Episode Description

This week on the Skytalkers, we’re diving deep into the unique set up of the Lucasfilm corporate offices within a national park, the Presidio, in San Francisco. Resident architectural historian Caitlin will discuss the environmental laws and public policy that make this possible. Tune into to hear all about:


  • The history of the Presidio as a military base turned national park within the larger Golden Gate National Recreational Area and its environmental laws. 
  • How George Lucas proposes his company to build on the Presidio. 
  • What did the public think of George’s bid to build in the Presidio in 1999? 
  • George Lucas’s initial concepts for his museum and what the public loved and hated about it. 
  • …all this and more!
