A long time ago... On an island far, far away... Who would've guessed that there would be a store dedicated to Star Wars and movies in the middle of the Caribbean? Nick Maley (the original Yoda puppet designer) is the proprietor and was there the day we stopped by. He was so genuine, nice and hospitable. His wife was equally... More

In the world of cruise ship duty-free chaos, it was wonderful to find such an authentic experience. Meeting Nick and exploring his burgeoning personal and professional collection was incredible. Fun for fans and kids of any age! More

What a great and fun experience to see and talk to Nick about his work which is certainly a piece of movie history. Absolute and highly recommended for anyone who has any interest in Star Wars. More

We stop at the shop everytime we are in St Martin. We have bought Nicks maps of the Caribbean to remind us of great times with friends and family. The Movie stuff is cool, but the art work is fantasitc. Nick and his wife are great hosts and their store manager is a sweet heart. Can't wait for our next... More

It was a pleasure meeting Nick & seeing all of his work. My 12 year old son absolutely loves Star Wars, so he was amazed to meet the guy behind the scenes & to see all of his other works in Hollywood. He was so proud to get an autographed picture of Luke & Yoda! More

We were on the island while on a cruise and it was recommended that we stop by "That Yoda Guy"'s shop. Being Star Wars fans (and having 3 sons who are "trekkies" and SW fans, as well) we had to see what the exhibit was all about. What a find!!! Nick Maley is a true artist in every sense of... More

Situated in a street full of jewellery stores, planet paradise is a standout gem. Unique gifts and a surprising, insightful and insipring museum full of insider knowledge on classic sci-fi movies makes this a must visit location on St. Marteen. More

We were in St Maarten on a cruise and sought out Nick's place as a way to end our day on the island. After snorkeling/swimming/sunning/endless chatski shopping, Nick's store was a welcome respite, especially for the sci-fi oriented amongst us. We easily spent almost two hours exploring the exhibits thoroughly and chatting with the man himself. He's a very personable... More

Nick, the man who was partly responsible for creating Yoda for the Star Wars film series, settled in St. Martin and opened a gallery and small museum dedicated largely to physical special effects artists. It doesn't take too much time to go through, and you'll like it best if you have a geeky interest in this subject. More
