"The above image is a shot of the Long Room Library, Trinity College of Dublin. Or is it? Actually it's not, it's an image of the Jedi Archives in the most recent episode of the Star Wars series, Episode II: Attack of the Clones.
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.
The similarity was first mentioned in March this year when an online cinema enthusiast site Cinescape.com produced an article on the then upcoming movie. They stated "As it turns out, the Jedi Archive/Library is an almost exact replica of one of the finest libraries in the world - The Old Library of Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland."
