“I’ll build this museum while I’m still alive!” — The Lucas Museum

In this episode, I share the story behind George Lucas’s long-awaited Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, opening on September 22, 2026. Despite setbacks in multiple cities and years of delays, Lucas stayed committed to the project. His simple but powerful line — “I’ll build this museum while I’m still alive” — reflects his belief in stories and in creating a place where young people can experience them.It’s a short reflection on determination, creativity, and what it means to bring a vision to life, even late in one’s life.
