| We went to the members’ preview of the Star Wars science exhibit | Visiting the dinosaurs before our appointed time at Star Wars | More dino stuff | The Star Wars hall | About half of the exhibit was just display cases with movie models and props | The line for the hovercar |
| Flynn drives the car | Debra’s turn (Innaias wasn’t tall enough, and Guinness opted out) | Part of the “science” at the exhibit was this area where one could build Lego mag-lev cars | To start, one attaches six Lego blocks with magnets onto a Star Wars land-speeder shaped chassis | Innaias learns about electromagnetism | The next project step is to test one’s car on a flat track, with permanent magnets for levitation and electromagnets for propulsion |
| Once the basic car is assembled, then there’s a trickier track to try it on. You have to time the button presses just right to get the car down the track. | Hypothetically speaking | Luke’s hand had to be replaced after Darth Vader sliced it off, so part of the exhibit involves medical technology | The exhibit included an animatronic with synchronized video presentation on modern robots, both general- and special-purpose | A couple of notable Wookies posing with Flynn and Guinness | They had these simple real-time-strategy games, operated by placing symbol-coded tiles down in front of a camera that registered the player’s image and their arrangements of the tiles |
