A Mobile Super Star City?

A traveling China town? I didn’t know that LA was mobile. He he.

OK, enough of my lame humor. I had to double take when I saw this crazy, yet cool design for China’s Mobile Super Star City. It’s like the Starship Enterprise, but with tentacles, razors or whatever you want to call them.

China apparently is underway on this project, which it intends to launch to cities around the world in an effort to “inject the energy of China into the world.” Hmm, could inject be a nice way of saying “take over the world”? And why the name “Super Star”? Oh that’s right, because Death Star was already taken.

Anyways, if this thing were to really come to life, it will be an amazing architecture accomplishment. Each spike serves a purpose, such as an “Olympic Center” where Chinese Olympians can live and train every four years, a living quarters spike, hospital and even a cemetery.  I can’t wait for them to have the slogan, “come aboard and die with us!” If that doesn’t sound like a cult, I don’t know what does.

I can handle this new breakthrough, but if I start seeing Klingons jumping out of this thing and Will Smith flying a fighter jet, then I know the world has gone mad.

Yes, that hotel strangely resembles the Death Star and no, your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you.

Heerim architects are looking to build the Star Wars staple in, of all places, Baku, Azerbaijan. They’re hoping to bring this design, called the Hotel Full Moon, and another, the Hotel Crescent, to one of the fastest growing economies and will rightly call the area Full Moon Bay.

I personally just think it’s a cover up for things to come and I’m taking the proper precautions.

The last time someone planned to build a Death Star, there was a little guy named Anakin walking around claiming to bring a balance in the force. And well, we all know how that one turned out.

If anyone needs me, I’ll be in a bunker in Iceland rounding up Wookies and Ewoks.

May the Force be with you.
