Yep, best thread ever. You may want to bookmark this one.
I know three places that look like Star Wars and I'll put one up now. This is the Matenadaran in Yerevan, Armenia. Those stone guys would fit in perfectly in front of the Jedi temple:

Sorry man, I respect you as a person, your taste in music, your brand of deodorant - but Star Wars is total crap. I'll have nothing to do with it. |

There is no "Jedi Temple" in Star Wars... unless you mean those 3 cheap basically-fan-fiction flicks they made in the past couple years.
My home town in Maine occasionally looks like Hoth, and my mother's flock of sheep can resemble ton-tons if I squint just right... but I was never caught by a snow monster. |

Oh, that reminds me, I'm envious of Ewan McGregor.

As a result of his training for the Star Wars films, McGregor has become an excellent swordsman. |
Playing Obi-wan in three movies, making a few millions and becoming an excellent swordsman as an added perk is just about the best short-term position I can think of. |
