    A short time ago, in a city not far away, Star Wars creator George Lucas decided to build a museum to house his movie memorabilia and his art collection.

    There's just one looming question: Where should it go?

    Lucas says he'll spend $300 million of his own money to build the proposed Lucas Cultural Arts Museum and will provide a $400 million endowment after his death. In addition to holding Skywalker artifacts galore, the museum would also host Lucas' private art collection, featuring works by Norman Rockwell and N.C. Wyeth, among others.

    But after Lucas' original planned location fell through, it's not clear where the museum will be located. San Francisco and Chicago are both trying to win the right to host the museum, and Los Angeles just entered the fray as well.

    They should put it by that Northern California Redwood forest where they filmed Jedi and make it look like that- maybe a couple of AT-STs outside.

    Have the entrance look like the bunker!

    I think it should be built in Modesto CA, which is where Lucas grew up and made his first films up to American Graffiti. SF isn't that far away, and ILM is now based there. I think LA would be a bad idea - Lucas hasn't really been part of "Hollywood" at any stage of his career.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.
