George Lucas, the filmmaker of Star Wars, was born and raised in Modesto, California. The George Lucas Plaza features statues of American Graffiti -- another movie of his.

Modesto is one of few populated center in California central valley, which is otherwise nowhere but endless farmland and maze of irrigation system that makes the farming possible. It reminded me of moisture farm in Tatooine, where Luke Skywalker was adapted and raised.
