A film center that "Star Wars" director George Lucas is planning for the former Presidio is running into resistance from the National Park Service.
Lucasfilm's Digital Arts Center is too big and too modern for the 224-year-old former military base in San Francisco and may not conform to federal laws intended to preserve historic areas, said John Reynolds of the Park Service.
The $250 million center is the first major project in the Presidio since it was put in civilian hands six years ago. The plans include a ring of Greek columns, an artificial stream, a dining area and two water walls.

Jim Meadows, president of the nonprofit group that governs the Presidio, said some modifications will be made.
