Last weekend, the center of the Star Wars galaxy was in Petaluma, the home of the incredible Rancho Obi-Wan, and while life meant we couldn’t be there in person we were certainly there in spirit. Watch this fantastic video from Turtle Wars, who gives us a great insight into what was clearly a wonderful event as the Star Wars community celebrated the 80th birthday of Steve Sansweet (or as Steve says, the 30th anniversary of his 50th birthday).

Steve Sansweet’s 80th Birthday Celebration on June 14, 2025, with a fundraiser event to benefit Rancho Obi-Wan (the world’s largest private Star Wars memorabilia collection) and The Saga Museum. Thanks to Anne, Steve, all of the organizers, and docents.
