The impressive collection of action figures, ships, and playsets is the lifetime work of Jarrod Roll, a Star Wars enthusiast and museum curator from Onalaska, Wisconsin. Roll currently serves as the director of the Monroe County Local History Room and Museum in Sparta. You can learn more about Jarrod's exhibit by visiting: www.starwarsexhibit.org/.
