Lucasfilm released a portion of the mural by Jason Palmer that it plans to unveil at Star Wars Celebration Chicago.
The mural will represent every Star Wars film up to and including Episode IX as well as the Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels animated series, with each movie and show being given an equal amount of space on the piece. At 10-feet-tall and 88-feet-long, the mural is meant to encapsulate the entire Star Wars saga and Lucasfilm Vice President and Executive Creative Director Doug Chiang discussed how the idea came about:
“The original idea came from [Lucasfilm President] Kathy Kennedy. She asked if we could create a piece of art that would encapsulate the entire Star Wars saga, visually representing the complete stories of Star Wars through art. In thinking about how to fulfill Kathy’s wish, the idea of creating a giant mural timeline was born.”
