Hello all

I am really interested in your discussion. Sorry for my English I am French.

I am not that much architecture fan, but I am a Star Wars enthusiast.

About the current case, I don’t know about the current state of copyright for artistic buildings, and on my opinion (I am totally candid about that), the building is very old, and seems to be really great, and it may expects more tourists in the next years.

On the Star Wars level, I bought a book for my brother about the design in Episode II, it’s off course a LucasFilm books, but it’s, if I remember well, clearly written that the main inspiration for the Jedi Archives, was the Trinity College’s Library. It’s a big and heavy books with hundreds of pictures inside.

Moreover here is what I found about on the above mentionned StarWars web site :

The stately architecture and vaulted ceilings of the Jedi Archives Room were inspired by a variety of real-world libraries, including the Vatican and those found in old English estates. A bare minimum of the set was constructed — only Kenobi’s immediate work area and several busts were constructed. The majority of the scenery — the rows and rows of holobooks and high ceilings — were realized as miniatures.

I am sorry but I don’t remember the name of the book, it’s may be: The Art of Attack of the Clones.

Bye and thanks for reading 🙂
