Lucasfilm Unveils "Sandcrawler" Singapore Office

An anonymous reader writes "The massive, slow moving Sandcrawlers from George Lucas' Star Wars films inspired the form of Lucasfilm's new regional headquarters in Singapore. Designed by Aedas, the Sandcrawler Building will house a 100 seat theater, Lucasfilm Singapore offices, a public podium and other employee spaces. Neither rusty nor slow moving in this case, the glassy and streamlined building will combine a high performance facade with lush gardens and foliage that spills over terraces, resulting in a highly efficient commercial space. With construction already underway, we can look forward to this real life Star Wars manifestation sometime in 2012."

    The guy made a great movie.

    Don't hate him because he didn't make another movie that matched your high standards.

    If your wife cooks you an amazing steak and gives you an amazing blow job, appreciate that she did that. Don't hate her because she didn't give you steak and lobster and a threesome the night after that.

    The problem is YOU and your ridiculous standards, not Lucas.

    Grow the fuck up, you ridiculous Star Wars fanboys.

    " (and don't start about it. Their country, their laws)"

    Fuck you and fuck this sentiment. It's especially retarded given that GP's whole point was that they have bullshit laws to make things look nice, and that you have to give up freedoms. If gum itself is illegal, yes, you would expect less gum in places. But that's a retarded thing to do, and proves his point nicely.
