Event Details

The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art celebrates the power of visual storytelling. Founded by George Lucas and Mellody Hobson, the museum explores how images move us and shape our collective memory. From Frida Kahlo’s self-portrait to Norman Rockwell’s scenes of everyday life to Charles White’s portraits of dignity. Each invites reflection. Each tells a story.

Designed by Ma Yansong of MAD, the Lucas Museum is located in Exposition Park in the South Los Angeles region. The museum’s campus includes new green space designed by Mia Lehrer and her team at Studio-MLA. Inside the building, our galleries explore timeless themes—family, love, work, play, fantasy, and more. Additional spaces include two state-of-the-art cinematic theaters and dedicated areas for learning, dining, retail, and events.

George Lucas and Mellody Hobson share a conviction that illustrated stories connect people across cultures and generations. Their decades of collecting span iconic American painting and popular illustration, comics, and cinematic art.

Lucas, creator of the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises, and founder of the George Lucas Educational Foundation began collecting in college, when the only art he could afford was original comic art for $30. Over 50 years, that collection has grown to more than 40,000 works. “I could never sell my art,” Lucas says. “It just is not what I think art is. I think it’s more about an emotional connection with the work, not how much it cost.”

Hobson, in addition to managing Ariel Investments, is the former chair of Starbucks Corporation and serves as a director of JPMorganChase.

In 2010, Hobson and Lucas signed the Giving Pledge, a campaign and public promise by some of the world’s wealthiest philanthropists to give the majority of their wealth to charitable causes. The pair is committed to improving education, particularly through the arts. “We’ve always said we’re holding society’s money, which we fully intend to give back,” Hobson says. “This is how we’re doing it.”

Fantha Tracks contributor Jordan Maison has posted this interesting snippet of info to Twitter, potentially laying down a pathway to the identity of the next Star Wars animated series.

While we are all well aware of the vast and numerous projects Lucasfilm and Disney are working on in the Star Wars galaxy, the information Jordan has received seems very specific.

LFL just filed a trademark for “Star Wars Resistance” & before you start claiming “Mobile Game” it’s registered for books, games, toy, and all the same stuff their media (shows/movies) get….Could this be thesequel timeline based series that’s been rumored? #StarWars

Of course, until it’s confirmed by Lucasfilm or Disney then it’s just hearsay and fan speculation, but with Rebels now done, the live action show taking shape under the guidance of Jon Favreau and multiple show pitches at various stages of development, surely it won’t be long until we hear details regarding the next animated venture.
