New Lucasfilm Campus Breaks Ground at Presidio

GuyMannDude writes "Lucasfilm has broken ground on the new $300 million special effects campus that he hopes will help San Francisco rival Hollywood as a producer of movie magic. Some see the project as a way for the Presidio (a national park) to become economically self-sufficient while critics claim that level of commercialization is unnecessary."

    Is this 'Stuff that Matter'? Will this step turn Lucasfilm around and they'll start making good movies instead of soulless effects strangled tripe?

    It will be pretty negative. San Francisco will be known for making over hyped movies written by talentless megalomaniacs. Then Lucas will blame the city and leave, thinking he's nearly godlike and it's the rest of the world that's all messed up.
