What did I think of it?
Well, looks like everything's going to be rotated. Best part: it pretends Disney sequels do not exist. Worst part: some models look terrible (Luke's face) and many characters are not included. No Palpatine, Dooku, Jar-Jar, dark side Anakin except as Vader, Ahsoka, etc.
oh nice. did you get to talk to lucas assuming you that same nigga from the other day
>>223045292He didn't show up, the lazy fuck. Zero crew or cast appearances, even at the launch party the previous night. I'd assume he'll be there at the official opening. Was worth a visit but it's unfinished. At least the models are originals from 1977.
>>223045375wow, cool shit. what else did he have in there besides the star wars stuff ?
now this is podracing (no audio/visual elements at all, no vidya or arcade games or memorabilia/lightsabers/props)
>>223045436those guys should be careful theyre gonna get hit D:
>>223045419A massive collection of Norman Rockwell paintings, which are OK but it was ridiculously large, felt like he was the exhibit because he ran out of storage space at home. Some sci-fi illustrations, art from 1920s-90s. There is zero context or explanations for any exhibits though, so most of it won't be understood by visitors from outside LA (there's a ton of Diego Rivera art, if you don't know anything about Mexicans or Mexican-Americans then it's pretty pointless).>space milkers
original art
take a seat, young anon
>>223045574i can respect the vision if he just wants ppl to take it in without context and thats the intention. if its cuz its unfinished thats a shame. will wait and see until i get off my ass and fly there
>>223045649wow. lucas made black people real
any techno union army exhibit?
more pics pls
take a screenshot of the pictures upright and post those instead

The best one.
>>223045574>There is zero context or explanations for any exhibits though, so most of it won't be understood by visitors from outside LAwtf does that even mean? are people no longer able to see and appreciate art for what it is?

>>223046359fucking pure awesome vehicle
*has the high ground*
>>223045181did you actually go or did you steal these images from reddit or twitter?
>>223045375I saw that model back in the 90s in a traveling exhibit. Gorgeous greeblies.
>>223046493Noice>>223046487Yes, I went. Stealing things is for the word in this painting, which is on display in the museum.
>>223045982>wtf does that even mean? are people no longer able to see and appreciate art for what it is?Not OP, and also not a retard, so as a museum-goer I at least like to know what is an authentic original and what is a reproduction. Sorry this is so hard for you to even grasp before you felt the need to post
Looks cool. Reminds me of The Art of Star Wars exhibit from the early 2000s that was touring the world.
My neck hurts.
pesky tuskens
>>223046646I am retarded but I blame moot for the rotation issue.
i hate sand
>>223045375>He didn't show up, the lazy fuck.Was he actually listed as attending, or did you merely assume he was going to be there?
>>223046691right click - rotate
>>223046725I merely assumed, given how much money he spent on it.
>>223045181>>223045240>Kurosawa, Dune, Flash Gordon museum
>>223046746He'd already done press for it. He HATES interacting with fans.
>>223046616Kino
Is there any non-lucas tv or films displayed?Seems way emptier than I thought.
>>223046901Not much, the art exhibits, library etc are obviously non-Lucas (and I didn't explore everything, not interested in Banksy) but I didn't see any. There was a Batman suit but I don't know if it was part of a larger comics exhibit or just a costume.
you stupid retard, why didn't you listen? i'm not looking sideways at a bunch of pictures>>223045753
>>223046901A lots of different art. They also launched a book that features a cross-section of everything in the museum.https://www.taschen.com/en/books/art/08198/lucas-museum-of-narrative-art/
>>223046880>>223046909Prime examples right here. These are digitally created paintings. There is no "original", everything is just a printout. How many other pieces at this museum are similarly printed out replicas?Thanks for the pics OP. This looks more like a tax writeoff for George than an actual curated museum. I don't think I'll ever personally go there.
>>223045240Let's assume for a moment that's the actual screen-used Landspeeder (same one from the Magic of Myth tour and also the Peterson Automotive Museum displays)It was completely repainted green and sat in background shots for TPM. Therefore that's not the screen used paint job, but rather a restoration. Luke's outfit is 100% replica pieces for sure.
>>223046691Love the design of this, as a precursor to the Empire's speeders, though they were around as early as ROTS, with Jedi riding em. Looks like the same speeder manufacturer.
>>223047278The miniatures and most of the prequel items are genuine. The OT costumes and props are all replicas, and the McQuarrie art is all prints. Not sure about the Landspeeder, but I would presume replica.
>>223047801>The OT costumes and props are all replicasDo they expressly admit this on the tiny text plaques I see in some of your pics? I assumed as much on some pieces just due to how poorly they are protected. The Falcon model looks like you can reach out and touch it if you really really tried. Luke's outfit is clearly fake. But the Sail Barge model is a replica? Weird choice of such a less-popular model.
Where's Mike Stoklaska's museum???
>>223048185
>>223047974I'm not OP. From the photos I've seen there are no disclaimers on the plaques; the average person doesn't know and simply doesn't care about such details. The miniatures are all behind glass but you can get quite close. By props I mean handheld items like sabers and blasters; the miniatures are all real, from what I can see, including the barge however I'm not familiar with its history so I can't say for certain.
Any Luke standing next to Bigger Luke expositions?
>>223048915To be fair I imagine most stars were given their sabers as I know Liam has his
