Yoda Fountain, Bronze fountain at Letterman Digital Arts Center, San Francisco, United States
The bronze statue of Yoda sits atop a water fountain in front of Building B, measuring 32 inches tall and weighing 170 pounds.
Lawrence Noble created the original 11-inch Yoda statue in 1990 for the Official Lucasfilm Fan Club before crafting this larger version in 2005.
The fountain represents the connection between San Francisco and the Star Wars universe, marking the location of Lucasfilm headquarters in the Presidio.
The fountain stands at 1 Letterman Drive, with dedicated parking available after informing the gate attendant of your destination.
The sculpture features intricate details of the Jedi Master, making it one of 25 limited edition pieces created from the same design.
