Episode Synopsis

It's the day in 1977 that Star Wars first showed in movie theaters. Props and costumes from the Star Wars movies have shown up in museums, and a few have had stranger afterlives, including an original model of the Death Star. Plus: a statue first put up in the old Soviet Union was repurposed in more recent times to join the Star Wars universe.
