Book Presentation:
A gorgeous tribute to cinema’s most beloved and influential concept artist—presented in a two-hardcover-volume, slipcased gift set.
Ralph McQuarrie is the most iconic artist in the history of Star Wars. He worked hand in hand with George Lucas to help establish the saga’s visual aesthetic, its inimitable look and feel.
Beyond designing Darth Vader, C-3PO, and R2-D2, McQuarrie produced hundreds of pieces of Star Wars artwork, including conceptual paintings, costume designs, storyboards, and matte paintings, as well as posters, book covers, and album covers—even Lucasfilm’s annual holiday cards—all rescanned and rephotographed for this book.
Compiled by Brandon Alinger, Wade Lageose, and Emmy Award–winning writer David Mandel, Star Wars Art: Ralph McQuarrie shares the most definitive collection of the artist’s Star Wars work ever assembled, including hundreds of never-before-seen illustrations. Rare unpublished interviews, as well as recollections from McQuarrie’s colleagues and friends, complement and contextualize the art.
“The galaxy far, far away will seem a lot closer once you have this collection on your coffee table.” —Variety
