The Star Wars Collectors Archive


Created by Gus Lopez (lopez@cs.washington.edu).

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 Chris Georgoulias (stuntboy@ols.net)
Additional documents by Chris Nichols (anichols@bucknell.edu) and Martin Thurn (thurn@cis.ohio-state.edu).
Lots of clever HTML tricks and suggestions by Andy King (sailorcw@ix.netcom.com).
