SAN FRANCISCO — George Lucas' empire is striking back in its long-running battle to build a palatial film studio in the pastoral hills north of San Francisco.
Lucasfilm Ltd., the force behind the Star Wars movies, shocked Marin County on Tuesday by announcing that it is abandoning the controversial Grady Ranch project, citing bitter opposition from neighbors and delays in the approval process.
The company said it would build its new digital media production studio elsewhere and hopes to sell the historic farmland to a developer interested in constructing low-income housing.

LOL. The empire strikes back!
The empire strikes back.
Beat me by 34 seconds!!
Low income housing. In Marin.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
If he really wants to stick it in their eye, he’d build it in Texas.
Even the commie lib 1% get fed up with all of the liberal bull**** that they have to put up with from their comrades.
Bwahahahahaha, a hoodie with every home. Pray you don't become prey, Lucas Valley homeowners.
under $2 million
Give the farmland to sharecroppers.
I love it. I loathe both groups. I have zero sympathy for Lucas, who is the very picture of limosine liberalism. Remember before the 2008 election, when he said that he based the evil Empire from his movies on the United States government? To hell with him. It’s kind of like the Spanish Civil War, where you had Communists vs. Fascists. Why help either side? Grab some popcorn, sit back, and watch them destroy each other.
Have a hard time seeing this in any light except one group of leftists going after another leftist. Can we make it so they both lose?
It'll be off the rack suits and 3 series BMWs as far as the eye can see.
Your contribution is noted, Lucas.
“Umm Lead to the dark side of the Force, anger does. Shut up, you County bureauweenies must. Or Section 8 it is.”
Corporatists (fascists) are not the dictators they wannbe in the US. These are the slimy idiots who put the left in power in California in exchange for “cooperation.”
They are mad because the leftists did not jump through their hoops and order this community to develop as ordered by the “empire.” All their authoritian tolerance is in exchange for their favor among the centralized “rulers.”
IMO, “Libertarian” corporate egos suck. They should have moved where they were welcome to develop without the leftist ghetto housing temper tamptrum. They should act as real adults running a real business...
The “libertarian” commies expect special powers over all others since they are the ones who put the left in power in California. Real adults would just move the business to a more friendly place instead of tossing a homo tizzy.
What the frack are you talking about??
