Ralph McQuarrie , the concept artist for the original Star Wars trilogy, passed away a few weeks ago. His work raised the bar and forever changed the landscape for science fiction. Watching the Star Wars movies as a little kid, I naturally had no idea who he was. But a few years later, I discovered the "Art of Star Wars" books at the library, and I was blown away. I certainly knew who he was from that point on!

As a tribute, here's a re-imagining of a well known scene from Star Wars, re-cast with the concept versions of Chewbacca and R2-D2.

In honor of Mr. McQuarrie's passing, we should all go create new worlds and new lifeforms... or at the very least, get some drawing done!
