Star Wars in Motion at the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art

You found this. Be the first one here.

You were promised a flying car and what arrived was traffic on the 110. Then you stand in front of Luke's actual landspeeder, the real prop, and the ache comes back intact, because somebody built the thing you used to draw in the margins and here it sits close enough to see where the paint got scuffed. George Lucas spent decades assembling a museum for narrative art and opened it in Exposition Park this September with more than thirty installations and over twelve hundred objects, running from ancient gods through Renaissance painting to comics. This is the cinema room: vehicle designs, costumes and illustrations from the first six films, including General Grievous's wheel bike built as a physical object for the first time ever, having only existed as animation until now. Entry is timed and booked ahead, twenty-five dollars for adults, free for anyone seventeen or under. One Lucas Plaza on South Vermont, and it is one of the few big rooms in this city open on a Monday morning.
