Lucas museum site once garbage dump

The George Lucas Museum may need more than the force to be built. A long time ago, that lakefront property just south of Soldier Field was a garbage dump.

The Star Wars creator will need to determine a way of safely clearing away any potentially dangerous substances that could date back to the Chicago Fire of 1871.

No public dollars have been allocated for construction of the Lucas museum, although the mayor's office supports the plan for its construction.
