What happens when Darth Vader has too much time and money?

Deathstar Home Theater

Automatically opening doors:

Fibre optic stars:

Walkway to entrance:

Han Solo:

Sheesh. That guy spent more on his basement than most people do on their entire house.

Sheesh, had to get doug chiang to design it. . . wonder how much he charged.

It's cool, but one thought kept popping into my head: "what a pain it would be to clean that place!"

To me the place is just ugly.
I would feel I'm on the Solaris orbit and George Clooney right around the corner.

Meridian speaker system nice to have though.

A buddy of mine had his basement modeled after stargate with a 12 ft screen. Can't say I wouldn't do something like this if I had the money.

It's all about the FORCE.

The photos don't really give you a good idea of how large this setup is. You can see the entrance to the home theater room in the top center photo. (It's guarded by the golden statue out front.)

I wish I had the money to do something like that. I'm not sure which movie I'd model it after, though.

I want one! Waaaaaaah! That is so fricken cool!
