Showcasing Star Wars Concept Art from the incomparable Ralph McQuarrie today.... How this portfolio managed to get through my teenage and college years without the art cards being tacked to a wall, and ruined, I'll never know!

La Radiant VII, un creuer consular de la República, utilitzada principalment per Obi-Wan i Qui-Gon Jinn per anar a negociar un tractat a Naboo. M'agrada perquè és de les naus de la preqüela que té un estil més 'Ralph McQuarrie'. Pràctica i poc elegant, amb tres motors enormes.

El diseño de Darth Vader en Star Wars Rebels es mi favorito de todos los del personaje.

Me parece muy imponente y además es un gran homenaje a los diseños originales de Ralph McQuarrie. https://t.co/78w8AHFkr2

I love when concept art eventually gets used in a future project.

Seeing the white spiders finally being translated from Ralph McQuarrie’s art to live action in The Mandalorian was such a treat.

Phantom Menace might not be a flawless film, but Doug Chiangs concept art is excellent. It evokes old Mcquarrie & Gourney.
