Using a deal we planned a visit to Stars of the Galaxy, an unofficial Star Wars Museum in Mönchengladbach,Germany.
This is a passion project. Although it looks outdated in ways and some exhibits could use more love (figures that fell over in dioramas, or some broken pieces), you can clearly see that this is someone's hobby and collection.
I think we we went for an hour, but we just do not have the patience to meticulously examine every exhibit. So i would say somewhere between 1 to 2 hours to see it all.
It also featured some props for other movies and series (Blade, Legend of the Seeker and Aeon Flux for instance), and there was a selection Star Wars and movie related items you could buy in the Shop.
Despite the fact that it looked a bit outdated and amateurish in some parts, as a long time Star wars fan, I liked it and i think it's definitely worth seeing.
One point of feedback is that I would have liked to get some memorabilia from the museum itself, fridge magnet, keychain, etc.. When I mentioned this to the proprietor he hooked me up with an official "Stars of the Galaxy" pin. Thank you for that and may the force...

We didn't use the virtual snoop app, but listening to all the behind the scenes extras would have certainly...

I didn't know what to expect, but the tour inside was quite large and adventurous. Lots of things to see. Also some interactive spots. And LOTS of little easter eggs :) Incredible attention to detail, you could walk it three times and still see different things.
Our host was absolutely lovely. Very friendly and passionate. And has a beautiful feline companion who keeps watch at the entrance of this enchanted place 🤗
We thoroughly enjoyed!
