Sources close to the filmmaker told the newspaper that he is eager to spend more time in London. George Lucas lives primarily in California, where he was born and raised.
Although the director has not been clear about the reason for the purchase, the newspaper highlighted that George Lucas is “reportedly critical” of President Donald Trump’s policies.
Lucas spent much of his career living in California, on a property known as Skywalker Ranch, named after the iconic character Luke Skywalker.
The property covers 6,000 acres and includes several buildings, including a large Victorian-style main residence that serves as the director’s primary home.
George Lucas designed the project alongside the architectural studio TWM Architects to build it in 1985.
According to the official website of the residence, the mansion has about 4,600 square meters of living space and features a two-story research library, a 35-seat movie theater, a music room, and a solarium.
It is unclear whether Lucas intends to sell his other properties now that he has purchased a new mansion in London.
