Until recently a gallery dedicated to futurists Jules Verne, HG Wells, and Leonardo da Vinci, today this building is all Star Wars, all the time. On display are props from the films and some replicas, and you can get photo ops with Chewbacca (he's actually kind of sweet) or Darth Vader (not so much). You can also play Star Wars–themed video games.
