Lenno
Lucasfilm's Headquarters
for Star
Wars 'Attack of the Clones'
Lenno has quite a few things to offer. Not only is it the starting
place to visit the Punto Balbianello,
where the famous Villa del Balbianello
can be found, but it was also the place where
Lucasfilm, the movie company owned by
creative genius George Lucas,
had their headquarters for the production of
Star Wars - Episode II - 'Attack of the Clones'.
The Lucasfilm Headquarters on the Via Statale
in Lenno.
This non-descript building on the Via Statale
in Lenno used to be a public school (gps 45°58'08N-9°11'25E), but
was deserted some years prior. It was convenient for the production
company of the second Star Wars
prequel to take office here. They had plenty of room for
storage of their cameras and other equipment, as well as for
costumes and catering. It was less than a mile from the
Villa del Balbianello where most of the
principal photography took place.
The Lucasfilm HQ today.
Today, the building houses a gym and an accountancy firm.
