Jar Jarbie, a Mickey and Grogu Teamup, and More Winners from the Lucasfilm Chalk Festival
Creatives from Lucasfilm’s Southern California base make their Chalk Art Festival debut.
On October 5 Lucasfilm hosted its 11th annual employee Sidewalk Chalk Art Festival at its San Francisco headquarters, with an exciting new addition for 2023 – Lucasfilm’s office in Burbank joined the Festival this year, adding 11 amazing entries to the event’s 29 total on their own campus sidewalks. Braving the late summer California heat at both locales, artists from Lucasfilm and their Disney colleagues turned in a delightful mix of illustrations based on Lucasfilm, Disney, and other properties, with many of the San Francisco entries finding inspiration in a certain recent summer blockbuster.
