Click here to read about a huge new volume highlighting the work of visionary artist and Star Wars conceptual designer Ralph McQuarrie. The singular impact on pop-culture of this one artist can not be understated. He is undoubtedly responsible directly or indirectly for inspiring many of Hollywood's top film makers and visual effects practitioners. I can certainly remember as a kid basically accepting his work as "real." I could never quite figure out the bit about how there was a guy who was not the director but who somehow was "the man" in terms of how everything looked in the film. And then I thought about how cool it would be to be that dude. Well, that hasn't exactly happened... But at least I am involved in making movies!
