Thread: All the world's a stage! or the stage is a world...

Hi, I am the mayor of Terminal City, Naboo (on Eclipse), and one of my citizens wanted to decorate the stage of her theatre, but you can't drop items on the exterior sections of buildings, such as the stage or seating of the theatre, the roof terraces and balconies of houses and the PA hall.

These areas are surely made with decoration in mind.

Would the ability to decorate theatres promote a group of entertainers to stage a play? Decorating the stage could mean using things as props, like the large endor painting, or chairs and desks etc.? Is this something that would put some fun into the profession for you? Is it worth your profession rep suggesting it to the devs?

Thanks for your time

Those are all great ideas (the plays, etc.). People have complained about the player city theater since it came out: it's too small; you can't decorate it; and since it's outdoors, fatigue and wound healing don't work on it! At least it's only three lots (I think). These reasons combined are why more player cities don't have them, I believe. Which is a shame.


I hope they address the issues with the theater (a good idea with a bad design, in my opinion) at some point, but it doesn't seem like something that's on the Dev's radar at this point.

I was actually thinking of plays myself....But maybe you don't nessecarily have to perform them in a theatre. Maybe you could just drop the items to some place out in the streets of town. And if people try and steal some of the set, shoot 'em


But, just an idea...

Could always just hold the play in a "real" theater, in an NPC city.NPC theaters are probably my favorite building.The player theaters, just by their looks, I would never have guessed they were theaters, just by their looks. The stage just seems like some outdoor balcony. They should just be renamed Sniper Outposts or something, and then they should add REAL theaters.


Anyway, I had an idea for a play, doubt I'll ever do it. Since rebels are being blamed for the destruction of Alderaan in-game, why not go and adapt some scenes from the films, only twist them around so the Imperials are the "good guys?" It would be sort of funny. Personally, I'd want to rewrite the scene with Solo and Greedo (hell, Lucas did it), only THIS TIME GREEDO KICKS SOLO'S ASS! I'd also like to see the final battle between Obi Wan and Darth Vader staged(which would be pretty much impossible, but anyway).But in the game version, it becomes clear Vader won because he was wildly drunk on brandy and high off muon, and Obi Wan was sober and not wearing composite.
