To speak out, George Lucas made his debut at the long-running Pop Culture Festival with film producer Guillermo del Toro and award-winning Lucasfilm designer Doug Chiang. But the panel theme is not a new one Star Wars Project; This is the opening of the Lucas Museum in Los Angeles next year, which is the importance of giving public access to artworks, especially at unprecedented times.
Fans are not worried, though – on the quick and hoarse scroll of the selected works, Hawkeye attendees were able to glimpse the renderings depicting a life-size Naboo Starfighter as part of the selected works. Also, blink to the situation you will disappear, his wheels on the bike on the greves and concept art Indiana Jones.
The Lucas Museum confirmed to IO9 that the works are included in the museum’s collection, and that there are more announcements to release its inaugural facilities. IO9 previously reported that the series also includes Luke’s full-size Landspeeder A new hope, Original plan and model Millennium FalconDarth Vader clothing and full-size Yoda models.
For the most part, though, the group focused on the importance of conversations about storytelling and accessibility. “The museum is committed to the idea that stories, myths – any story that aims to influence people and build communities – is very important for society, to build society and to build communities,” Lucas explained. “Art illustrates this story, it’s the right hand to build a community: you need art to make it look real. Even back in the Renaissance or the Stone Age, you’ll always have a story that people believe in, people believe in people’s myth: it’s not true. But people believe in it and bind it with them, it tied them to a common system of belief. Things we can do with us here, what we can do here. Let them have an emotional experience, and watching art really tells modern myths.”
He continued. “The art part of it is a way to really get people to visit it [making] So they believe it. ”
“It’s part of what we need to unite society. Even if it’s tough, a lot of art revolves around the thoughts we believe in and how important it is. [it] For us, having a community and being able to build a shared belief, especially today, because the world is becoming smaller. There are many different common beliefs there. It was easy in the past because they were far away and it was difficult to interact with them. But now, we are experiencing it in many ways [are] Many different beliefs, many are not common. Without a common belief system, society would not exist. ”
Guillermo del Toro, who served as a board member, discussed the purpose of the Hope Museum will fight for knowledge when the rampant history erases. “Stories shape the world. Tell you stories about who you are or what you should be to others, because one of the cruelly applied narrative branches is publicity. I think illustration art is not only celebrating incredible films and art’s skills.”
Del Toro went on to mention some of these great artists, including Ralph McQuarrie, Ron Cobb and Jim Steranko, and drove the point away from the guiding vision of the Lucas Museum Museum. “It’s also an emotional thing to celebrate all of us. Myth belongs to all of us, and propaganda is controlled by a small group. Myth brings us together; propaganda divides us.”
Del Toro continues. “Popular myths in any form of comics – I don’t care if you like underground comics or edgy comics that are not related to genres, or you like the genre, and that’s the emotions that we all have access to.
He described the 300,000 square foot Lucas Museum as an ark. Ma Yansong’s design does not have hard edges as a way to reflect the knowledge flow. “I think it’s a celebration of what we all talk to all of us collectively but individually. So the scale of the museum is once again announced in a strange way in the world right now,” Del Toro said. “and [it’s] Something that can be celebrated in this art form. ”
Academy Award-winning designer and longtime Lucasfilm collaborator Doug Chiang praised popular art, a celebration that San Diego Comic Con celebrates every year to inspire his career path while also allowing access to public public places that do not guard it.
“The illustrations of comic art and magazines are a bit overlooked…but it’s a way for me to enjoy art, and it invites me to learn more about art,” he shared. This is the way everyone, not only a few, seeks purpose. Lucas’ alma mater, UC, found the museum’s reason. By the way, USC held the Los Angeles Times Book Festival, where I read the first chapter, Gaston Lairoux’s The Phantom of the Opera.
Chiang added: “Yes [George’s] Gifts that help celebrate this, what I really like is that you know that narrative art is a way to educate kids and kind of like validation and say, “It’s OK to draw fantasy, to draw things from the mind, to embrace comic books.” It shouldn’t be underestimated, and I think the wonder of the museum is that my hope is that it will inspire the next Norman Rockwell or Frank Frazeta. ” Or, you know, the next Doug, Guillermo or George.
The Lucas Museum will open in 2026. For more information, visit here.
