Lucasfilm is constructing a new building made of glass and steel that looks exactly like an enormous, gleaming replica of a Sandcrawler – the iconic mining vehicle in Star Wars used by Jawas to descend into sand dunes. It’s expected to house Lucasfilm, LucasArts, an animation team, and a 100-seat movie theater. The joint project between Aedas architectural firm and Fusionopolis will open at the tail end of 2012 and become the first overseas production facility in Lucasfilm’s 40-year history.
