It's fun when you can say you've been to a galaxy far far away and not that long long ago either. First of all there's that stunning resemblance the Jedi Library has to the Long Room in Trinity College's Old Library in Dublin. You can read all about it here. While we never made it inside when we visited the College back in January 2001, the exterior and courtyard looked amazing blanketed under a light dusting of snow:

Mr Lucas also decided to pay a quick trip to Seville while filming Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones. When Anakin and Padmé arrive on Naboo after going to hiding, their first port of call is the real life Plaza de España, built for the Iberian/American World's Fair in 1929:

It's a beautiful old building, set across a moat of sorts and surrounded by fantastic mosaics, each one representing a separate region of Spain. I managed to take a good look at most of them before the sweltering heat drove me to the shade once more ... an absolutely magical spot in the city and well worth your time if you're ever there.
