George Lucas said Friday that complications in his plan to build his Lucas Museum of Narrative Art on the Chicago lakefront may put Los Angeles back in the running, reports the LA Times.
An environmental group has sued Lucas over his proposed museum site, citing concerns over the lakefront's ecosystem. Other opposition, including to the design proposal, could impair Chiacgo's ability to keep the museum of American art, narrative art, and memorabilia.
"The advantage Los Angeles has is that it's on the USC campus and I don't have to go through all the rigmarole of years and years of trying to get past everything," Lucas said. "That's an advantage because I do want to get it done in my lifetime."
