“Star Wars” creator George Lucas will abandon plans to build the Lucas Museum in Chicago and move it to California. Two years ago, Lucas and his wife Mellody Hobson chose Chicago as the site to build the museum, which would showcase his art collection along the city’s lakefront. This gift was worth about $1.5 billion and would have been the largest philanthropic contribution in Chicago’s history. This project has been on hold since November 2014 because the group Friends of the Parks filed a federal lawsuit blocking construction.
