The event was organized by Dan Madsen, head of the Star Wars Fan Club, and held in Denver, Colorado—where the fan club was based at the time—at the Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum.[2] Activities included actor panels, THX theater demonstrations, behind-the-scenes footage from Episode I, and the world premiere of the Duel of the Fates music video. The grounds boasted a vendors tent, and the museum hosted an exhibition consisting of props from the Lucasfilm archives, including Anakin Skywalker's full-scale podracer and a 3/4 scale X-wing starfighter (which had been used in a commercial), allowing the estimated 20,000 attendees to get a glimpse into Lucasfilm and Star Wars history.[source?]
