Olive branch? Lucas donates property to San Anselmo Chamber of Commerce, who will build a park with bronze statues of Indy and Yoda.

I think something simpler is at work: He's committed now to the Presidio and he's just cutting assets previously acquired for his now abandoned development plans.

I found this whole Brady Ranch opposition affair fascinating and am always amazed at the stupidity of rich people.

As an aside, Lucas abandoning his plans and opting for low income housing could be used to support those far-out theories that Lucas uses his sequels to diminish his franchises rather than be beholden to legions of fanboys.

George Lucas to build park with statues of Yoda and Indiana Jones

George Lucas moves ahead on plans to build park for statues of Yoda, Indiana Jones in San Anselmo.

Filmmaker George Lucas Wednesday filed for a permit to demolish a building in downtown San Anselmo to make way for a small new park that will become the permanent home of two bronze statues of his popular characters Indiana Jones and Yoda.

Article:

San Anselmo is located in California's Marin County, north of San Francisco.

A park sounds nice.

Not so sure about the statues though.

At least it won't be a statue of a naked George Lucas riding a turtle.

The bust of Harrison in hat reminds me of a bust of Cicero on the cover of a book of his writings I have, although Cicero wasn't wearing a fedora. He was similar around the nose.

You're right. This post may make even less sense than usual.



It's easier to see in this original photograph of Cicero:





Here he is again almost wearing a fedora:



Strangely enough, here he is as Indy's friend:



It's a small world.

No, it makes plenty of sense. I can see the resemblances!
