#171: Dan Zehr and the legacy of collecting

  • Summary

  • Dan Zehr returns to the program to discuss the recent announcement of the Saga Museum of Star Wars Collectibles by Rancho Obi-Wan at their fundraising event recently.


    The owners of the largest collection of Star Wars memorabilia aims to merge with other super collectors and create a dedicated space to house the combined collections which would operate as a museum. It would allow for more fans and visitors as well as offer educational programming. Their goal is to raise 2 million dollars in the next two years to achieve this goal.


    As collectors and some fans start to grow older, it does beg the question of what is to become of these collections and should they be in a proper museum? And what about our own collections. You may not have a cool name for your Star Wars room/shelf, but what would be your plans for your prized possessions, once you have grown past them, or they, you.


    Dan Zehr as you well know is the host of the popular Coffee with Kenobi podcast, which, along with its tie-in social media channels and the CWK Facebook group, has been talking Star Wars and fostering community for over 11 years. Dan has been out to Rancho Obi-Wan many times and has interviewed with Steven Sansweet on multiple occasions.
