FILE - In this Jan. 23, 2011 file photo, football fans tailgate in a parking lot south of Soldier Field, in the background, before a Chicago Bears game in Chicago. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is trying to persuade “Star Wars” creator George Lucas to put his planned museum of art and movie memorabilia in Chicago and is offering up a slice of real estate along the Lake Michigan shorefront, meaning fans dressed up as Han Solo and Darth Vader might have to cross paths with rowdy Bears tailgaters. A competing bid from San Francisco seems a more natural fit: it’s Lucas’ hometown, it’s a premier center of technology and innovation and it’s closer to the nation’s movie-making heartland.
