Our mission is to serve the world through the collection, conservation, exhibition and interpretation of star wars memorabilia and artifacts, using the collection to provide meaningful educational, aesthetic, intellectual and cultural experiences for a wide array of audiences and to carry out other charitable and educational activities associated with this goal.our museum program includes giving docent-led tours. Paid tours are scheduled in advance from our website and are conducted mostly on saturdays or other days as docents are available. Free tours for school groups are offered and donations of tours to help other charities fundraise are managed on a case-by-case basis. During tours docents discuss the history of particular items, the cultural impact of star wars, and ways to participate in various star wars related communities. They also explore the history and techniques of movie-making, describe different styles of art and art traditions of different countries, and offer suggestions for incorporating the joy and positivity of their fandom in their own lives and spreading those feelings of good will to others.rancho obi-wan also creates small inspirational traveling exhibits from the collection to be presented at various venues for different lengths of time.in october, 2024 rancho obi-wan announced our intention to merge with three other large collections and build a new, large public museum called the saga museum of star wars memorabilia. Fundraising for this initiative has commenced and will be a continuing project until the completion of the new museum.”
