The new Lucas Museum of Narrative Art opens to the public on Tuesday in Los Angeles. The $1 billion project has become the life's work of “Star Wars” creator George Lucas and his wife, Mellody Hobson. The museum features a mix of populist and fine art, including works by Norman Rockwell and Banksy. Outside, visitors can see sculptures like Princess Leia choking Jabba the Hutt from “Return of the Jedi.” Inside, a Frida Kahlo self-portrait and Cassius Marcellus Coolidge’s “Poker Game” highlight the blend of high and low art. Architect Ma Yansong designed the building with a unique oculus, offering a glimpse of the sky.
