George Lucas originally moved here after graduating from film school at the University of Southern California in the 1960s and has since made it the headquarters of his company, basing Lucasfilm in San Rafael (it moved to San Francisco in 2005) and later starting Industrial Light and Magic in San Francisco\u2019s Presidio and building Skywalker Ranch 40 minutes north of the city in Nicasio.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-block-type=\"text\" data-dropcap=\"false\">\n<p>In the past, SFGATE has honored May the Fourth by diving into the annals of \u201cStar Wars\u201d history, with stories exploring strange corners of the franchise\u2019s past, like a beach photo shoot in\u00a0Marin for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfgate.com\/sf-culture\/article\/carrie-fisher-star-wars-stinson-beach-18074251.php\" data-link=\"native\" class=\"\">Rolling Stone<\/a> in the summer of 1983; the San Anselmo parade where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfgate.com\/sf-culture\/article\/darth-vader-heatstroke-bay-area-parade-20306881.php\" data-link=\"native\" class=\"\">Boba Fett was introduced;<\/a>\u00a0and the many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfgate.com\/sf-culture\/article\/star-wars-bay-area-landmarks-19435976.php\" data-link=\"native\" class=\"\">Bay Area landmarks<\/a> that influenced the series.
