Blasterz would have LOVED to have gone into the Galaxy Connection Museum, but in Arkansas everyone's in church on Sunday mornings, so nothing is open.
We had to be content with checking out R2D2, Lord Vader, and a droid from the street.
The Galaxy Connection is located at 626 Central Ave., across the street from the Visitor Center in downtown Hot Springs AR.

" An attraction for all generations! This one of a kind museum featuring the owner's (Jon Clowers) personal collection of toys, props and life size characters from Star Wars and Superheroes while tying in his own personal story is inspiring and encouraging. Guests are welcome to take lots of photos and interact with many of the props & exhibits. There's even a fun dress up area. You can choose a semi-guided tour or a special VIP tour with the owner himself!
Whether you can quote hundreds of lines from the movies and comics, or if you've just seen them once or twice, you'll enjoy walking through our museum. We have a wide range of vintage Star Wars and Superhero items that will make even die-hard fanatics gleeful with excitement when they visit The Galaxy Connection.
We also have a fantastic gift shop that features lots of toys, clothing, and miscellaneous items to get your Star Wars or superhero fan that are unavailable in big box stores.
