George Lucas’s $1 billion museum opened this year to mixed reviews, with *The Economist* calling it a “behemoth” that has achieved “so little” despite its scale and cost. The publication’s *The Intelligence* podcast featured a segment on the museum, where correspondent Alexandra Suich Bass visited the site and assessed its underwhelming impact .
The museum’s design has drawn comparisons to a “white spaceship” from the outside, while its interior resembles a “prop-heavy Hollywood set,” according to a separate *Economist* post . Another report noted the contrast between the Death Star’s planet-destroying scale in *Star Wars* and the museum’s more modest approach to attracting attention .

Vinikunka, poznatija kao Rejnbou Mauntin, odnosno Planina sedam boja, pruža se kroz surov pejzaž južnog Perua i na prvi pogled deluje gotovo nestvarno.
