This month’s questions for Steve and Rancho Obi-Wan:

Rancho Obi-Wan is just that, a “Rancho.” It’s not big enough to be considered a “Ranch,” but it’s a charming little space just outside of Petaluma, Calif. We do, however, back up to larger fields and as such we have all kinds of wild animal visitors like deer, skunks, foxes, coyotes, weasels, badgers, and… turkeys.
The first C2E2—the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo—took place April 16 to 18, 2010 at Chicago’s main convention center, McCormick Place. Steve Sansweet was there representing Lucasfilm and gave a presentation on what was up at the company, including the continuing adventures of Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

As a result of the current coronavirus pandemic, we have had to cancel all live events for 2020, including guided tours of the museum, and our annual Fundraising Gala. This significant loss of revenue makes it a difficult challenge to raise the necessary funds required to meet our operating expenses.
Your patronage will make it possible for Rancho Obi-Wan to continue to educate and inspire people by sharing the wonders of the collection online through the new Virtual Museum. Frankly, our very existence depends on your generous support. Thank you very kindly.
