The Star Wars Collectors Archive
When people think of Star Wars, the first thing that comes to mind is the popular series of movies that inspired a generation of kids, adults, and movie-makers around the world. The influence of Star Wars on motion pictures is well-known. What is less well-known is that Star Wars grossed more money from merchandising than from box office receipts, which is a remarkable achievement considering that the Star Wars trilogy broke box office records at the time of release. Just about any piece of Star Wars merchandise can be considered a collectible, and that's why we're here. This archive is a virtual museum of some of the finest private collections of Star Wars memorabilia in the world.
Much of the information contained here is researched and written by
