    Can anyone tell me whether the X Wing is still at Fox? And if it is how long is it going to be there?

    My son is 4 and is convinced he is Luke Skywalker - thought it might give him a kick to go and see the X Wing.

    As a side note....
    Funny thing is he has a red and green light saber - lately he gives me the red one and then hides telling me he is Luke and I am Dark Vader (thats his words not mine) and I have to look for him (as per ROTJ). Cracks me up, he does!

    Also the other day his little sister had his pj pants on his head with the two legs dangling over her shoulders. He said "she is one of the green jedi dad" - referring to the twilek in AOTC (don't know the name sorry).

    My son is becoming a crazy fan already - enough to make a dad proud! He he.

    i assume it would be there until the film finished, but i am only guessing

    makes no sense to cart that big thing out for 1 night tho

    Ahahah thats a great one. I think your son is referring to Kit Fisto, one of the poor jedi whos fate lies in Palpatine's hands!

    I think it lives at FOX.

    It's the same one we used back in 1997 for the Star Wars X-Wing tour.

    It's 1/3 scale to the original.

    Still bloody big though.

    Gotta agree with you Bart, a defining point in my Fatherhood was when my son won a "Wookee Roar" competition at a stage show during Myth of Magic at the Powerhouse. I was so proud.

    Your son is absolutely nuts; I love it! :D

    Last time I was there the X-Wing was still there. But that was before the weekend. Give Hoyts a call if you want to check before taking your kids. :)

    I'm fairly certain they keep it in storage there, I remember seeing it tucked away behind shadecloth and a myriad of tables when trying to sneak onto the ROTS se...er, when taking a tour. O:)

    The wings fold up.

    We called it the "dead Spider Fighter" when it was in transit.
