George Lucas lands in Teterboro a week before the Star Wars Celebration 2026 kickoff

George Lucas flew from Boeing Field in Seattle to Teterboro Airport on May 21, a four-hour-ten-minute hop across the continent aboard his Gulfstream V, N138GL. The flight came after a two-day stop in the Pacific Northwest, following weeks of shuttling between California, Florida, and the New York area.

The same week, Star Wars Celebration 2026 is about to begin just across the Hudson River at the Javits Center in Manhattan, running from May 25 through May 28. The convention is expected to draw tens of thousands of fans, with panels, exclusives, and — per Lucasfilm's schedule — a rare on-stage appearance by the franchise's creator.

Lucas has made the trip from the West Coast to the Teterboro-area more than half a dozen times this year alone, per recent flight data. This particular routing, Seattle to North Jersey, appears to be a brief detour: his aircraft is based in Oakland and his primary residence and Skywalker Ranch remain in Marin County. The Teterboro arrival, then, likely functions as a staging point for the biggest week on the 'Star Wars' calendar — a short car ride to the convention floor where Lucas is expected to meet fans and discuss the future of the galaxy he built.
