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.”

She’s part of the team who just brought you The Mandalorian and Grogu, the heart and soul of the ugnaught Kuiil in season one of The Mandalorian, frog lady in season two and now she brings us a song – The Way – dedicated to us, the fandom.

Hello! This song is for the fans! xoxo

“The Way” is a special song tribute to Mando & Grogu. I have been on the most extraordinary journey with them since day one on set. In fact, the scene with Mando & Kuiil sitting on the blurrgs, overlooking the camp in episode one, that is the very first scene we shot on day one of The Mandalorian television series.

This song is a special one for me! It is very personal. I poured all of my heart and soul and experience working on The Mandalorian series… I put it all into the writing and recording, and it is dedicated to the most wonderful fans in a galaxy far, far away. This is the way! 🙂

I hope you love it as much as I loved creating it with my team!

Co-writer and music producer, Paul Bushnell. Thank you to Sian and Conor at Camden Recording. Thank you to Chris Bartlett for helping me with this shoot.

Much Love, Misty

“I Have Spoken”
