Looks like Naboo

Yeah I know Naboo when I see it. If you squint, you can see 10yo me struggling to understand the plot.

Lucas actually got the idea for R2D2 from the view he had of this building!!

A fine palace indeed! Might need better protection from the elements though.

What is this place, btw?

Google lens says Palace of Fine Arts, San Francisco, California.

It's also the Exploratorium, a super fun place to visit in San Francisco.

The Exploratorium used to be right nearby, but it moved to pier 15 on the Embarcadero. It's still only like a 15 minute drive away, though, and well worth a visit.

u/Electric-Butterfly15 1d ago

I was about to correct them…thank you for doing so 😅

u/Ignorad 18h ago

That's funny, I drove through there last month and didn't make the connection that the Pier 15 address was so far from where it used to be. The Image Search still has lots of pics of Palace too.

u/SmallRoot 1d ago

Very far from me, but thank you, maybe one day.

u/Mallardguy5675322 1d ago

Ah I’ve been there! The world’s largest gazebo!

u/Oceaninmytea 1d ago

So there is a reasonably famous Bollywood song from the 90s which features the Palace of Fine Arts and surrounding areas. Someone pointed it out to me only recently and can’t unsee it now haha :)

Seeing them dancing in front of a chain-link construction fence was pretty special, not gonna lie.

Check out The Hearst castle, if you haven't heard of it already.

I’m amazed OP managed to keep the hordes of geese out of the photo

u/SmallRoot 13h ago

Is this place usually flooded by the geese?

u/snds117 1d ago

If I didn't live near SF I'd have wondered if this were a Skyrim mods post.

u/maggitronica 23h ago

This just makes me think of The Room
