Death Star Hotel

 
Death Star Hotel
Looks like they are planning to build a hotel that looks a lot like the Death Star - but looks very different from the back and side - more pics at Gizmodo.
Speaking of Death Star - a huge Lego one being built below.
Thanks to member FatB for sending this in.

This looks so much closer to the real thing. Now, if it was just painted matte gray....

This is how they had to design it so it didnt have the catastrophic flaw in it that Luke took advantage of.

They will most likely get a ton of attention from tourists who love star wars, and people in general who love star wars.  I imagine they will make bank off this little project...

That is seriously impressive (both the lego and the hotel)!

Ive been really tempted to buy some lego star wars recently as ive been playing the game loads (its superb) and i have a yearning for lego nostalgia. But which to get though... The X-wing or the At-ST?


Thanks for the vid anyway

and if some member of the staff messes up, it would be a real scene if he started force-gripping him...
