After 16 years, three cities, and a reported $1 billion, the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art is finally opening in Los Angeles ! During Member Previews, we got to experience so many amazing things - including Episode 1 of Star Wars: Detours !! This series was nearly complete when Disney bought Lucasfilm in 2012 and shelved it.
