…or, as the media is more perceptively calling it, the “Star Wars Museum” is supposed to house Lucas’ $1Billion collection of Star Wars art, photos, props, and memorabilia (although whether that’s the cost of the museum or of its valuation isn’t clear to me). LA won out over San Francisco, and it’s supposed to open in 2020.
Here’s a picture:
It’s nominally better than the Chicago concept which looked like a futuristic nuclear power plant.
Alas, it turned out that there’s actual rules about building along the lake shore and so Lucas took his ball and headed west and now the Californians get the eyesore instead.
I don’t think you understand the “sour grapes” concept: It’s about something you can’t have, not something you actively rejected and filed a lawsuit over
“Sour grapes”, used appropriately in this context, would be Lucas saying “I never wanted to build in Chicago anyway! I actually WANTED it in LA! So there!”
Its going to be built next to the historic LA Colosseum and Exposition Park, home of other museums. LA would seem to be a perfect place for this and Lucas is paying for it.
No, it needs to look like the data storage building on Scarif. Impossibly tall, impossibly impractical, with cantilevered catwalks hanging off into space with no handrails.
With a lava flow running through the middle, if possible. And it should be built in Tunisia.
