In an interview with The Wall Avenue Journal, George Lucas and his spouse Mellody Hobson mentioned their lives, relationship, and the sophisticated strategy of placing collectively the Lucas Museum of Narrative Artwork: a set of, and tribute to, numerous sorts of visible storytelling mediums. Naturally, the dialog turned to Star Wars. It’s, in any case, the defining work of Lucas’ filmmaking profession and the factor that most individuals will doubtless count on to see after they finally go to the Lucas Museum of Narrative Artwork when it opens in Los Angeles’ Exposition Park someday in 2026. 

As far as that goes, Lucas needs Star Wars followers to know that they need to maintain their expectations properly in examine when visiting the museum.

“It’s one gallery out of 33. And I did it grudgingly,” says Lucas relating to the museum’s solely Star Wars exhibit, a tribute to the designs of the franchise’s numerous autos. “I didn’t need folks to come back to the museum and say, ‘The place’s the Star Wars?’”

Lucas has usually been fairly candid relating to his Star Wars ideas lately. Particularly, he has criticized the course of a few of Disney’s current Star Wars initiatives and instructed The Hollywood Reporter that “after I offered the corporate, numerous the concepts that had been in [the original] form of received misplaced.” Stated statements have fuelled wild hypothesis that Lucas might need to return to Star Wars and revisit a few of these seemingly misplaced concepts. 

Nevertheless, believing that requires you to disregard numerous different issues Lucas has stated relating to his need to easily transfer on from the franchise. And simply in case we weren’t all very clear on the place Lucas stands on the way forward for Star Wars, he had this to say to The Wall Avenue Journal. 

“Disney took it over and so they gave it their imaginative and prescient. That’s what occurs,” says Lucas of Disney’s roughly $4 billion acquisition of Lucasfilm and the Star Wars franchise. “After all I’ve moved previous it. I imply, I’ve received a life. I’m constructing a museum. A museum is tougher than making films.”

That’s maybe extra of an apples and oranges comparability, however there may be definitely no ambiguity relating to Lucas’ need to maneuver on from all issues Star Wars as a lot as fairly potential. And whereas it will hardly be the final time that Lucas is requested a Star Wars query, it seems like he’s prepared to offer the evil eye to anybody who treats the Lucas Museum of Narrative Artwork as a Star Wars museum. 

As for the feedback about getting a life… properly, I’ll take a Star Trek and Star Wars crossover the place and when I can get one.
