PETALUMA, Calif.--If you think that George Lucas has the largest "Star Wars" collection in the world, you'd be wrong. That distinction belongs to an unassuming man named Steve Sansweet who houses more than 300,000 individual items in a nondescript building in the middle of what used to be a giant henhouse.

Sansweet's project is known as Rancho Obi-Wan, and it is a sight to behold. With more than 90,000 items on display, the museum is a must-visit for true "Star Wars" fans given that it houses countless one-of-a-kind items, from special promotional objects to fan-made projects to bootleg items.

Among the museum's treasures is this working animatronic cantina band, from the original "Star Wars." Sansweet was able to purchase it from former toy empire FAO Schwarz's bankruptcy sale in Las Vegas. It used to live behind the soda counter at the toy chain's Vegas store.
