When you go shopping at the Skywalker Ranch, you don’t just keep the souvenirs that you bought, you keep the shopping bag too! The Skywalker Ranch General Store isn’t open to the public, but is accessible to staff and those who are visiting for occasional events. It sells some very unique collectibles featuring the Ranch logo, some of which we’ve started looking from our collection.

For the 2012 release of The Phantom Menace in 3D, I attended a press junket at Skywalker Ranch and movie screening at the Lucasfilm theater in San Francisco. A very cool souvenir from that experience was the press/security passes issued. I’ve put a lot of photos from when we were over there online on the Star Wars New Zealand website: part one, part two.

In 2012 I was fortunate enough to be able to visit Skywalker Ranch (and Lucasfilm at the Letterman Digital Arts Center in San Francisco) as part of a press junket promoting the 3D release of Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. More on that story later! One of the souvenirs I picked up at the on-site Skywalker Ranch General Store was a patch representing the Ranch’s combined emergency services. The accompanying pic below is with our daughter and one of the Skywalker Ranch emergency response vehicles.
