George Lucas’s New Museum Reveals His Minimal Approval of Disney-Era Star Wars

George Lucas's newly opened Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles features a Star Wars collection almost entirely from his own era, with only two notable exceptions from the Disney-owned period, signaling his limited approval of the franchise's recent direction. The museum displays original concept art, props, and vehicles from the original and prequel trilogies, but excludes nearly all Disney-era productions. The sole Disney-era inclusions are a Grogu statue and fountain, plus screenings of the canceled *Star Wars Detours* and the anime anthology *Star Wars: Visions*. These choices align with Lucas's reported criticism that *The Force Awakens* offered "nothing new," suggesting he values creative experimentation and practical artistry over the current franchise's canon-bound output.
