If you are a Star Wars fan....you have to see this place

The Yoda Guy Movie Exhibit, nestled amongst Front Street's duty free jewelry stores, is possibly the most surprising enterprise in the Caribbean. Who would expect to find Darth Vader, Pinhead from HELLRAISER and Riddley Scott's ALIEN in St Maarten? But this unprecedented showcase has that and a whole lot more. There are displays that span six decades of movie making, relics from THE TERMINATOR, MEN IN BLACK and even THE MALTISE FALCAN. There's also an incredible collection of lifecasts, the actual faces of Hollywood stars, From Bogart & Brando, though Sean Connery & Jack Nicholson to Michael Jackson, Johnny Depp & Angelina Jolle. The collection is extended to include famous historical figures too… the actual faces of Abraham Lincoln, (cast 3 months before his assassination), Benjamin Franklin and George Washington, (cast in. 1778 and 1783 respectively by french sculptor Jean Antoine Houden), and death masks of both Oliver Cromwell, (1658) and Vladimir Lenin (1924). The Exhibit is the brainchild of Hollywood creature effects wizard Nick Maley, known as "that Yoda Guy" for his contribution to the creation of Yoda for the STAR WARS sagas. If you don't know who Nick is, just google his name. He made over 50 movies, including SUPERMAN, HIGHLANDER, KRULL & LIFEFORCE, worked with Hollywood legends like Sean Connery, Sir Anthony Hopkins and Harrison Ford, (you will see them all in the exhibit), was featured in CINEMAX and HBO specials, won a place in THE GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS and was nominated for an EMMY. Nick shares his professional perspective on the making of famous movies via DVD and, if you are lucky enough to find him there, he will dedicate purchases from the Yoda Guy Shop and do photos with customers. The Shop sells signed movie memorabilia, posters, antique STAR WARS comics, behind the scene photos and storyboards… unique autographed slices of STAR WARS history that become a legacy to pass on through the family. There's also Nick's celebrated Caribbea...

Yoda in paradise
Nick Maley was on the team who created Yoda and other creatures for Star Wars and other films. He is a wealth of information about Star Wars, the movie industry as well as being a really nice guy. He is also a great artist of Caribbean scenes Who would think you would find this on St. Martin.

Awesome visit with the Star Wars Yoda creator, and his movie memorabilia and great behind the scenes storytelling.
The YodaGuy museum has a lot of Star Wars artifacts as well as memorabilia from many, many other movies such as Superman, Men in Black. There is something for everyone to see. Nick Maley, the artistic creator in many movies, including Star Wars, is often In the museum working on adding new items all the time, as well as his own creative island drawings. Come see the Star Wars storyboards, scripts, stormtrooper, the Emporer, and more! Take a quick tour of the museum looking at facial casts of Johnny Depp, Marlon Brandon and Michael Jackson and many many more. The shop has something for everyone and Nick is happy to sign them for you. Proceeds go to his charity. This was a highlight for us and is a must see in Philipsburg. Advance tickets are not required.
