When we found out that Dark Horse Comics Senior Editor Randy Stradley was taking a tour of Lucasfilm and the Skywalker Ranch, we immedietly begged him to let as many of us as possible stowaway in his luggage. He wasn't down with that (damn airline fees!) but he did snap a few photos for this weeks Star Wars Friday! It's almost like we're there! Enjoy!

Randy Stradley. Clearly the right man for the job. 
Yoda greets visitors outside the Presidio offices.
In the lobby at the Presidio. You know, in case the statue of Yoda out front didn't give you a clue.

 
In the bookcase inside the Presidio lobby.

 
Life-size, but not lively.

 
Also in the lobby, also lifesize.

 
Lobby of the Presidio. Willis O'Brien animates Kong atop the Empire State Building. In my opinion, this alone is worth the trip. Trivia note: Willis O'Brien's nickname was "Obi." Kinda makes you wonder, huh?

 
The lovely garden entrance to the new (well, new-ish) theater building.

 
The main house at Skywalker Ranch. Through the front doors, go almost to the back of the house, and hang a left to get to the kitchen.


There you have it folks! Looks pretty cool, huh? Tell us what you think in the comments section below!
