    Cleaning out my hard drive this afternoon and I came across these old 3D renderings. I used to work for an exhibit building company in Las Vegas, and at the time we were bidding on a project to build a Star Wars themed attraction, complete with museum displays, a full service cantina, restaurant, tour, replicas, props and memorabilia. These designs were done by a co-worker of mine (who I only know as "Moe"). We won the contract, but ultimatley funding fell through and it never came to fruition.It would have been quite the spectacle. If your familiar with the Mob Experince in Las Vegas at the Tropicana, we're the guys who built that from concept to completion (I designed most the signs and graphics!)
    I know this isn't really Episode 7 related, but i figured if I put it here, more people would be able to enjoy it!

    Pretty cool work on the attraction.

    Was their plans for a ride to go with it?

    Not so much a ride as an interactive tour. Like you could sit down in the cantina with Greedo and see who could "Shoot first", a VR lightsaber fight with vader, a race in lukes T-16. Well never really know for sure because all the fine detail was never fleshed out. This was all conceptual at the time.

    They decided to invest in a sports museum instead, they figured it would pull in more of a profit. We built "SCORE! Las Vegas" inside the Luxor Hotel instead. Same idea - an interactive museum with sports memorabilia, a live broadcast studio, etc.... There was a lot of nice work done from a professional standpoint, but It ultimately went belly up because it was just to gimmicky. Star Wars Cantina would definitely still be standing.

    Steroids are insignificant next to the power of the Force.. (dark)
    Sounds like the investors could have learned a thing or two from George Lucas: Star Wars is a guaranteed gravy train.

    Steriods for me should be banned from everything of a helping with performance rate, if you don't eat right & keep fit it's your choice.
