“George told me this when we had Everest. He said, 'Mellody, with a child, there is no highway,'” Hobson recalled. "He said, 'You live in a world where it's my way or the highway. You can put anyone on the highway, including a spouse. You have people who work for you.' He's like, 'It's my way or the highway, but there's no highway with a child.' He's like, 'And that is going to be your learning,'” she added.

For readers of dystopian science fiction classics - like Aldous Huxley's Brave New World - aspects of THX 1138 will feel very familiar, but remixed with a brilliant minimalist arthouse flair. This is the kind of science fiction film Terry Gilliam wishes he could have made at some point, or, to put it another way, a non-campy version of 1976's Logan's Run.

The museum will include over 40,000 works of "narrative art," ranging from murals to comic book art and, of course, cinematic artifacts. Among those are the Lucas Archives, "containing models, props, concept art, and costumes from Lucas's filmmaking career," which presumably includes at least a few Star Wars relics. It sounds like Lucas's filmmaking memorabilia will be just a small part of the museum, which is dedicated to illustrated storytelling broadly. Its 35 galleries will include themes like family, childhood, sports, and adventure.

Star Wars creator George Lucas has bought a 40million home in London and is hoping to spend more time in the capital, according to reports. The American film-maker is understood to have bought a property in St John's Wood in September, with the sale believed to be one of the most expensive property deals in the UK this year. The 81-year-old is rumoured to be critical of US President Donald Trump, a source close to the deal explained.
