On vacation this week to visit my family in Chicago, I decided to check out the Field Muesum to see all the memorbila from Star Wars.When I first arrived the line was very long with a least 75 people ahead of me.While my family waited in line I decided to check out the gift shop.Inside it had mostly Sue the T-Rex objects but they also had some Star Wars books and actual pieces of film from the movies for sale.When I return in line we were about twenty spaces closer.Later some lady announced the tickets were sold out.I like any true fan was pissed.My family then decided then to just check out the other exhibits since we were there and stayed in line.When we finally got there some guy was talking to a lady behind the counter about Star Wars.He was mad because it was sold out.The lady then told him that it wasn't sold out and that he could go to the 4:15 showing.I jumped in and then finally got the tickets.Since we had a few hours to kill I looked around and checked out the dinosaurs and the mummy exhibits.With a hour left I decided to go by the exhibit.There I saw a sign that said "Star Wars Audio head-sets".I then asked a lady when I could buy them and she said around 4.Very excited and anxise I stayed waiting for it to start.When it was time I was one of the first in line.When you walk in you hear the Star Wars music which gets you even more exicted.Once in the first thing I saw was a stormtrooper in a glass case.It was so cool life-sized and all.I then saw 3PO and R2 and just had to take a picture.The costumes were so cool up close.I took many pictures including Han Solo's outfit and Chewie's 7 foot outfit.I also took pictures of Yoda,the lightsabers,the wampa,boba fett,jabba the hutt,darth vader, and much, much more.It was so exciting they had Lando's costume,Luke's jedi costume,Han in Carbonite,a Star Destroyer over 12 feet long,and Leia's Cloud City outfit.It also included Anakin's pod and his pod costume.The head-phones didn't work which really got me mad.Once I left the exhibit I walked into a huge Star Wars store.It was just for the people who toured the exhibit.They had evrything from original posters,magizines,clothes,evrything.When I left I was pretty happy.With having to wait for epi. II it's good to check out other Star Wars events.

I caught the event in Washington last year. I admit it was very cool, I'd never seen so many movie props in one place before.

Darth Daft
I've only ever visited one Star Wars Exhibition and that was the one at Barbican Centre earlier on this year. I enjoyed it a lot, although I thought it was a bit short. I loved standing before the great body armour of Darth Vader!

theEviljedi
Geesh finally a new response to this.And yes it was very short.

Darth Daft
JESUS! How often do you update this thing?! I only just posted that a few minutes ago!

theEviljedi
What do you mean?

Darth Daft
Don't worry. It's just that I wrote a post and then only minutes later you'd replied. I thought this was a forum, not a chatsite.

theEviljedi
I just happened to be on this forum the same time as you.

Darth Daft
Ok then. Just coincidence then, eh?

theEviljedi
I guess so.Thanks for updating the old topics by the way.

Darth Daft
You're welcome. I might be on here a while, randomly replying to any old posts. I like to be one of those people who end up having hundreds of posts. Long way to go...

theEviljedi
Yeah.It took me about 8 months to reach what I have.

Darth Daft
@#%$, man, you've had loads of posts! Whats the highest status you can reach? (Ya know, out of Padawan and Jedi Council Member and all that)

Dim
I don't think I'm going to comment on this...other to say that something about being off topic and that I've never had a chance to see Myth and Magic sad

theEviljedi
Jedi Council member is the highest and I can tell you that you don't get on it with that language said.I started to like you and will continue as long as you watch your mouth.And Dim you would love the exhibit.smile Darth the order is Padawan,Knight,Master,and if your chosen Council Member.

Darth Daft
Thanx for the info and sorry for the language, my master. It will not continue...

Darth Daft
Once again, I'd just like to apologise for my behavior, master. I did not realise that swearing was not allowed on this forum.
And I am grateful that you think I'm ready to take the trials, master.
Do you think there's still hope for me master? Do you think that I may someday become a Jedi Knight? Or even a Jedi Master? Or even a Jedi Council Member?

King Jedi
It depends on how long you stay here and what you post.
This should really be moved to GDF.

theEviljedi
Well this was made 3 months ago before GDF was made.

Darth Daft
You DO forgive me Master EvilJedi don't you?
I don't wanna be a problem. Forgive my bad behaviour yes?

theEviljedi
Yes young Padawan.Just don't let the darkside take over.Strong it is but control it you must.I have forseen you will become a great Jedi Knight.That good enough Darth?

Darth Daft
Yes master, thank you. And I'm also sorry about that bit that you had to edit on the RPG section. I didn't realise that we couldn't mention things like that either.

theEviljedi
Confusion runs threw the force.Anyway enough with this Jedi dialouge.I think you will be a powerful asset to this forum Darth.

Darth Daft
Okay then. I'd better just shut up then. Yes?

theEviljedi
No I think I better.laughing out loud

Darth Daft
ok then. I'm guessing this whole conversation is going to be taken off then yes? I mean, who wants to read this?

theEviljedi
Maybe.Probally just shut down.I hope not though.

Darth Daft
Yeah I must have taken you a while to write the bit about the magic of myth exhibit.

theEviljedi
I wrote it when I was in Chicago and was bored solid so I didn't really mind typing that much.smile

Darth Daft
Ah I see, master. Neither do I. I'm good with my hands, as I'm sure you've already noticed during my lightsabre training.

theEviljedi
You also have fast reflexes.

Darth Daft
Thank you my master. Of course, I couldn't have attained those skills without the things that you have teached me throughout my training. You have been an excellent tutor, master.

theEviljedi
Your a funny one Darth.smile

Darth Daft
Thank you master. Nothing like a good bit of humour. Anyway, I gotta go. Could you make a reply to my story on the RPG section. Ya know, the one about Episode X, please?
I need to get it going. See if anyone else gets interested.
By the way, new Episode 2 pic on the official site tomorrow. Can't wait.

theEviljedi
Actually it's out tonight.What do you live in England?

Darth Daft
London, u?

theEviljedi
The great country of America.smile

Darth Daft
Which part of America?

theEviljedi
Southern America.

Darth Daft
Okaaaaaaaaay...........Which state?

theEviljedi
How about I tell you every where I lived in order.-Chicago,Philidelphia,Louisiana,Texas,and now back in Louisiana.

Darth Daft
New Orleans? Morgan City?

theEviljedi
On the other side of the causeway from N.O.

King Jedi
All of this stuff should be discussed in the General Discussion Forum. RAZ can you move it there please.

theEviljedi
Don't move it.Just get back on topic.

Darth Daft
Yes yes yes....erm.....so.......Was the exhibition......erm........good?

theEviljedi
Good but very short.

Darth Daft
Same with Barbican. I really loved standing next to Chewbacca's costume. It's so big!

theEviljedi
Vader's was cool too.

Darth Daft
Yeah. Natalie Portman must be pretty small though

theEviljedi
At least she dosen't marry Chewie.smile

Darth Daft
Heh heh yeah <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/embarassed.gif ALT="embarrasment"> . Did you see any Yoda models or the baby ewok face?

Xizor
It's good to see someone besides me respond to this site in 3 months, although it's gotten way off topic. Darh Daft welcome, although you don't have to call EJ master.

Dim
I don't think he meant that too seriously Xiz...

As for the exhibit..What did they have for the girls?..

Darth Daft
I did mean it seriously. EvilJedi is my master and I will always respect him. He taught me everything I know about the Force, lightsabres and of course, monkey shoes.
About the girls, my sister really liked the Barbican, but then she's quite a big fan of Star Wars, so I don't know how others would like it. But then, you were probably reffering to the Magic of Myth one weren't you?

theEviljedi
At least one person respects me.sad

Dim
Yeah I was refering to Magic and Myth...

and EJ, I respect you plenty...I just meant that DD isn't kissing you feet or anything. And it's kind of natural that DD would put alot of stock into what you have to say considering that you're one of the few that's often here..smile

Darth Daft
No it's coz he's my master. I just told you didn't I?

theEviljedi
Only 3 people here respect me.They are Dim,Darth,and RC.That really bugs me.sad

Dim
What are you complaining about...how many people are on here..not many more than 3..that's for sure.

DD, why did you make EJ your master?...just wondering..

Darth Daft
Coz he was kind of the first person I met on here. Besides, he's a pretty cool dude. Not that the rest of you aren't. But you know what I mean.

Gundark
Its just me, the lone padawan, here to comment on THE TOPIC. I have not seen Magic & Myth, although I would like to as I know I would go nuts over it ! Hi everybody !

Darth Daft
Hi Gundark! How ya doing ya old scoundral! Hey! What you do to my ship?

Dim
smile Hi Gundark!...looks like we're in the same boat as far as Myth and Magic's concerned..

Darth Daft
Yeah same here. I can't afford to go to Chicago anyways.
