George Lucas’s 80th Birthday Party Was a Star-Studded Affair!
Hollywood visionary and Star Wars creator George Lucas celebrated his 80th birthday last weekend with a star-studded affair that included a few guests from a galaxy far, far away.
The festivities took place at Lucas’s Skywalker Ranch, which is located roughly 40 minutes north of San Francisco on the manmade Ewok Lake. The land is also home to Skywalker Sound, the hallowed 153,000 sq ft postproduction facility, and a 300-seat theater area.

While Lucas has largely stayed out of the spotlight since selling Lucasfilm to Disney in 2012, it sounds like the Hollywood legend still knows how to throw a party.
