Arrow Star Wars Home Theater

In “Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith,” Chancellor Palpatine invites Jedi warrior Anakin Skywalker into his impressive office overlooking the capital Galactic City. Home theater owner Steve Simon had a pivotal moment as well, though his likely didn’t involve Jedi forces and dark sides. Simon wanted to convert part of his garage into a home theater, and he thought he’d decorate it with the Star Wars memorabilia he had collected over the years.

It isn't entirely gaudy, but I still don't like it. It looks more Star TREK than Star Wars to me. Maybe the red is just a bit too red for my tastes.

Very nice. I like it. This one made me remember the Star Trek Theather. That one was a real stunner.

I don't see much in there that suggests Star Wars to me. He says in the article that he collect Star Wars memorabilia, yet there's not one piece in the theater.

He didn't say that he would decorate with Star Wars memorabilia, he said "he thought he’d decorate it with the Star Wars memorabilia" looks like he only came to thinking and not doing....
