LUCASFILM

'
'Lucasfilm Ltd.' is an American film production company founded by George Lucas in 1971, based in Marin County, California. George Lucas is the company's current chairman, and Micheline Chau is its president/chief operating officer.
The company is best known for producing the ''Star Wars'' films, but it has produced other box office hits, including the ''Indiana Jones'' franchise and ''American Graffiti''. It has also been a leader in developing new film technology in special effects, sound, and computer animation, and because of their expertise its subsidiaries often help produce non-Lucasfilm pictures. Lucasfilm is set to move away from films and more into TV, due to rising budgets ^[1]
In July 2005, Lucasfilm's marketing, online, and licensing units moved into the new Letterman Digital Arts Center located in the Presidio in San Francisco. It shares the complex with Industrial Light & Magic, and LucasArts.
