joequinones: Yesterday I learned that the great Ralph McQuarrie had passed away. He, of course, was the man responsible for designing the look of Star Wars.

He will be missed. Above is a piece I did in 2010 for Dark Horse’s Star Wars: Knight Errant series. It is an homage to McQuarrie’s famous concept art of Darth Vadar and Luke’s first confrontation.
