On the streets of San Francisco (at Lucasfilms Presidio headquarters) and the Burbank studio lot, industrious hearts, hands and minds hit the sidewalks with chalk in hand to create some amazing pieces of artwork. In a grand LFL tradtion that not only stretches back to 2012 and the very first Chalk Festival but well before in the pages of Bantha Tracks and on crew t-shirts, those pieces were ranked and picked (but there are no definitive winners here, all of them are fantastic).
Chopper Roan joined the Pink Tauntaun Club, Rey took on breakdancing Rachael ‘Raygun’ Gunn style, and we got a glimpse inside the mind of Anakin Skywalker at this year’s Lucasfilm Sidewalk Chalk Art Festival. On October 10, a beautiful fall day at both our San Francisco and Burbank offices, Lucasfilm and Industrial Light & Magic employees competed in the annual event, bringing coworkers together to collaborate on pieces of street art. Beginning in 2012, the festival has become a treasured tradition amongst employees.
With small bites, sweet treats, and music for everyone to enjoy, the festival is a must-see event. At our San Francisco offices, the event falls in the midst of Fleet Week — a collection of air shows, ship parades, and other various community events — where passersby get treated to the spectacular sight of the U. S. Navy Blue Angels soaring overhead.
