Of course, this is all some PR puff for Abu Dhabi, and a reminder that its deserts played Jakku in The Force Awakens. Nevertheless, you can't doubt the effort. It's 100 metres tall and has a surface area of 17,000 metres squared. That's a little smaller than the real planet-sized version, but pretty impressive nonetheless.
