The Lucas Museum has finally announced its inaugural cinema exhibition, ‘Star Wars in Motion,’ ahead of its September opening

The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles has announced its inaugural cinema exhibition, 'Star Wars in Motion,' ahead of its September 22, 2026 opening. The exhibition will feature props, costumes, vehicles, and illustrations from the first six Star Wars films, including Luke's Landspeeder and General Grievous's Wheel Bike, showcasing the franchise's iconic designs and visual storytelling.

This exhibition matters because it marks the first major public display from the Lucas Museum's founding collection of over 40,000 works, positioning the institution as a significant new cultural destination in Exposition Park. By centering on cinematic world-building, the museum aims to elevate narrative art across mediums, bridging historical illustration, fine art, and modern film in a dedicated 300,000-square-foot space.
