George Lucas, Guillermo del Toro on Lucas Museum

To close San Diego Comic-Com with a fuss, George Lucas appeared his first appearance at the Long Pop Culture Festival alongside director Guellermo Del Toro and Lucasfilm Lucefilm Designer. But the team’s topic was not new Star Wars project; It was the importance of keeping art within the reach of the audience, especially during unprecedented times, at the Lucas Museum, which opened next year in Los Angeles.

Nevertheless, the attendees were unable to arrest glimpses of the assumptions depicting Nabo Starf fighter as part of coordinated works. In addition, there was a flash-will look at General Grievous on his wheel bike as well as the art of concept in favor of Indiana Jones.

Lucas Museum confirmed to IO9 that these works are listed in the museum collections, with more ads to come from their opening facilities. IO9 previously mentioned that the collection will also include Luke’s full -sized Lock Lock New hope, The original and model plans for Falcon MillenniumZi Darith Fader, and a full -sized yoza model.

Mostly, the committee focused on a conversation on telling stories and the importance of access. “This museum is devoted to the idea that stories and myths – any kind of written story to influence people and build society – are extremely important to society, create societies and create society,” Lucas explained. “Art shows that story, and this is the right hand to build a society: you need art to make it look real. Even in the Renaissance or Stone Age, you will always have a story that people think is myths: we do not really. Let them enjoy an emotional experience in art that tells modern myths.”

He continued. “The artistic part of it is a way to make it accessible to people and [making] So they think that. “

“It is part of what we need to keep society together. Even if it is difficult, a lot of art focuses on those ideas on what we believe in and how important [it] For us, we have a society and be able to build a common belief, and this is especially true today because of the fact that the world has become a smaller place. There are many different common beliefs there. It was easy because they were far away and it was difficult to reach them, to interact with that. But now, we are witnessing, in many ways, the fact that there is [are] Many different beliefs and there are many uncommon. Society cannot exist without a common belief system. “

Guillermo del Toro, who works as a member of the Board of Directors, discussed the hope that the museum’s principles will contribute to the struggle for knowledge at a time when there is erasure of the outbreak of history. “The stories that make up the world. The stories that tell you the wrong thing about your identity or what you should be for other people because one of the brutally applied branches is advertising. I think that the art of clarification is not only celebrated with the craft of amazing people who designed films and art.”

Del Toro went on to mention some of these great artists – including Ralph Macquari, Ron Cope and Jim Stiraeko – and led a point to the home about the directive of the Lucas Museum. “It also celebrates something emotional belonging to all of us. The legend belongs to all of us, advertising is controlled by a very small group. The legend unites us; propaganda divides us.”

Del Toro continued. “Common myths in the forms of comic books of any kind – I do not care if you love underground comedy or caricatures of the edges that have nothing to do with type or you like a piece of type, we can all reach those feelings. For this reason they do not belong to the man, they do not belong to our fathers, they belong to us.”

The Lucas Museum, which has an area of 300,000 square feet, described a coffin. Its design by MA Yansong is not characterized by any solid edges as a way to reflect the flow of knowledge. “I think this celebrates the things that speak to all of us collectively but individually. So the museum’s size again announces this in existence in a unique way in the world now,” said Del Toro. “and [it’s] Something can celebrate this form of art. “

Oscar -winning designer and long -collaborative at Lucasfilm Doug Chiang is attributed to folklore, which is celebrated by San Diego Comic Kon annually, to inspire her in the course of his career as well as access to the unimportant public spaces.

“The clarification of comic and artistic art has been seen in magazines … but I could have enjoyed art, and he invited me to learn more about art,” as he participated, and as the two partially his career to the love of museums and libraries, the day of the free comic book, and PBS, I must agree. It is a way for everyone, not just a selected few, to search for the purpose. There is a reason why the museum is located by Lucas’ alma Mater, USC. By the way, the USC hosts the La Times Festival for Book Opera Phantom.

“It is it [George’s] A gift to help celebrate this, and what I really enjoy about this is frankly that you know that art is narration is a way to educate children and to some extent, such as verifying health and saying: “It is okay to draw your imagination, draw things from your mind, and embrace comic books.” It should not be seen, and what is great is that I think the museum – I hope that the upcoming Norman Rokwell or Frank Freisita will inspire. “Or, as you know, Dog, Guiro, or George.
