"I bequeath you lands, so that you may honour my greatness."

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.

A park sounds nice.

Not so sure about the statues though.

 

[I Don Quixote]

Wow. Just... wow.
That seems degrading.

 

[Montana Smith]

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

So, Indy is officially dead now? Like Marcus?

Mistah Brody - he dead.

Mistah Yoda - he dead.

Mistah Jones - he comatose.

*Ahem* That beautiful statue is NOT Lucas. How dare you insult me and my House Made Burrata.

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.

 

[Mickiana]

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

Seems pretty dull and uninspired.

Yes.

Looks like:

Poo, skull-f****ng, and geriatric incest...

"One of the facts which a lot of people don't know about San Anselmo is that both "Star Wars and Indiana Jones" were created here," Lucas said. ""Star Wars" especially was made here. The actual film was made here. So now we have a little monument to remind everybody that this is where the whole thing started."
