City council members in Huntsville, Alabama, are considering how much help they're willing to give Imperial and Trade Federation forces in taking over their town.
Representatives of the U.S. Space and Rocket Center (home of Spacecamp) are asking for $100,000 from Huntsville's taxpayers to help promote the "Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination" exhibit headed to the museum in June 2010. The exhibit features costumes and props from all six Star Wars movies, while exploring how science plays a part in the storytelling. Museum officials expect the event to bring more than 150,000 tourists to Huntsville.
The Space and Rocket Center folks want the money from the city council to hype the event across the great American Southeast. But in these difficult economic times, council members are understandably reluctant to fork over the cash.
Any Star Wars fan who would like to try a Jedi mind trick on the city council can reach them here. But first, ask yourself: "What would Yoda do?"
