methaporical foundation For most Star Wars fans an exhibition entitled "Star Wars: The Magic of Myth" featuring original artwork props, models, costumes and characters from the all four Star Wars films is certainly enough to make hearts start pounding.

But the Brooklyn Museum of Art, anxious to give this traveling exhibition, first developed by the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum, a FIRMER BASE in culture and history, has added approximately 25 objects
from its comprehensive collection. These objects examine how diverse cultures have interpreted the heroic journey throughout time.

Organized by Richard Fazzini, chair of the Department of Egyptian, Classical and Ancient Middle Eastern Art, this mini-exhibition, "The Myth of the Hero and Heroine," shows women as warriors and leaders (a Greek vessel from the fourth century B.C. featuring Amazon women), the role of the dragon in mythology (Jason Defeats the Dragon, an etching by Salvatore Rosa [1615-1673]) and the Faustian origins of Darth Vader (Faust in His Study, an etching by Rembrandt [1606-1669]).

Please give us more context because "base" does not appear to go with "Museum" and we need to see the rest of the context so we can see what it goes with -- in particular, we need to know if it's a physical base or a metaphorical foundation
