LEGO City 2 - Boba's Fête Night Club

 

 

Boba's Fête is the hottest club in town.  It is designed to immerse the party-goer inside a fully believable Star Wars universe.

Modeled after an Ewok tree village, the building sports 2 floors of dancing, drinking and all-out fun.

Above the two main floors is the "tree tower." This structure serves primarily as an advertising beacon.  However, it also houses much of the mechanical and computer systems needed to run the attractions below.

All employees are dressed in Star Wars attire, and all patrons must also dress accordingly.  Any customers not conforming to these rules are refused admission.

See below for more shots and descriptions of activities in the club.

 

 
The first floor sports the "Beat up Jar-Jar game" where visitors are allowed to take pot-shots at a mock-up of Jar-Jar Binks.  When hit, Jar Jar mutters some silly saying from the movie and flails his arms around wildly.  Some customers (like the one to the right of Jar Jar) take things a bit farther by using a mockup light-saber instead of their fist!

Another first floor game is called "Save Han Solo."  Han is encased in carbonite right next to the entrance.  A series of controls on the side can be used to attempt to free him.  Successful rescuers win a free drink at the bar.  However, if the wrong sequence is pressed, Jaba the Hut's voice booms over the intercom and the customer is promptly escorted out of the club.  These customers are not allowed to re-enter until the next evening.  Getting the correct sequence is similar to playing a video game and the computer algorithms are changed on a nightly basis.  A surprising number of folks are willing to risk getting kicked out for the potential of a free drink.

The second floor supports an open dancing area.  However, more and more of the dancing area has recently been taken over by mock-light-saber duels.  A master duelist is dressed as Darth Maul.  So far, no customers have been able to best him. 

  

 
 

 

 Boba himself can be seen checking out the action on the upper left of the picture.  His true identity remains a mystery.  Despite his heavy costume, Boba often dances the night away for hours on end.  There are rumors that the costume includes a built-in air conditioner to support this sort of activity.

When Boba's Fête was originally built, it was bordered by an empty lot.  However, since that time, the huge, sprawling Bu-Ra-Do business complex has been constructed.  The Bu-Ra-Do towers are so large that the club looks tiny and unimpressive in comparison.  This is said to irritate "Boba," and he often sends Darth Maul and other "rough-and-tough" employees over to attack the ninja-garbed employees at the Bu-Ra-Do building.  Suspiciously enough, nobody ever gets hurt in these mêlées, and the police, vigilant as they are, never show up.  Even more suspicious, TV crews are always on hand.  It is rumored that Boba has an "arrangement" with the Bu-Ra-Do building to stage these little fights in the hopes of gaining publicity.
