For Star Wars land.....IMO they look like something for the First Order...

Imagine that.

Good to see TDO is winning you over.

Other people have stated it will more closely resemble this

If that's what you surmise from what I posted you missed the point by a mile.

I could be wrong, but the columns look like they are made to be a part of an Art Deco transition.

Agree.

Photo update as of Sunday, July 9. A larger view of the columns and accompanying wall. (I wish the video projection towers in front of the Chinese Theatre had this kind of Art Deco detail.)

More rebar as work continues at the boundary of Star Wars land near Muppets Courtyard.

@marni1971, are you sure there is going to be something separating Muppets from the street? I just think they would have seem something of that by now.

I'm pretty sure they demolished the wall...

Yes, but Martin has said a new one would be built.

Yes. I'm expecting a low brick wall that rises to be higher towards two large brick "gate posts" (no gates). The wall will be as low as maybe 2ft and the posts around 12-15 ft high. Separating the wall from the old SOA tarmac as it were will be grass, landscaping and trees. In fact, trees should line the sidewalks either side of the tarmac -there will still be a "road" setting - the whole area should be like a little park in the middle of a city.

Like a courtyard

Yes. The open aspect through to the SOA facade from the fountain area should give it kinetic and depth. To sound all posh-like.
