		It has also been a leader in developing new film technology in special effects, sound, and computer animation, and because of their expertise its subsidiaries often help produce non-Lucasfilm pictures.

	Surround Basics - LucasFilm THX [SMR]
		LucasFilm THX can be one of the most confusing areas of surround reproduction.
		The only piece of hardware manufactured by LucasFilm is the THX crossover which blends the horn drivers used for high/mid frequencies and sub-woofers used for deep bass together to give a flat response.
		LucasFilm armed a panel of mixing engineers with equalisers and gave them the task of equalising near and far sources.

		The commissioners want their staff and Lucasfilm to clear up confusion over how many people are allowed to be on the premises of two proposed office-building complexes on a daily basis.
		Evans said Lucasfilm's interpretation smacked of a "hidden agenda" that caused her to "squirm in my seat...This was in the EIR and [Ferguson] urged us to certify [it].
		In any case, he added, if another company were to move into the site after Lucasfilm, people still wouldn't be able to see the buildings from the road, the company would still be paying a million dollars in taxes, and more than 3,000 acres of land would be permanently protected.

	'Star Wars' creator sending his troops to the Presidio / George Lucas' empire moves into the future
		Lucasfilm is acutely aware of the inefficiency it has suffered with its most high-profile divisions tucked for years in hidden locations around Marin County, rarely working in concert.
		Lucasfilm now operates with the discipline of a public company, including audits from PricewaterhouseCoopers, and the oversight of a board of directors that includes veterans of the worlds of technology, banking and consumer marketing, Chau said.
		Lucasfilm was a real pioneer in this field when it founded Pixar in 1983, but it sold the technology to Steve Jobs three years later.

	DVDFILE.COM: Lucasfilm's Jim Ward on The Phantom Menace
		Coming over a year after the VHS release, the The Phantom Menace DVD represents Lucasfilm's first major effort on the format and a teaser on what may be to come.
		Lucasfilm is pulling out all the stops with The Phantom Menace, which boasts hours of supplemental material - much never-before-seen- and what promises to be superior audio and video quality unrivaled on the format.
		We have other featurettes on this disc that were already in existence, but we went back and took a look at the nearly six-hundred hours of footage that we had from a documentary team we hired to really cover the production from day one over the four year (production) process.

	Steve Mount's Letter to Lucasfilm
		I got a call from a representative of Lucasfilm the next day, January 21, 2000, and she and I resolved the issue amicably, though the end result was that I was to turn over the rights to Tatooine.com to Lucasfilm.
		Lucasfilm and I are in totally different businesses.
		I do not feel that either of these domain names is in violation of Lucasfilm's trademark either, since neither contain any Star Wars content - however, these domains have existed for less time than Tatooine.com, and the opportunity for Lucasfilm to register them obviously came and went without action by Lucasfilm.
