Scott:
LEGO finally gets it right!
Scockery:
Toy model of Jabba The Hutt's palace resembles a mosque, group says
So many things absurd here.
1. Based on a movie, not any real structure.
2. The Hagia Sophia mentioned as a "mosque" was built as a Byzantine Eastern Orthodox Christian basilica and remained one for 1000 years until the Turks conquered Constantinople, enslaved most of its population and desecrated someone else's house of worship...am I being culturally insensitive by mentioning actual history?
3. Jabba the Hutt isn't muslim or of any earthly faith.
4. It's a freaking space fantasy toy.
Pete_Fett:
Admittedly, I didn't click into any of the related links from the story, but are we sure this isn't an April Fools joke?
Seems ridiculous to me, is Lucasfilm going to have to change the look of Jabba's palace in the movie now?
Scockery:
You might think that, as it was written by "Carlo Angerer".
But it's not an April Fools joke. This story originally broke a couple of months ago. Lego just now decided it was not worth the aggrevation.
Anyway, Lego was discontinuing the set after this year, as they often do. Just wonder if it become some "scarce" collector's item because of this.
