Welcome weary travelers!

We've been kicked around the corner, we've been known by different names but it's time to reopen the Octagon Bar!

...Stop in for a coffee or tea in the morning, bring your newspaper and sit in our soft leather couches. For lunch, come in and have a cocktail. Your boss will never know. When work is over, stop in for Happy Hour; you can be assured that your presence will not go unnoticed. Late nights are the best and the most wicked; the patrons are a frisky lot, but always friendly.

The Octagon Bar is located on the first floor of the Clarence Hotel in Dublin, Ireland. U2 are part owners of this magnificent watering hole and we seek to reproduce the camaraderie of a pub, complete with bar fights, dancing girls, and moderators who shut us down when the noise or the post count gets too high.

May I suggest that you order a drink, ask one of the lovelies or one of the gents for a , or perhaps you want to play a song on the jukebox. Share pictures of your kids and yourselves. Don’t be shy--by morning we’ll forget your face anyway.

This is a patron-run bar, so if the bartender is asleep in the back, or cuddled up on the couch with one of the patrons, go and pour a drink for your mate. The drink selection is only limited by your imagination. So dream out loud!

And, yes, Lucas gives almost all characters a name. Helps to sell the toys.

Yeah, I read an article that pointed out that the Ewoks are never specified by name in the movie, yet... everyone knows what an Ewok is.

He was very smart in locking up the merchandising before the movies ever came out. I love the original trilogy, am disappointed in the 2nd set, but my hats off to the empire he built with THX and ILM being the standard bearers in their respective fields. :applaud:

You know, my nick is a combination of Star Wars and U2 = StarsforU2. :yes:

What? You didn't think I was nutty about just U2? No, I've been a collector all of my life (albeit a very organized one), you should see my baseball card collection. $$$
