But the best time I had seeing props was when the Where Science Meets Imagination exhibit came to Saint Paul, MN while I was living there. Went twice it was so good. They had a ton of screen used OT props costumes and models on display. Major highlights included the full scale landspeeder and the show-stopping five foot Millennium Falcon. That was one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

Ditto for me. The exhibit came to my city, and it was incredible to go. By far the coolest thing for me was the full scale landspeeder. It felt like I was finally close to the history of the movie that I loved so much. I took a bunch of pictures (enough that I killed my battery I remember), but sadly they are not on this computer. I cannot say I remember the Millennium Falcon in particular, but now this makes me want to go find that folder full of pictures on my other computer.

As for people, I have not truly met anyone, per se :( I guess the only thing close to that was when I went to a Star Wars: In Concert performance also in my city, and Anthony Daniels hosted / narrated. So I saw him in person, so that has to count for something. That is it though.
