George Lucas moving forward with plans for park with 2nd Yoda statue in San Francisco Bay area

SAN ANSELMO, Calif. – Star Wars fans may soon have another Yoda statue in the San Francisco Bay area to visit.

Filmmaker George Lucas plans to help build a small park in Marin County that would include bronze statues of the popular Star Wars character and Indiana Jones.

His estate manager tells the Marin Independent Journal (http://bit.ly/YsKH3u ) the Yoda statue would be similar to one in San Francisco’s Presidio neighbourhood. That one — a full-sized replica of the Jedi sage — lies atop a fountain outside an arts centre where Lucas moved most of his operations in 2005.

It has become a big draw for fans.

Lucas applied for a permit Wednesday to demolish a building on the site of the planned park in San Anselmo, the town where Lucas lives.
