FILE - In this Nov. 16, 2013 file photo, filmmaker George Lucas and his wife, Chicago native Mellody Hobson, are seen on the red carpet at the 2013 Governors Awards in Los Angeles. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is trying to persuade the “Star Wars” creator 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 where it would be located. 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.
