But also, it’s about creating an epicenter that pays respect to the myth-telling pop art which has informed our culture.</p><p>“(Art) is more about a connection and emotional connection with the work, not how much it cost or what celebrity did it. I don’t think it’s anything anyone will tell you. If you have emotional connection, it’s art. If you don’t, just move onto the next painting,” Lucas added.</p><p>del Toro, who is a board member at the new museum, says that after surviving the L.A. fires earlier this year, he’s looking to the new museum as a place to house his own personal collection of art.</p><p>Chiang says the museum “is giving respect to an artform that hasn’t been honored before.” The designer credits comic books for setting him on course to a creative career. However, during his youth, comic books were never respected. He gave props to Lucas who told him that when creating any art, it requires a story behind it. Chiang worked in the art department on <em>Star Wars: Episodes I-III </em>and went on to be a production designer on current Disney Lucasfilm projects such as <em>Rogue One: A Star Wars Story </em>and Disney+ series <em>The Mandalorian, Ahsoka </em>and <em>Skeleton Crew.</em></p><blockquote></blockquote><p>Continue/Read Original Article Here: <em><a href="https://deadline.com/2025/07/comic-con-george-lucas-guillermo-del-toro-lucas-museum-of-narrative-art-1236471055/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Comic-Con: George Lucas In Hall H Debut, Talks With Guillermo del Toro About New Museum</a></em></p> <p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/2025/" target="_blank">#2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/america/" target="_blank">#America</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/books/" target="_blank">#Books</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/california/" target="_blank">#California</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/deadline/" target="_blank">#Deadline</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/film/" target="_blank">#Film</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/films/" target="_blank">#Films</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/george-lucas/" target="_blank">#GeorgeLucas</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/guillermo-del-toro/" target="_blank">#GuillermoDelToro</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/hall-h/" target="_blank">#HallH</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/libraries/" target="_blank">#Libraries</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/library/" target="_blank">#Library</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/movies/" target="_blank">#Movies</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/new-museum/" target="_blank">#NewMuseum</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/reading/" target="_blank">#Reading</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/san-diego/" target="_blank">#SanDiego</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/san-diego-comic-con/" target="_blank">#SanDiegoComicCon</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/science-fiction/" target="_blank">#ScienceFiction</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/sdcc-2/" target="_blank">#SDCC</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/star-wars/" target="_blank">#StarWars</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/technology/" target="_blank">#Technology</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/television/" target="_blank">#Television</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/united-states/" target="_blank">#UnitedStates</a></p>
