“Star Wars” creator George Lucas has revealed that he had plans to direct three more movies in a galaxy far, far away before he retired from directing upon completing “Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.”

Lucas sat down with Norah O’Donnell for an interview on “CBS Sunday Morning” to discuss his career and the opening of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles. The $1.5 billion museum has 1,200 pieces of art from Lucas’ private collection, including various paintings, photography, sculpture and original props, costumes and vehicles from the “Star Wars” films. The museum totals 300,000 square feet, with 35 galleries spread across a 13-acre campus.
