If you're a big Star Wars fan, chances you've heard of Steve Sansweet. You might think of yourself as a really big Star Wars fan but Steve puts us all to shame. He has amassed a huge collection of Star Wars collectibles over the years. He is now the President and CEO of Rancho Obi-Wan, a nonprofit corporation that wants to "serve the public through the collection, conservation, exhibition and interpretation of Star Wars memorabilia and artifacts, using the collection to provide meaningful educational, aesthetic, intellectual and cultural experiences for a wide array of audiences and to carry out other charitable and educational activities associated with this goal."
Rancho Obi-Wan is located in Sonoma County just west of Petaluma, California. You can visit their website for more information: ranchoobiwan.org.
Rancho Obi-Wan brought a tiny portion of their collection to Star Wars Celebration. The collection consists of officially released merchandise as well as fan-created oddities.
Again, visit Rancho Obi-Wan's website for more information. You can also donate any amount to the nonprofit.
