Lucas Building Special Effects Campus

"Star Wars" creator George Lucas hopes a $300 million special effects campus for his film company will help San Francisco rival Hollywood as a producer of movie magic. "San Francisco's always had a quality of filmmaking that most people haven't been able to recognize, we always get shoved under the title 'Hollywood,'" Lucas said Saturday at the project's groundbreaking.

"I think this will begin to put a stake in the ground for San Francisco as a filmmaking community, as a creator of world cinema."
