Video: Frankfurt Airport Turned into an Imperial Starport

In what's reported to be leaked video footage from JJ Abrams' Star Wars Episode VII, you can see Frankfurt airport transformed into an imperial starport.



Video link: http://youtu.be/Snph22qSUMU

I've seen a few different sources question the video's authenticity, but I think that Star Wars fans may enjoy the video anyway.

Looks fake to me, but I still enjoyed it! Fun to see what FRA could look like.

Loves the "Fly casual" atmoshpere

A: Somebody has way too much time on their hands.

B: That is one of the coolest videos ever. Loved the "fly casual" atmosphere. No funny sound effects, just normal background noise. No weird aliens.

Two big ^!

And I thought it was something about LH and its *A cohorts turning FRA into more of a fortress hub.
