Deathstar

evilplatypus

Has any other UIC alum ever heard the legend about the original deathstar model used in Star Wars I is somewhere in the architecture building? Its existence on campus hasnt been confirmed but there was an early electronic graphics lab there in the late 70's & early 80's. Can anyone confirm?

as a star wars fanatic. I would like to point out that you mean Star Wars IV: A New Hope, and not Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace...

Thanks - you are correct sir. I was into an argument about this deathstar models existence last night and its time to settle this urban myth once and for all.

Bill - Thanks. We can put this myth to rest now. Sad for UIC though.

i thought it was swartzenegger that endorsed howard sterns plan to blow up the moon

yes, archinect should change their motto to "Archinect: Its Like a Giant Deathstar of Knowledge"

No way, that should be the theme for the next T-shirt design that Paul puts out.
