Actually, there are no visors. The helmets are "open face." You are correct
though, the blue guards are a foreshadow to the Imperial Guards.

Yes, it was. In fact, if you step outside you can probably see it... it's
visible from most of the northern hemisphere... <G>
It was about three feet wide and about seven feet long, and about two feet
high... my dimensions could be off, it's been several months... but it was
very detailed... much more than it needed to be. It was obvious that alot of
work went into building it, and though it was made up of bits from all sorts
of different model kits it was hard to tell... everything just seemed to
belong. The whole exhibit was quite impressive. We took one of those kodak
disposable cameras with us (I didn't have my digital camera then) and we used
it all up in the first room... <G> There was just so much to see. It was all
classic stuff too... they had Anakin Skywalker's uniform and a podracer model
at the very end, but everything else was from the filming of Episode IV-VI...
Everything was behind glass of course, but most of the items were not against
walls so you could walk all the way around them... It all just seems so much
more real in person... :) I guess it is.
For those of you that missed out on it because it didn't come to your area, my
condolences. It really was the most amazing exhibit I've ever seen...
