With the upcoming Star Wars filming in Dubrovnik, virtually around the corner, the locals are anxious to see exactly how will the film shoot affect their everyday routine. As we already announced, some of the locations mentioned for the filming are some of the city’s most attractive and most visited places – like the main street, Stradun, or Old City Port, and Rector’s Palace. This, of course, means they are widely used by the locals as well, but they’ve already gotten used to sharing their city with international productions.

However, these days Dubrovnik is not just revolving around movie industry. Mercedes Benz has been visiting Dubrovnik for a few weeks now and they’ll be here until mid-April while their „Mercedes Benz Global Training 2016“event is being held. The event will culminate with the European unveiling of their new E Class, just a few days after its Detroit World Premier. As reported by AutoStart.hr this event will bring in some 15000 Mercedes’ guests. In the meantime one cannot escape brand new Mercedes models (some 350 cars are said to have been brought in) cruising the streets of Dubrovnik.

Some of the cars have been displayed in the Old City historical district of Dubrovnik, with some taking their place in the spotlight on Stradun – the main street, and in front of the Rector’s Palace as well. Both of these have been marked as the filming locations for Star Wars Episode VIII, which is due during March, while Mercedes will still be in Dubrovnik. So, are we to see an epic fight between the two global players over who gets to stay in these locations? Probably no, they’ve more than likely already arranged what to do, but one can dream anyway. Who do you think would win?

Since Mercedes is here with their cars in the historical district already, and Star Wars production is more than likely already organised all the filming permits and shipping of their equipment, shouldn’t they just go ahead and make a Star Wars themed Mercedes E Class commercial in Dubrovnik?
