Overview
- In a WSJ Magazine interview, Lucas said Disney "gave it their vision" and that he has "moved past" trying to manage the franchise.
- He sold Lucasfilm to Disney in 2012 for about $4.05 billion, and the company now leads new films and series with The Mandalorian and Grogu slated for 2026.
- Lucas is centering his time on the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, which is scheduled to open in Los Angeles in 2026.
- The museum will include 33 galleries with only one Star Wars exhibit, a choice Lucas said he made "grudgingly."
- Project reporting cites roughly $1 billion in spending and a collection of more than 40,000 works, including pieces by Norman Rockwell.
