SAN DIEGO (AP) — George Lucas is finally coming to the stage at Comic-Con. And while “Star Wars” is sure to get a mention, the 81-year-old is making his debut appearance at the San Diego pop cultural extravaganza for a more earthbound reason: a preview of his long-in-the-works Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles.

George Lucas made his first-ever appearance at San Diego Comic-Con, alongside Guillermo del Toro and Doug Chiang, to preview the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, which is set to open in 2026.

Filmmaking legend George Lucas made an appearance at Comic-Con International for the first time ever on Sunday, where he shared some of his perspectives about humanity, society and storytelling as part of a preview for his new Los Angeles museum that will be dedicated to narrative art.
