George Lucas' proposed "Star Wars" museum has received the green light by the Chicago City Council.
The 300,000-sqaure-foot Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, which will house Lucas' collection of paintings, illustrations, digital art and movie memorabilia, cleared its final major city hurdle Wednesday as the city council voted to approve zoning for the project, according to The Chicago Tribune.
The vote took place after the Chicago Bears and the museum organization came to an agreement over parking rules, tailgating spots and advertising around the Bears' Soldier Field stadium, where the museum will be located.
Once the museum is up, Bears fans will get an additional 200 tailgating spots, and fan parking spots will also go up by 1,300, to 7,800 from 6,500, according to city officials.
"The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art will be an incredible addition to Chicago's Museum Campus," Rahm Emanuel, the city's mayor, said in a statement.
Lucas decided to move the museum to Chicago after San Francisco rejected the "Star Wars" creator's $700 million proposal, as HNGN previously reported.
The museum is slated to open in 2019, given that it acquires all of the necessary permits, and will feature memorabilia from Lucas' movies, as well as artwork, sets and props from other films.
