Jedi Archives In Dublin Library?
bill_gates_jnr writes "When Attack of the clones came out many Dubliners thought that the Jedi Archives looked similar to a landmark in Dublin, the Long Room in Trinity College Dublin. The library administrator of TCD, Robin Adams has story written a letter to Lucasfilms suggesting the company should acknowledge a debt to the original architect Thomas Burgh. " I was in the Long Room a few years ago - it's a gorgeous room. But while we're acknowledge debts, perhaps Lucas can also acknowledge a more significant debt.
The Long Room in Trinity College Dublin. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
You mean Lucas borrows material from other people and does not credit them for it. I can't believe it. /naive
Speculation is the mother of evil.
Hm... or is that invention is the mother of necessity?
Damnit... ever since I became a Jedi Knight, all I can think about it duct tape.
It has a dark side and a light side, and it bind the universe together.

"This is not the library you are looking for. Move along."
Everyone will start to cheer when you put on your sailin' shoes.
I've felt a great disturbance in the force...
Like a million hits on a web server that cried out in pain and was suddenly silenced.
My first year calculus professor should be credited with inventing the absolutely annoying and incomprehensible language that Jar Jar speaks!
using System.Awesome;
Next you're going to tell us that Lucas stole the idea for Weirding Modules from the book.
to the Super Mario who have to find his way throw a dangerfield and save the princess...
This is the same story Lucas use in Episode IV.
Ceci n'est pas une Signature !
good job slashdotting the picture of the Long Room! Ireland's getting SLAMMED !!
Now that Ireland has no more net access, perhaps they could do something different, such as go for drinks or have a large fight at a soccer game.
Trolling is a art,
After all, the AT&T logo looks like the DeathStar...
The descendants of Edison because of similarities between the saber and the common light bulb, the Ford corporation for Lucas' use of the flying car, and Ziggy Marley for George's obvious portrayal of his dad Bob.
I'll form my OWN solar system! With blackjack! And hookers!
the hardcore fans are all geeks!
Anything you say will be held against you.

We did not clone the Dublin Libraries for the movie, and no we do not have overdue late charges on "Scottish Clans and Tartans".

Both of them stole from Mimas, one of Saturn's moons!

Throw a Dangerfield to save the princess? No respect at all. No respect I tell ya.
An article, about a college that wants George Lucas to credit an architect, whose work has been changed and remodeled several times, for inspiration creating a scene in a movie that half the people who saw it can hardly remember.
.
And the article is brought to us by : bill_gates_jnr
I can predict next weeks article: State of Utah demands Lucas credit God for use of "desert motif" in Tatooine scenes of Star Wars.

Man, I was born too early. When I was growing up, I was just a bookworm.
Go ahead, mod me down. That alone will be far more interesting than this wee SlashBit.

If you have the time and will, you can draw similarities between the Spice Girls movie and Dune.
*gasp* they are both about Spice. woooo....

That's how they'll get him. Al Capone was brought down by the IRS for tax evasion. The MPAA will take down Osama for ripping off the idea that they ripped off first.
This is America, damnit. Speak Spanish!
Thinking of it, the only thing that saves Linus from a "Cease and Desist" letter by LucasFilm is the lack of a princess to save.
