The first time I ever visited the Archives and saw the condition that Luke's Red 5 X-Wing model was in - a condition mirrored by no shortage of artifacts there - my heart broke. And I realized that nobody in any official capacity has the kind of reverence for this film that its most dedicated fans do. I did not enter in Legacy lightly. It's too late for Red 5; it's not too late for Star Wars.

Yeah, I was out there in 1996, and have to agree, sadly. It was amazing how much stuff had been kept, but a lot of it was in a really terrible state, which is a genuine tragedy.
