Oma Cinema has unveiled a new, futuristic movie theater design that is set to launch in Paris, France next year – however, it looks like something straight out of a Star Wars movie.

 

The design for the cinema, drawn up by architect Pierre Chican before the pandemic, is still under-construction promises “a new era of movie theater” and is now seen as a possible way to bring proper coronavirus social distancing guidelines to movie-watching as the seats are attached in small pods on the wall, rather than in rows along the floor.

 

Twitter users quickly began drawing a comparison between the unveiled designs as the Galactic Senate seen in the Star Wars prequels.

 

The Galactic Senate was a big part of the prequel trilogy, as first witnessed in The Phantom Menace.
