My friend Mark and I went to see this exhibit of mainly costumes from TV & film today at the Henry Ford museum. It's a set of stuff on loan from the Seattle Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame. Some really cool items. I took a lot of pictures and some video too. I'm going to compile it into a mini or full podcast sometime. But here's a little sneak peak at some of my pics.
NICE! If it's Paul Allen's stuff, it's the real deal!
Very cool photos! Thanks for sharing them. That Vader display is especially nice.

I know that the costume changed from film to film (esp. for episode III), but you have a better eye than I do, man. :) How can you tell the difference? Is it from the chest panel, the shoulder/upper chest piece, or what?
I've seen many of those in Seattle some time back, but the Science Fiction Museum doesn't allow cameras inside (what a bummer) or I would have had plenty of pictures to show. Cool pictures though.
Here's some more info on the Vader display:
Cool pics Rico!

This was just a little preview. I will soon put them up on my Flickr account (with my other pictures) soon. Over at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/treksf (http://www.flickr.com/photos/treksf)
I'm also going to put together the video soon as well - probably for a special podcast.

The shape of the helmet and the grips on the lightsaber. The chest boxes were aslo different, but I don't know how to tell with those. The shoulder armor had different paint job as well. I also know that's the helmet Paul Allen collected. :)
Great pics Rico, thanks for sharing.
Full set of pics now up on my Flickr account.
