Looking for all the world like an iconic Sandcrawler vessel from the Star Wars franchise, the Sandcrawler Building in Singapore, destined to be a future architectural landmark, will house LucasFilm's regional headquarters, a public podium and a hundred-seat theater.
Architectural tourists and Lucas fans will be thrilled to know that a large swathe of the building will be open to the public, such as the 24-hour public podium set on a granite base and surrounded by lush greenery, and the massive, state-of-the-art theater, which will be used to host film premieres and conferences.
In Singapore, George Lucas had someone
design and construct an office complex
that from the side looks like a Sandcrawler
from Episode Four of the Star Wars films.
Once I was checking in to a hotel
and I heard a voice across the lobby
yell over the business talk, “Hey, Star Wars!”
I couldn’t believe my ears but I thought
I recognized the voice. I turned around.
Somebody I knew was running over
to say a group of people were going
to a nearby neighborhood theater
to see Episode Four in re-release
and they knew I wouldn’t want to miss it.
I looked from my suitcase to the desk clerk.
She told me someone could take my suitcase
up to my room for me if I wanted
to go off right away and watch Star Wars.

Hardly a day goes by without something
happening where I don’t believe my ears
or I don’t believe my eyes. I seem to
move through these episodes of disbelief
without taking them to heart (or to mind)
and questioning the concept of belief.
If somebody looked at me from the side
I think I’d look like a badly written
movie character who ignores the plot
of the movie playing out around him.
Sometimes I get so lost in fantasy
when I look at the real world around me
I don’t believe I know what to believe.
