Episode 5: "The Gunslinger".

ILM VFX supervisor Richard Bluff: “When Mando flies toward Tatooine, we are actually seeing the [Ralph McQuarrie] matte painting seen early in the original film”.

A trip to the ILM archives to reshot some old matte paintings. 1/3

De hecho McQuarrie creó escenas que fueron representadas de manera casi idéntica en el film.

George Lucas siguió contando con McQuarrie en "El Imperio Contraataca" que siguió creando las referencias para elementos como los AT-AT, la Ciudad de las Nubes en Bespin o esa especie de duende que sería Yoda.

Futurist. Master. Visionary.

Today we lost Syd Mead, an artist well-known for his work on Aliens, Tron, and Blade Runner. An icon for his detailed work, Mead was part of a trinity of artists who stoked my imagination as a child (Mead, McQuarrie & Frazetta).

Farewell, Syd

Un-used Star Wars image. This image was concept art by Ralph McQuarrie for Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes back. It depicts an egg-laying alien creature on Dagobah, the planet where Yoda went into exile. It never made it past the drawing board. Amazing nonetheless

“The cover for Myths and Fables... They wanted to pay homage to real world fairytales, drawing inspiration from the warm whimsical painterly works of NC Wyeth, mixed with original concepts from Ralph McQuarrie.” - illustrator Grant Griffin
