Before more than 6,500 enthusiasts, Lucas, 81, <strong>chose to focus on an unconventional aspect of his career: his extensive comic book collection, which exceeds 40,000 works<\/strong>.

Moderated by the famous host Queen Latifah, <strong>they discussed the creation of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, a museum that will open in Los Angeles in 2026<\/strong>. The museum, which is considered a tribute to popular art, will house works by iconic comic artists and painters, as well as a special selection from the Lucas archive, which includes models and costumes from his most emblematic projects.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lucas assured that the museum seeks to give recognition to comic art, which, in his youth, was not valued as it should have been. <em>&#8220;When I was a child, comic art was not taken seriously. I was always told: &#8216;Doug, someday you&#8217;ll get over it.&#8217; And I&#8217;m very glad I didn&#8217;t&#8221;<\/em>, stated Chiang, highlighting the cultural importance of this medium. Del Toro added a historical perspective, pointing out that <em><strong>&#8220;comics were the first to hit the Nazis&#8221;<\/strong><\/em>, emphasizing their social impact.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"George Lucas Enters Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC)!
