Game and Story Use

• In a suitably campy or silly campaign, this might actually end up being the lair of a supervillain.
  • The ability to levitate and fire off a city-destroying laser to hold the world hostage is purely optional. But hey, why wouldn't you want this ability?
• Perhaps this building has been planned in this form to channel the psychic energies of millions of Star Wars fans - which will give the building vast power.
  • Perhaps it will even suck the souls of the fans dry upon its "activation".
    • "I feel a great disturbance in the Force. As if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced…"
• In a more gritty Twenty Minutes Into The Future or Cyberpunk campaign, this building will still make for some impressive terrain in a fight or action scene.
