Presenter: Margaret Weitekamp
Join space history curator Margaret Weitekamp as she discusses two different type of Star Wars artifacts: toys and merchandise sold when the film was released, like action figures and lunch boxes, and commemorative pieces, like the R2-D2 mailbox on display in the James S. McDonnell Space Hangar, which celebrated the 30th anniversary of the film.
Meet at the nose of the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird in the Boeing Aviation Hangar.

Udvar-Hazy Center, a Museum staff member talks to the public about the history, collection, or personalities related to a specific artifact or exhibition in the Museum.
