George Lucas finally opened his Los Angeles based Museum dedicated to the narrative arts. As opined by its founder, “Narrative art tells the story of a society—what the common beliefs are that hold it together.” Its galleries range from children's stories to comics to fantasy to classical and modern art to Lucasfilm production art and props and costumes.
The BBC were invited to a preview and recorded this video.

| As I did with the progression of the Virtual Edition Episode X, I will post below sections of the prose for Episode XI as I draft it.... here, we return to the cold planetoid under investigation by Master Jedi Flo-Ra and the Jedi Knight Jannee....

Master Jedi Flo-Ra nodded as the latest data was summarised on her pad. Beside her, feeling pleased with itself as only a service droid could, sat Ar-Seven Bee-Three-Two. The vast crater that they and Jedi Knight Jannee were in dwarfed them in scale, its towering walls a mere craggy line encircling them in the distance. Boulders of varying sizes sat strewn in patient silence awaiting their cosmic fate. The white landing lights on the purple-liveried P-Wing starship blinked in a steady rhythm.
The droid beeped and warbled, and Flo-Ra responded to the helmet’s translation.
“Declination 37 degrees north, right ascension three, two off the ecliptic.”
Jannee was some distance away, slowly making her way across the dusty surface to rejoin them. She shared the open comm.
“So somewhere over there,” she announced, half turning and pointing up into the starry night, a faint golden celestial hue marking its thin atmosphere.
Flo-Ra glanced up at her companion and nodded.
“That’s right. Now we might be able to calculate what worlds lie along that trajectory.”
The Jedi Master returned her attention to the datapad and tapped a command.
“We could do that ?” asked Jannee. “I thought that clever trickery would have to wait until we got back to Coruscant ?”
“Sure, the detailed finesse can wait, but it might be helpful for us if we have an idea as to who is out there...”
Under her own helmet, Jannee couldn’t help but smile.
“And perhaps extend our own investigations, right ?”
“Possibly,” came the reply, but not without a hint of smug irony. “I’m sure Master Leia would be grateful if we could carry on with the leg work out here...”
Jannee chuckled, and continued traversing past the boulders.
Just then a bright purple light exploded in the area that had been loosely gestured by Jannee moments earlier. The flash and the Force itself caught the attention of the two Jedi, and they both looked up. The ball of purple energy was growing larger at an alarming rate, and was clearly progressing towards the planetoid they were stood on by the second !
“Master !” Jannee called out, her panic clearly conveyed through the transponder. “What can we do ?!”
“Force jump to the ship !” commanded Flo-Ra. “Inconcerto !”
Augmenting their powers together, the two Jedi vaulted across the dusty surface towards their P-Wing.
Left behind, the droid Ar-Seven trilled forlornly.
The Jedi landed near the boarding hatch of the ship. Jannee couldn’t help but glance towards the purple gobbet of energy.
Its trajectory was not targeting them, but still the vector was going to cause it to make contact just on the far side of their crater wall.
Kinetic energy at the lead shock wave hit the planetoid and blew outwards across its cratered surface.
The two Jedi turned and saw loose boulders tumbling over the crater wall and then a dust cloud built up that hurtled towards them, obscuring the horizon view. A large purple explosion, partially dulled by the low dust cloud, erupted at the contact point and billowed upward and outward.
Within her helmet, Flo-Ra heard their droid squeal in shock, and then, as she saw it be lifted up and spun, she felt herself also be thrown back and tumbled. She had a brief recognition that Jannee was also being somersaulted from the surface and their P-Wing being ungainly rolled off its three landing struts.
Dust and rocks and boulders encompassed her spinning view. Flailing impotently, she was aware the surface was receeding further and further away at an alarming rate. As she lost consciousness, she thought she heard Grand Master Leia’s voice call out her name.
