Every wall of the the center contains references to LucasFilm's rich heritage

Some of the models have been co-opted to support Industrial Light and Magic's work on the Pirates films
LucasFilm is powered by a data centre equivalent to 10,000 home PCs with 250 terabytes of storage
Some of the staff have iconic film props - such as the disc used in one of the Star Trek films - in their offices
Also on show is the model of Han Solo trapped in carbonite - a classic moment from the film The Empire Strikes Back
Phantom Menace character Jar Jar Binks is also encased in carbonite - after being voted the worst character in science fiction history
Priceless clay models and props are in every hall and walkway
