Dubai Death Star

The design for the RAK Convention and Exhibition Centre in Dubai the United Arab Emirates looks kind of familiar, don’t you think?

    Hopefully they won’t put the small thermal exhaust port right below the main port…

    Don’t be too proud of this convention center you’ve
    constructed. The ability to host thousands while offering every modern amenity is insignificant next to the power of the Force.

    Although I am impressed with the monstrous creations Dubai builds I do believe they are a scar on the environment. Hopefully they will not need to create an island for this project…

    Geez all you Geeks think about is Star Wars, huh?

    So, it’s a fricking SPHERE. Like a planet. Golf ball. Tennis ball. Football. Basketball. BIG DEAL.

    Grow up.

    RAK (ras Al khamaih) is actually not in Dubai, but is another emirate of the United Arab Emirates
