BMW Headquarters, Munich, Germany 1972. Arch. Karl Schwanzer.
Death Star concept art by Ralph McQuarrie. As you can see, the Millennium Falcon originally looked like what would later become Leia’s Tantive IV.
The last image was pretty literally translated to the screen.

Subway Reading Scott Rogowsky
Comedian Scott Rogowsky is a real bookworm, particularly for books no one would dare be seen reading in public.
To the surprise of fellow New York City subway passengers, Rogowsky breezed through a litany of fake books on his commute, including the titles shown above and a couple of other NSFW titles that you can see in the video.
As you would expect, his fellow passengers cannot believe these books exist, let alone that someone would read them on the train.
