George Lucas Selects Chicago For the Star Wars Museum

Posted by Soulskill on from the put-it-in-millenium-falcon-park dept.

netringer writes: George Lucas has selected Chicago over Los Angeles and San Francisco as the future home of The Lucas Museum of Narrative Arts, housing his collection of Star Wars art and movie memorabilia along with exhibits of the technology of Industrial Light and Magic (ILM). Where else but on the Chicago Lakefront will be it easy to recreate the ice planet of Hoth?

    '2012 A Space Odyssey' probably still feels fresh to you because it was only two years ago.

    And Han shot first, because I was there when he did it, and I saw him do it.

    You can't be ahead of the curve, if you're stuck in a loop.
