ILM 으로도 부족해서 하나더 짓는 군요. 자기집 샌프란시스코 금문교근처에 3억불 (3천3백억이상)을 들여서 할리우드와 경쟁하겠다는 속셈. 센터이름은 Letterman Digital Arts Center at the Presidio.
새로운 스타워즈(3편)는 2005년에 나온답니다.

Lucas eyes Hollywood crown
Lucas (second right) wants to boost the city's reputation
George Lucas hopes a special effects campus he is building for his Lucasfilm studio near San Francisco will eventually help the city rival Hollywood.
Lucas, the creator of the Star Wars trilogies, was at the ground-breaking ceremony for the $300m (£187.6m) special effects site on Saturday.
The director hopes it will help put San Francisco on the map as a major movie production area.
"San Francisco's always had a quality of film-making that most people haven't been able to recognise, we always get shoved under the title 'Hollywood'," Lucas said.
"I think this will begin to put a stake in the ground for San Francisco as a film-making community, as a creator of world cinema," he added.

The complex, which is close to the Golden Gate Bridge, will be known as the Letterman Digital Arts Center at the Presidio.
It will cover 76,500-square-metres and will house 2,500 new workers when it is completed in 2005.
Nearby residents, however, have complained about the contruction work taking place in the Presidio national park.
Last Star Wars
Lucas is currently making the third and final prequel to his first Star Wars film, which is due for release in 2005.
He has vowed the film will be the last of the Star Wars films, and has said he wants to work on other projects.
In between the last original Star Wars film, 1983's Return Of The Jedi and 1999's The Phantom Menace, Lucas produced rather than directed films.
He owns a special effects company called Industrial Light & Magic, which has created visual effects for many Hollywood blockbusters.
The THX sound system, also invented by Lucas' studio, has been used to improve sound quality in cinemas.
Lucas's home, Skywalker Ranch, is also near San Francisco.
