^ Exactly; his personal connection came into play; he was more willing to compromise on his original criteria owing to that.

By that logic, Chicago does too. Yet Lucas didn't think so.

Gross misinterpretation of my comment. Within LA, movie paraphernelia is not so big a draw, or at least when it's in a limited amount in a location far away from other hollywood locations. People are more interested in studio tours, or the Walk of Fame; adjacency to that part of town would have made sense. That's the only criticism I made, and that represents only a portion of the museum's program. On the other hand in Chicago, this museum of course would have been a very big draw. Though it's true I personally find an exhibit on stage props incredibly dull, it's unquestionable I would have loved to have this museum since it would have been a public hit, the paintings and other art would have been very good, the architecture would have been interesting, etc.
