San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee is offering George Lucas a spot on the city’s scenic waterfront for the future home of the Star Wars creator’s lifetime collection of art and movie memorabilia.
In a letter sent to Lucas Thursday, Lee proposes building the Lucas Cultural Arts Museum on a 2.3-acre site known as Seawall Lot 330. The letter was shared with the Associated Press by Lee’s spokeswoman Christine Falvey.
Lee had given his staff until the end of May to come up with a list of possible locations for the museum because of increasing interest from other cities, particularly Chicago.
Raised in Modesto, Lucas has said he doesn’t have enough wall space at his 6,000-acre Skywalker Ranch in Marin County, and he intends to invest up to $300 million of his money with another $400 million endowment upon his death.
David Perry, Lucas’s spokesman, didn’t immediately return messages requesting comment.
