Just over seven years ago, the iconic eight-storey Lucasfilm Sandcrawler building was officially opened in Singapore, when George Lucas and Kathleen Kennedy (current President of Lucasfilm) graced the opening ceremony.
Earlier this year, news broke that the Blackstone group was interested in purchasing the building for about $132 million. It looks like the purchase has actually gone through, and today, on April 7, 2021, the iconic Master Yoda statue located in the middle of the garden on the premises has been removed, possibly marking a change, that the building is no longer owned by Lucasfilm.
Since January of 2014, many Star Wars fans in Singapore could visit the building and Master Yoda, to “pay their respects”, or simply take a wefie for bragging rights.
