The Death Star is currently on loan to the Science Fiction Museum downtown. (If you're gonna be visiting Seattle in the near future, definitely try to plan a visit--you can push a button and make the lights go on! Way cool!)
HOWEVER, before our favorite movie artifact EVAR landed in Jet City, it had a much storied history, which involved an overland journey from a mild-manndered Bay Area storage facility to a hillbilly antique store in Missouri.
Now the full story can be told, via the wonder of blogs! Former owner and official Death Star Historian Todd Franklin take you through the saga.
Part the first.
Part the second.
And, Todd promises a third post tomorrow, written by our own Mr. Tikistitch, to complete the trilogy! Neato indeed!
