Since we last visited SF in 2005, Lucasfilm has settled into its new, stunning home in the Presidio. Above, a statue of Yoda stands guard.
With the Palace of Fine Arts in the distance, here stands a statue pf Eadweard Muybridge -- the English-born photographer and San Franciscan known as one of the grandfathers of motion picture (and, more notoriously, for killing his wife's lover and getting off scott free for "justifiable homicide"). Muybridge is also most famous for answering California Gov. Stanford's question: Is there ever a point in a horse's gallop where all 4 legs are off the ground? (The answer, as Muybridge discovered, is yes).
