Star Wars Travel: Stormtroopers Invading Philly

Speaking of space travel, if $200K is a bit steep for you, admission to the new Star Wars exhibit at Philly's Franklin Institute is a relatively cheap $20.50. The science center is hosting Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination from February 9 until May 4.

Some authentic props including Luke's landspeeder from Episode IV and Darth Vader's helmet from Episode III are part of the show. There will also be models and other Star Wars stuff to see, including a battalion of Imperial Stormtroopers the Institute has hired for the opening day celebration.

For an extra five bucks, you can even hop into a replica of the Millennium Falcon for a multimedia tour through space. Sadly, we hear its a trip through our galaxy, not one far, far away.
