George Lucas does something I don't have to hate him for
Vigo:
Yawn....Georgie might have had plans for 25 years, but it wasn't until April 2012 that the nearby neighborhood association filed an appeal after the Lucas filed permits to begin with plans this year. Georgie is just being a crybaby diva about the whole thing, and I wouldn't be surprised if it is all a bluff to get everyone to rally to his cause. Play the martyr a while and people jump out in the street for you. The Owner of the MN Vikings threatened to move the team to LA last year, now the state is fighting to built him a stadium. Its all a game.
All of Lucas's lawyers vs 1 appeal filed by a neighborhood association, with the country promising to side with him fight for his position. Also the fact that he within his legal right to build. Hrm.....real tough legal battle for Lucas. ::)
Anyway, anybody who fights to keep Georgie from churning more crappy movies out every week is alright by my book. :P

T Boone pickens has a huge ranch in N texas, but it's +only+ 68,000 acres :'(
CheffoJeffo:
I'll disagree with Vigo on this -- what is sad isn't that Lucas has a huge legal machine, but rather that some crotchety ---smurfette--- can yell at him about his own lawn and ---fudgesicle--- everything up.
An interesting question comes to mind ... and may get this kicked to PnR ... how the hell is it that the land of the free became the "land of the free, so long as you mow your lawn in a manner that we approve of" ?
I have heard tell of these Homeowners Associations that wreak havoc with people's lives for simply not complying,
HaRuMaN:
It's simple, you don't like the HOA & its rules, you are free to buy property elsewhere.
shmokes:
I hate that. It's not remotely that simple.
