The room is a jam- packed maze of tables, counters and bars, with all the tapas symbols in place: hanging hams and sausages, ropes of garlic and peppers, and sides of dried salt codfish. Noise, music, tiles and fake Spanish paintings (a not- quite- Picasso Guernica here, a playful pseudo-Miro there) attract yuppies of all ages, who begin to line up at 6:30 every evening.

The creature shop is the birthplace for most of the monsters and other grotesques that populate Lucas' fantasyland, from the Rancor Pit monster in Return of the Jedi to the yet-to-beunveiled Howard...
