It got me excited, too, when I saw it and was disappointed when I found out it was fake. It's a shame, really, maybe my acting major in college would have finally paid off. Heh.
We do have some stuff that would work for a Star Wars movie, I could see downtown working pretty well for Coronet, Corellia or another similar location. But we do have the problem of not having a sound stage or anything to promote filming movies here. It would certainly be cheaper and easier to go to a city that had a sound stage and other facilities...
