott Alexander (Captain Cardboard), who agreed to take care of the problem. He not only repaired the X-Wing but also took measurements of all the individual parts. This gave him the dimensions needed to sell his own model kit, the so-called “Captain Cardboard Kit.”

43. Commander Rex on AT-RT by Hot Toys
Captain Rex, officially CT-7567, is one of the most famous and beloved clone troopers of the Galactic Republic. As captain of the 501st Legion, he serves under Anakin Skywalker and works closely with Ahsoka Tano. His character is portrayed in great detail, particularly in *Star Wars: The Clone Wars*. Rex stands out clearly from many other clones. Although he is genetically identical, he displays a strong personality, independent judgment, and a keen moral compass. He is an outstanding tactician and soldier, but at the same time, he is someone who takes responsibility for his men and respects their individuality. His armor bears the distinctive blue markings of the 501st Legion, and over time he continually customizes his gear—a sign that he is more than just a standardized soldier. Rex often finds himself caught between orders and his conscience: he believes in the Republic, but increasingly begins to question decisions, especially as the war drags on. He plays one of his most important and emotional roles during Order 66. Unlike many other clones, Rex—with Ahsoka’s help—is able to overcome or remove the control chip and defy the order. This makes him one of the few clones to regain his freedom. Later, Rex reappears in Star Wars Rebels, where he lives as an aging veteran and eventually fights against the Empire once again. His journey shows that clones were not merely tools, but independent individuals with loyalty, doubts, and the ability to choose their own path.
44. Bantha and Boba Fett
The Bantha and Boba Fett are both closely tied to the harsh world of Tatooine and, in their own ways, embody life in the galaxy’s inhospitable deserts. Banthas are large, shaggy pack animals primarily used by the Tusken Raiders. Despite their massive appearance, they are calm, resilient creatures perfectly adapted to life in the desert. They serve as means of transportation, companions, and often as part of Tusken culture—there is a deep bond between them and their riders. Boba Fett, on the other hand, is one of the most feared bounty hunters in the galaxy. As a genetic clone of Jango Fett, he was not altered like the clone army but grew up as an independent individual. Known for his Mandalorian armor and his cool, calculating demeanor, he worked for the Empire and later on his own account. A particularly interesting connection between the two is evident in *The Book of Boba Fett*: After escaping the Sarlacc, Boba lives with the Tusken Raiders for a time and develops a close bond with a Bantha. This bond reveals a new, gentler side of him—a far cry from the cold-blooded bounty hunter. The Bantha becomes a symbol of his transformation and his integration into a foreign culture.
45. Model LUKE`S LANDSPEEDER
We also have a life-size Landspeeder for events and conventions. Unfortunately, it doesn’t fit in our showrooms. In the summer, there will certainly be a few opportunities where you can come and admire this gem.
46. Lifesize Figure SALACIOUS CRUMP with C-3PO-Head
Salacious Crump was a male Kowakian lizard-monkey who lived in Jabba’s palace on Tatooine. He stood about 70 cm tall and was also known as Jabba’s pet or court jester. According to polls, he had the nastiest laugh in the history of the universe. According to legend, Jabba had spared his life on the condition that the lizard-monkey make him laugh once a day. Since he possessed a sense of humor as dark as his owner’s, this was certainly no difficult task for him. Salacious subsisted on food scraps and was known for his excellent climbing skills and quick reflexes.

51. Lifesize Legacy Figures
The original Star Wars trilogy—*Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope*, *Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back*, and *Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi*—centers on a cast of iconic main characters whose development plays a pivotal role in shaping the plot. Han Solo brings a different dynamic to the story: as a smuggler and daredevil, he is initially selfish and out for his own gain. But through his friendships, he evolves into a loyal ally of the Rebels. At his side is always Chewbacca, his faithful co-pilot, who embodies strength and loyalty. Leia Organa is also a key figure. As a princess and leader of the Rebel Alliance, she embodies courage, intelligence, and determination. She is not only politically influential but also actively involved in the fight against the Empire and plays an important role within the group. The ensemble is rounded out by the droids C-3PO and R2-D2, who often provide humorous moments while also playing a crucial role in the plot. R2-D2, in particular, is the key to the Rebels’ success on multiple occasions. Finally, Obi-Wan Kenobi is also of great importance. As a wise Jedi Master, he serves as a mentor to Luke and introduces him to the ways of the Force. Even after his death, he remains present as a spiritual guide.

This figure is a limited special edition from 2012, autographed by director George Lucas. It was commissioned by Hasbro Inc. and Lucasfilm Entertainment Company Ltd. This figure was created for a promotional event by Hasbro and Lucasfilm and is limited to 13 pieces worldwide.
The fallen Sith, Darth Maul, spent nearly ten standard years in exile on the scrap planet Lotho Minor, while the Jedi believed him to be long dead. One day, the Night Sister Talzin learned that Maul had survived the severing of his body. Talzin sent Maul’s brother, Savage Opress, to bring Maul to her. The plan succeeded, and Savage delivered his brother to the Night Sister, who had remained on Dathomir. She gave Maul new cybernetic legs that allowed him to walk more easily. He decided to launch a campaign of revenge with Savage’s help to take the life of the Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi, whom he hated most of all.

In einer Szene in Episode VII deutet Bösewicht Kylo Ren an, dass der Helm ihm Dinge "gezeigt" habe. Die Theorie dazu ist nun, dass der Helm mehr ist als ein lebloses Stück kaputter Ausrüstung, sondern immer noch mit den Energien der Dunklen Seite geladen ist, die Kylo Ren mehr oder weniger dazu genötigt haben, die Seiten zu wechseln. Es wird spekuliert, dass Luke den Helm als eine Art Denk- und Mahnmal aufbewahrt hat. Einerseits, um seines verstorbenen Vaters zu gedenken, andererseits, um an die Gefahren der Dunklen Seite zu erinnern.
56. Lifesize Darth Vader Animatronic
Darth Vader's final scene in *Rogue One: A Star Wars Story* is one of the most powerful and darkest moments in the entire *Star Wars* franchise. After the rebels have captured the Death Star plans, they find themselves aboard a spaceship, desperately trying to escape. Suddenly, their ship is stopped by an Imperial cruiser. In a dark corridor, dimly lit, Vader appears—at first only through the hissing of his breathing mask and the glow of his red lightsaber. What follows is a brief but extremely intense scene: Vader fights his way through a group of Rebel soldiers, demonstrating the full extent of his power. Using the Force, he hurls opponents through the air, deflects blaster shots, and moves forward unstoppably. The narrowness of the corridor intensifies the sense of hopelessness—the Rebels are practically trapped and stand no chance. Meanwhile, the soldiers frantically try to pass on the stolen data. At the last second, they manage to hand the plans over to another ship—right under Vader’s nose. The scene ends with the data finally reaching Leia Organa, which leads directly into the plot of *Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope*. This sequence is so effective because it shows Darth Vader in his purest form: as an almost unstoppable, terrifying force. Unlike in the original trilogy, he comes across here as even more brutal and direct, almost like a force of nature. At the same time, the scene serves as a perfect bridge to the beginning of Episode IV and reinforces the sense that the Rebels won their victory by the skin of their teeth.

Jabba's Palace is a citadel located in the Western Dune Sea on the planet Tatooine. The building became known as the monastery of the mysterious B'omarr monks. After Jabba, a Hutt crime lord, moved his illegal operations to the lawless planet of Tatooine, he took possession of the estate and heavily fortified it until his death. Illegal business deals were mostly negotiated in the throne room. There, a band, Twi’lek dancers, and the rancor in the pit provided entertainment. But to even get there, one first had to pass through the entrance gate, which was guarded on the outside by a security droid. This droid took the form of a computer eye attached to a long, mechanical arm. It scanned visitors for weapons and interrogated them, much like a police interrogation. These TT-8L droids tended to be intrusive and rude and relished their position of power.

66. Foto-Point CANTINA
In the 1977 film *Star Wars*, Han Solo (Harrison Ford) is introduced as an antihero in a defining scene: He is sitting at a bar table, facing the bounty hunter Greedo, and both have drawn their weapons from under the table. In the confrontation, Greedo comes off worse: Han shoots him in cold blood. At least until 1997, that’s how it stayed. But with the Special Edition, released that year, George Lucas tells a new story. Now it is Greedo who shoots first. He misses Han, who in turn shoots back and kills Greedo. Han Solo is thus no longer the cold-blooded killer, but is defending himself.

This is where you enter the former swimming pool. Until 2006, you could still jump from the 10-meter tower into the 5-meter-deep pool here. Since 2011, we have been expanding our exhibition here bit by bit. Because there is no water, the building can no longer be heated through the ventilation shafts. That’s why it’s cool in our exhibition in the summer and very cold in the winter!
68. Lifesize Figure DROIDEKA
The Droidekas were a class of battle droids also known as Destroyer Droids. First deployed by the Trade Federation, these droids served alongside B1 battle droids to protect cargo. In some cases, the Trade Federation also made Droidekas available to the Galactic Republic. With the outbreak of the Clone Wars, a large portion of the Droidekas joined the army of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, but they were deactivated along with the rest of the Separatists’ droid army at the end of the conflict.
69. Model MILLENNIUM FALCON IN STUDIOSCALE
This is the Millennium Falcon from *Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back*. For the first time ever, Harrison Ford has officially signed a licensed *Star Wars* product, and Master Replicas was proud to announce that it is the Millennium Falcon Studio Scale model. Its dimensions and geometry are based on the actual studio model.
70. Extensive collection of GUNS AND LIGHTSABERS
The lightsaber is the weapon of all Force-sensitive individuals, whether Jedi or Sith. The hilt is approximately 30 cm long on average, and the plasma blades can come in various colors. Since every Jedi and every Sith must build their own lightsaber during their training, these sabers differ from one another. Sometimes the differences are only in the details of the hilt, but sometimes they look completely different because the fighting styles differ (e.g., Darth Maul). However, all Jedi lightsabers have one thing in common: their energy is generated by a crystal, a so-called living Kyber crystal. These crystals can be found in various locations throughout the galaxy and are colorless, i.e., white. Only when in the possession of a Jedi do they change color, thereby adapting to their owner. The blades of the Sith are exclusively red because Kyber crystals cannot actually be used for evil and therefore “bleed” when subjugated.
Even if a crystal is unstable, it can still be used if the lightsaber hilt is designed to accommodate this. This is how Kylo Ren’s lightsaber was created. Lightsabers are known for their ability to cut through almost any material.

71. Han Solo and Chewbacca
Han Solo and Chewbacca are among the most iconic duos in the Star Wars saga. Their partnership is a blend of friendship, loyalty, and dry humor—and it works so well precisely because the two are so different.
Han Solo is a smuggler, a daredevil, and a cynic who, at first, thinks mainly of himself. Chewbacca, on the other hand, a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk, is strong, honorable, and deeply loyal. Although he usually communicates only through growls, Han understands him perfectly—a sign of their long-standing bond. The two are co-pilots of the legendary Millennium Falcon and complement each other perfectly in battle as well as in everyday life.
Their relationship goes far beyond a partnership of convenience. Many stories hint that Chewbacca once saved Han’s life and subsequently swore a “life debt” to him. Yet their bond never feels forced—it is marked by genuine trust and mutual respect. Chewbacca often serves as the moral counterweight to Han’s impulsive nature, while Han, in turn, provides him with freedom and adventure.
Throughout the films, Han evolves through this friendship: the selfish loner becomes a loyal hero of the Rebel Alliance. Chewbacca remains by his side the whole time—not just as a warrior, but as a friend.
72. Adidas Star Wars Shoes
When iconic design meets galactic legends, the result is sneakers that are more than just shoes. The Adidas x Star Wars collection combines classic silhouettes with the power of the saga—inspired by heroes, villains, and the infinite reaches of the galaxy. Every detail tells a story; every step carries a piece of myth. Whether in everyday life or on your own mission: these shoes are made for everyone who walks their own path—on the light or dark side of the Force.
73. Boba Fett and Slave One
Boba Fett and his legendary starship, the Slave I, are among the most iconic symbols of bounty hunter culture in the Star Wars universe. The Slave I is a heavily armed patrol and assault freighter with a unique, instantly recognizable design: in flight, the ship stands upright, giving it an unusual, almost menacing silhouette. It originally belonged to Jango Fett before Boba took it over and made it his personal tool. Equipped with powerful weapons, mines, missiles, and cloaking capabilities, the Slave I is perfectly suited for hunting and pursuit. Boba Fett himself is one of the most feared bounty hunters in the galaxy—calm, efficient, and nearly emotionless in his work. Together with his ship, he becomes a sort of silent hunter in space: The Slave I allows him to relentlessly pursue his targets and maintain control even in hopeless situations.
74. Lifesize Figure YODA
Yoda (shown here from Episode III) is only 66 cm tall and weighs 13 kilograms. His lightsaber combat technique was legendary, and he was one of the fastest and best fighters. Almost nothing is known about Yoda’s species, and his home planet is never mentioned or even shown. The mysterious Jedi Master lived to be 900 years old, witnessing both the formation and destruction of the Galactic Republic, as well as the dictatorship of the Empire. For over 800 years, he trained Jedi Knights in the Order and was, of course, one of the most important members of the Jedi Council. Unlike most other Jedi, he sensed a great danger in the future from the very beginning, when Anakin Skywalker’s training began. After Anakin’s transformation into Darth Vader and the rise of the Empire, Yoda went into exile on the swamp planet Dagobah. Years later, he met Luke Skywalker there, who wanted to continue his Jedi training under him. This encounter also led to one of the most powerful scenes in the Star Wars films, in which Yoda demonstrates to a skeptical Luke that it is indeed possible to use the Force to make an X-wing hover out of the swamp. When Luke returned to Dagobah a second time, Yoda had aged significantly and eventually fell asleep forever. He became one with the Force and returned as a Force spirit.
75. Commander Bly
Always calm, always precise—Commander Bly leads his troops with unwavering loyalty and an eye for detail. Fighting under the Republic’s banner, he battles not only for victory, but for the Jedi he trusts. Amid the turmoil of the Clone Wars, he is the steady hand that keeps chaos in check.
76. Lightsaber from the video game THE OLD REPUBLIC
This extremely limited-edition lightsaber was produced by eFX and is made of metal and wood. It replicates the weapon used by Master Orgus Din in the video game “The Old Republic” (developed by BioWare). It was never sold commercially but was produced specifically as a gift for each of the game developers.
Star Wars is one of many themes produced by the LEGO Group. The Star Wars line was LEGO’s first licensed product line. The corresponding licensing agreement was signed in 1999, coinciding with the release of *Episode I*, and was valid for eight years. In 2007, the license was successfully extended through 2011. In 2011, it was extended again for just one year. In 2012, a further 10-year extension of the Star Wars license was announced—LEGO has released many more sets, minifigures, and merchandise through 2022 and beyond.
77. X-Wing and Tie Fighter
The LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series (UCS for short) is primarily aimed at adult LEGO collectors, as the models are highly complex and typically consist of a very large number of bricks. They are notable for their size and are intended more for display than for play. With typically more than 1,000 individual bricks, LEGO designers achieve an exceptionally high level of detail. However, due to the large number of bricks, the sets in the Ultimate Collector’s Series are also correspondingly more expensive. Most models in the Ultimate Collector’s Series include a matching nameplate with all the important information about the respective spaceship.

83. Lego Deathstar
The Death Star consists of four levels. The top level houses a large laser cannon and its control panel. From here, you can access the droid maintenance bay, next to which are two movable laser turrets. The level below houses the superlaser, capable of destroying entire planets, as well as the hangar for Darth Vader’s TIE Fighter. One level down is a rotating turret capable of firing small rubber projectiles. The lowest level is a bit small and serves as a cargo hold. The included building instructions consist of pictograms and images. Of course, such a powerful weapon also needs a crew. In addition to many Stormtroopers and droids, there are also minifigures of heroes like Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader, the Emperor, and many others
How much would it cost to operate the Death Star?
Not even an entire empire could afford the Death Star. The cost of operating the massive battle station would likely far exceed Earth’s total financial resources. That’s according to the British company OVOENERGY, which has crunched the numbers on this. Maintaining the space station costs a total of around 7.4 quadrillion euros per day (that’s a 7 followed by 27 zeros!). This calculation assumes that the Death Star has a diameter of a gigantic 120 kilometers and weighs approximately 907 trillion tons.
84. VINTAGE FIGURES FROM 1977 - 1983
Since the release of *Star Wars* in 1977, the *Star Wars* films have thrilled and captivated millions of people. Many of us grew up with the characters from the *Star Wars* films, and as a result, there is a significant number of people who are passionate collectors of *Star Wars* figures. For some, this is more than just a hobby; it becomes a true passion for which they invest thousands of dollars or euros over time. Once you have all the figures, you start looking for the true treasures that complete a collection. When it comes to the truly rare figures, however, there is almost no price a true collector wouldn’t be willing to pay to acquire one of the rarest pieces. Here are three examples of valuable figures.
Vintage Figure YAK FACE
Even die-hard fans are often unfamiliar with this character from the movies. Yak Face appeared as a background character in the 1985 film *Return of the Jedi*. This action figure was one of the last to be produced in the Vintage line. These figures were mainly distributed in Europe, which is why they are rarely found in the U.S., making them highly sought-after collector’s items. Here, prices exceed $500, provided the figure is unboxed and in very good condition.
Vintage Figure BLUE SNAGGLETOOTH
This figure easily fetches over $600–$1,000 due to a manufacturing error. Blue Snaggletooth was originally supposed to be red, but this was later corrected. Because of this error, the original packaging for this figure is valuable even without the contents, making this particular piece a standout among rarities.
Vintage Figure JAWA IN VINYLCAPE
This 1978 Jawa with a vinyl cape is also a treasure in good condition. Experts estimate its value at up to $3,000—but in reality, even higher prices are being offered for it. For example, a Jawa with a vinyl cape in its original packaging recently sold for £11,300 in the UK (Source: Daily Mail). The cape is the key factor behind such astronomical bids. Since later versions were equipped with a fabric cape, the versions with the vinyl cape are true rarities, which drives the price up.

87. Diorama DOGABAH
Dagobah is a planet in the Outer Rim, located in the Dagobah system of the same name. The surface of Dagobah consists largely of swamps and forests. Dagobah was also the place of exile for the old Jedi Master Yoda, who hid here after surviving Order 66. During his training, Yoda taught Luke much about the Force and also visited the Cave of Evil, where he fought his evil alter ego.
However, Luke did not stay long on Dagobah because he had a vision of the suffering his friends were about to endure. He then promised Yoda that he would return to Dagobah and complete his training. That is exactly what happened a year later, when he finished his formal training. By then, however, Yoda had grown very old and frail, and he subsequently died in his hut.
Our Dagobah diorama was built over the course of three months. It is located on the former bleachers of the indoor swimming pool. This explains the stepped design of the diorama.
Yoda's hut was built out of chicken wire and then plastered. The entrance is a large rain barrel with the bottom cut out. Most of the plant decorations come from the reclaimed areas of Rheinbraun.
Outside the camera’s range was a trench from which Frank Oz and his assistants could operate the Yoda puppet. In scenes where Yoda does not move around the room—such as the scene in which he dies—the puppet was operated through a hole in the floor. Before filming began on the Dagobah set, camera angles, lighting, and choreography were determined through extensive preparatory work using clay figures for all scenes in Yoda’s hut, as the limited space on set left little room for improvisation.
88. Jabbas Throneroom Lifesize
The starting point for Jabba was a small model that was broken down into individual segments and then scaled up proportionally. These scaled-up elements were made from Styrodur, assembled, and filled with construction foam. The final shape was created by shaping the model with a two-component modeling compound. The actual construction time took about two weeks, plus an additional week for painting.
89. Sith Fighter Lifesize
The once-elegant Jedi interceptor, flown by Anakin Skywalker, now bears the dark colors of his new master: Darth Vader. The familiar lines remain, but the spirit of the ship has changed—where hope and duty once reigned, anger and determination now rule. This converted starfighter model is more than just a transition between the Republic and the Empire; it is a silent testament to the fall of a hero and the birth of a legend that will strike fear into the galaxy. Our model was built by the Belgian Garrison, the Belgian branch of the world’s largest Star Wars costuming group, the 501st Fighting Legion.

93. Ghost Busters
The Ghostbusters franchise is one of the most famous cult classics of the 1980s, uniquely blending comedy, science fiction, and supernatural horror. The story centers on three eccentric scientists—Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, and Egon Spengler—who start an unusual business in New York: ghost-busting. Equipped with their iconic proton packs and plenty of wacky ideas, the Ghostbusters head into battle against paranormal phenomena. Along the way, they encounter everything from annoying poltergeists to powerful, apocalyptic beings like Gozer. They are later joined by Winston Zeddemore, who rounds out the team as its down-to-earth member. What makes Ghostbusters so special is the blend of humor and suspense. The characters often don’t take themselves too seriously, even as they face real threats. Add to that the famous logo featuring the crossed-out ghost and the legendary theme song “Ghostbusters,” which remains instantly recognizable to this day. Over the years, the franchise has expanded to include sequels such as *Ghostbusters II* and modern reimagining like *Ghostbusters: Afterlife*. Despite all the changes, the core remains the same: a group of unlikely heroes takes on the supernatural—with technology, wit, and a healthy dose of chaos.

96. Exponate aus ALIENS
The film *Aliens*, directed by James Cameron, is the sequel to Ridley Scott’s *Alien* and is considered a landmark in the science fiction and action genres. While the first film focuses heavily on horror and isolation, *Aliens* expands the story to include action, military strategy, and human drama. The story once again centers on Ellen Ripley, the sole survivor of the first film. Ripley returns to the planet LV-426 with a unit of well-armed Colonial Marines after a radio signal is received from the colony there. Upon arrival, she finds a colony overrun by a vast number of aggressive Xenomorphs. The film combines claustrophobic tension with intense action scenes. The Xenomorphs are portrayed as extremely intelligent and deadly predators, while the Marines often seem helpless despite their state-of-the-art equipment and weapons. In particular, the relationship between Ripley and the little girl Newt provides emotional depth and shows Ripley in an almost maternal role for the first time. In addition to its spectacular action sequences, the film captivates audiences with its intense atmosphere, impressive special effects for the 1980s, and unforgettable set design that brings the alien world of LV-426 and the menacing alien nests to life. Aliens is considered a prime example of how horror, science fiction, and action can merge into an intense, gripping narrative.
97. Exhibits from the hit series *The Mandalorian*
Mandalorians are rather unsavoury characters. They earn their keep – paying for rent, ammunition and hyperspace fuel – by making a living out of taking people out or delivering them to those who have put a hefty bounty on their heads. In the Disney series of the same name, the Mandalorian unexpectedly becomes the foster father of a small, 50-year-old fellow of Jedi Master Yoda. However much Disney tried to establish ‘the Child’ as the name for this character – the internet has spoken: ‘Baby Yoda’. Even after the revelation of his true name, ‘Grogu’, many stick to the affectionate nickname.

110. Photo Point: Boba Fett's throne
Boba Fett’s throne plays a central role in *The Book of Boba Fett* and symbolises both power and responsibility. After Boba Fett dethrones Jabba the Hutt from the throne of the Tatooine crime syndicate, he installs himself as the new ruler – and thus begins his attempt to establish respect and order within a previously chaotic power structure. The throne itself is a powerful symbol: robust, imposing and dark in design, it reflects the harsh world of Tatooine. Whoever takes their seat upon it assumes not only control over resources and criminal gangs, but also responsibility for the people living under this rule – a balancing act between fear, authority and honour. Boba Fett’s reign is no simple game of power. He follows in Jabba’s footsteps, yet he seeks to rule differently: with strategic calculation, diplomatic skill and, at times, unrelenting harshness. The throne thus stands not only for dominion, but also for Boba’s transformation from bounty hunter to lord of a region – a mirror of his personal metamorphosis.

111. Lifesize Figures Guardians of the Galaxy
In the vast expanse of space, American pilot and adventurer Peter Quill becomes the target of an intergalactic manhunt after stealing a mysterious stone. This stone is coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain whose ambitions threaten the entire universe. Quill is forced to team up with a quartet of misfits, consisting of the gun-toting raccoon Rocket, the tree-like creature Groot, the vengeful muscleman Drax the Destroyer and the deadly Gamora. Release date in Germany: 28 August 2014.
The life-size figure of Groot was built by Markus Meier. A shop mannequin served as the basis for our figure. Groot is a humanoid tree-like creature and belongs to the species ‘Flora colossus’. The branch-like strands were made from foam rubber insulation tubing and then finished with foam rubber and decorative grass. It took just two days to build. Within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Groot formed a bounty hunter duo with Rocket Raccoon. Throughout the entire film, Groot speaks only three words: “I am Groot!”. For him, the different words and meanings arise from the tone and mood of the spoken “I am Groot!”. This makes it all the more remarkable that his final words in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1 were “We are Groot!”. It shows just how important his team is to him.
112. Original costumes from SPACE BALLS (1987)
*Spaceballs* is a cult science-fiction comedy by Mel Brooks, conceived as a parody of the *Star Wars* universe and other sci-fi films of the 1970s and 1980s. The film combines absurd humour, wordplay and slapstick with familiar sci-fi tropes and has since established itself as a classic. The story centres on heroes such as Lone Starr and Princess Vespa, who battle the tyrannical Dark Helmet. They are aided by the loyal droid Dot Matrix and the lovable ‘Half-Sized’ Yogurt, who serves as a parody of Yoda. The film is full of over-the-top references: lightsabres, space battles, intergalactic chases – everything is lovingly poked fun at. At the same time, it contains clever meta-humour, such as allusions to film distributors, marketing and pop culture, which makes it entertaining for adults too.
Here you can see various original costume pieces from *Space Balls*, such as the princess’s wedding dress and shoes, Lone Starr’s shirt and trousers, and a Dark Helmet action figure. The liquid Schwartz is a replica.

127. Diorama AT-AT CUTAWAY AT-AT (All-Terrain Armoured Transport) is the designation for a heavily armoured, four-legged combat walker. The Empire deployed these walkers alongside ground troops. Manufactured by Kuat Shipyards, each walker was 20 metres long and 22.5 metres tall. The cockpit was located in the ‘head’ of the walker, where three officers were stationed to operate the controls. The ‘belly’ of the walker could carry up to 40 troopers and 5 speeder bikes. Naturally, in addition to sensors and scanners, the AT-AT was also equipped with several blaster cannons.

Wampas are white, horned reptilian mammals that live in the ice desert of Hoth. They grow to a height of up to three metres and weigh around 150 kg. Wampas are carnivores and feed on taun-tauns and other creatures. They live in ice caves and hunt their prey before they feel hungry. The prey is then stunned and stored in the ice cave until their hunger is great enough. As they possess enormous physical strength as well as sharp teeth and claws, they are feared hunters. Furthermore, their white fur serves as camouflage in the ice desert. This is how a wampa was able to surprise Luke Skywalker and drag him into a cave.

The massive energy generator had to be built outside within the mountain range and heavily shielded. The southern entrance led to the large hangar, which could be quickly evacuated in the event of an attack. The transport hangar had two southern exits and was large enough for transport ships to take off and land. The smaller Hangar 7 at the northern entrance housed the Millennium Falcon and the Renegade Squadron.
