ILM is celebrating its 50th birthday, George Lucas is going to SDCC, Star Wars cosmetics returning to Fall Guys, and everything else that happened in the week of July 5 – July 11, 2025.
George Lucas will be at SDCC 2025
For the first time ever, George Lucas is attending San Diego Comic Con. It will be later this month. Lucas will be joined by Guillermo del Toro and Doug Chiang on a panel to promote the new Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. The panel will be on July 27 (Sunday), in Hall H. The exact hour is yet to be announced.
George Lucas’ attendance at SDCC is a unique event. I hope it’s a very insightful panel that takes us through a small journey. Especially with the presence of Doug Chiang and Del Toro, who are incredible artists themselves.
I’m sure most of the audience will be itching to ask George Lucas his thoughts on many Star Wars topics, but it’s unlikely that the organizers will let that happen without his own consent. Nonetheless, it’s going to be a must-watch panel for anyone who is a fan of Star Wars.
ILM turns 50 years old
It’s been half a century since Industrial Light and Magic was put together by George Lucas to help develop A New Hope. Their groundbreaking techniques, combined with their eternal pursuit of technological innovation, redefined the world of visual storytelling.
Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Transformers, Jumanji, Pirates of the Caribbean, Rango, Avatar, TRON, Back to the Future, Indiana Jones, Star Trek, The Mummy, Men in Black, Dragonheart, Terminator, Avengers, and Alien are just some of the projects ILM has contributed to creating. Without George Lucas and ILM, the world of cinema wouldn’t be the same.
