The Jedi Archives look rather familiar for something out of a galaxy far, far away.
When Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones first hit theaters back in May 2002, fans were eager to see what George Lucas would do with his second installment in the prequel trilogy. Although reviews were ultimately lukewarm, it was exciting to see Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi finally fight alongside each other, the fabled Clone Wars break out on-screen, and characters explore new planets and places in the galaxy far, far away.
Anyone familiar with the immaculate Long Room would have recognized its likeness immediately in Attack of the Clones when Obi-Wan visits the Jedi Archives to retrieve information on the missing planet of Kamino.
According to IrishArchitecture.com, which weighed in on the situation back in 2002, "The similarities are obvious, from the arched barrel vault running the length of the room to the double-height book stacks. Even the busts and statuary of the Jedi Archive mirror the busts of figures from the academic world in the Long Room.
Since Attack of the Clones, the Jedi Archives has reappeared in both Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Tales of the Jedi. In both of the animated shows, the Archives has retained its similarities to the Long Room. Despite this, the University has never raised further grievances with Lucasfilm, which has since been acquired by Disney. Meanwhile, the Library has served as a legitimate filming location for various projects since 2002, most recently appearing in Season 1 of Foundation on Apple TV+.
