Fodor's Expert Review Letterman Digital Arts Center
Bay Area filmmaker George Lucas's 23-acre Letterman Digital Arts Center, a digital studio campus along the eastern edge of the land, is exquisitely landscaped and largely open to the public. If you have kids in tow or are a Star Wars fan yourself, make the pilgrimage to the Yoda Fountain between two of the arts-center buildings, then take your picture with the life-size Darth Vader statue in the lobby, open to the public on weekdays. The center's public restaurant, Sessions, is a good stop for a craft beer and some satisfying eats that often include produce or beef from Lucas's Skywalker Ranch.
