George Lucas may be more responsible for the type of fandom found at San Diego Comic-Con than any other individual filmmaker. During the 48 years ago ”Star Wars” film Franchise services have been weighted into the SDCC vibes and taken the event far beyond the series for which it was established. “Star Wars” himself has very Quickly ventured into Comic Realm after the 1977 edition, and the big fans that the film was born are the type that buy tickets to the cascade of con-panels annually.
So is enough to say, lucas’ Very first ever Appearance on comic-con was a hot ticket, although he did not seem to discuss His career Or the legacy of “Star Wars” or his thoughts on Disney-Pin-Off’s or his early classic “American Graffiti” or produces “Indiana Jones.” Instead preview Lucas his long in the Development Museum, Lucas Museum of TellsIVe Artwhich will be opened next year-delay in one year from its original schedule. At the panel, held on July 27 and moderated by Queen Latifah, called the Lucas Museum “A Temple for People’s Art.”
“I think it’s more about a connection – an emotional connection – with the work, not how much it costs or any celebrity did it or whatever,” Said Lucas at the panel. “It’s more of a personal thing, and I don’t think it’s something anyone else can say to you,” it’s art, it’s not. “It doesn’t work that way.
The Museum, located in the Los Angeles Exposition Park – will – according to its Website -“An 11 acre campus with extensive new green area” which will contain a building of 300,000 square meters with “expansive galleries, two state -of -the -art theaters and dedicated spaces for learning and commitment, dining room, retail and events.” At the panel, Lucas showed several pieces that will be part of the opening exhibitions (via Discussion film), including drawings from the original “Iron Man” comedian, a “Black Panther” ink splash, vintage “peanuts” sketches, the first 1934 drawing of the character Flash Gordon, concept art for Indiana Jones, Frida Kahlo paintings and a lifestyle Naboo Starfighter, among many other things.
“I have been collecting art since I went to college and when I went to college that was somehow close to the Stone Age, I couldn’t really afford real art,” Lucas explainedshows up with other narrator, filmmaker Guillermo del Toro and movie designer Doug Chiang. “I love all art no matter what it is. But I could afford comic art because it was underground on the ground.”
The The museum will also have Two theaters, a library, an event space and 33 galleries, including one of exhibitions that will include the earliest forms of narrative art: the mythological Greek, Roman and Egyptian gods.
The new company is the type of bold swing that just a real original, like Lucas, would do – hesaving, he said, the unspoken narrators. As he explained, “only from my experience of making movies and things, that other people’s opinions do not mean much,” he explained. “The only thing that really matters is what you do and what you feel for it.”
