If it's meant to be a representation of a working studio(I know they hardly film anything there anymore, hence my assumption that maybe nowadays it's a "representation of a working studio"), why do we suddenly go from studio buildings to a giant Imperial Walker? That place is just a mess and completely typifies how Eisner panicked when he found out Uni was coming to Orlando and just wanted ANYTHING in place, regardless how lame it was, to compete.
