Star Wars creator George Lucas keeps props from his blockbusters at a secret warehouse location on his Skywalker Ranch estate in Marin County, California. Few people have been admitted to the movie treasure trove, but actor/director Jon Favreau was given a rare guided tour while he was editing Iron Man in Lucas' state-of-the-art film suites.

The Swingers star says, "I'd heard rumors about (it). George Lucas has always kept all the props and everything from all his movies— Raiders of The Lost Ark, all the Star Wars films; and I kept hinting for the two weeks I was there to be able to see the stuff and finally I got the nod, the secret invitation. The warehouse (is) hidden away in this big piece of property, and you're walking around and, like, R2-D2's there and C-3PO... and the actual Ark of the Covenant with the Ten Commandments in it— the idol from Indiana Jones.

"You're just running around, smacking your ass. You're just like a kid in a candy store. They have real museum curators there and I don't think when they're studying art and museum curating... they're picturing a bunch of fanboys coming in (and) drooling all over props from movies."
