Steve Sansweet
(USA) has amassed
an estimated 500,000
unique items at
Rancho Obi-Wan in
northern California,
USA. As of 4 May
2015, “only” 93,260
items had been
accurately audited
and catalogued – a
number sufficient,
however, to beat the
previous holder of
this title by a factor
of four. Sansweet estimates that the cataloguing process will
take years to complete, as his collection continues to grow.
Steve took part in an epic photoshoot for Guinness World
Records at Rancho Obi-Wan. As we were setting up, he talked
about his love for the Star Wars saga:
Why are you such a big fan of the movies?
The movies are great fun, the effects still hold up decades
later, the characters stand out, and in the battle between
good and evil—between the powerful and the seemingly
powerless—the good guys win!
Why did you start collecting?
I’ve always been a collector of something—from baseball
cards and bottle caps to comic books. I also developed a
strong love for science fiction and fantasy through reading
when I was young, so my two passions merged.
What’s the most expensive item?
Probably a Darth Vader costume, parts of which were used in
the filming of Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back, and as
an official “appearance” costume.
