In his dogged quest to construct the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, it seems filmmaker and Star Wars creator George Lucas has finally found a home. Throughout the previous months, the board had entertained building the museum in either San Francisco or Los Angeles. Lucas and his wife will provide an investment of $1 billion, which they say will include art Lucas owns and a $400 million endowment. There will be Star Wars memorabilia, of course, such as the prop mask worn by David Prowse, who played Darth Vader in the original Star Wars trilogy. The San Francisco proposal would have required visitors to traverse to an island in the San Francisco Bay via a bridge or ferry.
