The Largest Star Wars Fan Exhibition

Calling all Jedis! An exhibition unlike any other in the galaxy is coming to a science center near you, opening March 6th, 2023 at the Discovery Center of Idaho. Chosen by the public as the best Star Wars fan-made exhibition in 2017, The Fans Strike Back Exhibition is the largest privately owned collection of Star Wars fan items, and this Spring, we’re bringing it to Boise, Idaho.
The Discovery Center of Idaho has partnered with the Micron Foundation to host this world-class traveling exhibition featuring items collected by fans and displayed for fans. Featured in cities across Europe, from Madrid to Paris, and America, from New York to Las Vegas, this world-renowned exhibition gives fans the chance to explore the Empire in a whole new way.

The Experience

The Fans Strike Back Exhibition is a unique experience for the whole family with exceptional staging of the most popular Star Wars sets, a stunning depiction of a spaceship battle, and even a special selection of mythical weapons, helmets, film masks signed by actors, and iconic creatures from the legendary saga. Visitors will immerse themselves in a galaxy far, far away through photos, posters, famous costumes, life-size figurines, models, light sabers, blasters and more–all official objects bought by Star Wars fans.

The Fans Strike Back Exhibition opens at the Discovery Center of Idaho on March 6th, 2023 and will run until Fall 2023.
