The Letterman Digital Arts Center is the new home of Lucasfilm, Industrial Light & Magic, and Lucasarts. It seems that Lucasfilm is set to continue providing state of the art digital media and entertainment services with this new campus dedicated to this specific task. It is great to see that Lucasfilm will be continuing to move forward after the completion of the Star Wars Saga and will be expanding into television as well.
Opening the door to the future of digital arts, filmmaker George Lucas and nearly 2,000 guests today celebrated the unveiling of the Letterman Digital Arts Center, a 23-acre, 860,000-square-foot production campus in the heart of city’s historic Presidio.
The Letterman Digital Arts Center is devoted to the production of digital cinema and videogames and the creative exploration and innovation of new digital tools that allow artists to bring anything they can imagine to life. “The digital revolution began in San Francisco, and digital arts and entertainment have only begun to show their potential,” Lucas said during the opening gala, which saw guests treated to entertainment by San Francisco artists Boz Scaggs, Chris Isaak, Bonnie Raitt, Michael Tilson Thomas and the cast of Beach Blanket Babylon, among others. - Lucasfilm.com

Hopefully we will be seeing many more Lucasfilm productions in the future, along with more great games from Lucasarts and more spectacular visual effects from Industrial Light & Magic.
