While much of the exhibit remains under tight wrap, museum organizers did share a few key details on what visitors can expect to see. 

It’s a virtual treasure trove of interstellar goodies — go ahead, break out the Galactic Credit Standard! — with special attention paid to never-before-seen movie mementos. 

Some highlights: Darth Maul’s lightsaber, Darth Vader’s costume, along with a who’s who of noteworthy and nefarious characters, including Grogu, R2-D2 and C-3PO. 

Oh, and on-set props. Look for an authentic speeder bike and original props from Andor, all visible up close. 

Lucky attendees can get an exclusive first look at Star Wars: The Experience at the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con 2026 on Friday, July 24, 2026. There, actress Ashley Eckstein — the voice of Ahsoka Tano in multiple Star Wars animated series — leads a panel discussion alongside key creative minds from Lucasfilm and The Franklin Institute, including Abby Bysshe.
