The exhibition area is about 25,000 square feet in size, plenty of space for the entire Lucas Empire. And that includes not only pieces from the “Star Wars”Prop, but also Material from the films “Blade Runner”, “Toy Story,” “Avatar,” the “Indiana Jones”series or “Metropolis”. In addition, it is also exhibited art from the private collection of George Lucas, including works by Norman Rockwell, N. C. Wyeth, Edgar Degas and Pierre-Auguste Renoir.

Proud of the Museum’s website announced that due to the construction of 1500 Jobs would be created and guaranteed for future Museum operation 350 jobs. The taxpayers of the Entire costs nothing. George Lucas financed the project out of his own pocket – with more than a billion dollars.
The Museum is not the only education project that would like to support George Lucas so generously. After the sale of the “Star Wars”rights to Disney in 2012, Lucas’ assets have grown to over five billion dollars. Half of them he wanted to ask for charitable purposes, he promised at the time. With the Museum, he has done his first step. The construction works will begin, according to the “Los Angeles Times” this year. In 2021, the opening is planned.
