The fact that the look of the animated series Star Wars Rebels being inspired by this art just makes it satisfying

He and Lucas worked together to make something beautiful

I like that a lot of the art that didn’t make it into the OT were still used eventually even if it was over 40-50 years later. Like that bug-looking cylindrical pods on grassy plains being used for Lothal in Rebels or that the original designs for Courasant influencing the design of some worlds from 2007 SW:CW like the capital city on Mandalore. It just seems like Sci-Fi art from the 70’s/80’s were just so otherworldly and I think that’s something we’ve lost currently in the genre.

THIS is what some of the re-boots should be like...as a matter of fact...I would go for and be up for an animated film and or film series of this before live action ones were done.

I have the RMQ two part book with all his artwork and I heavily recommend it to anyone interested in his work and Star Wars as a whole

4:03 Those mounds look like on Lothal in "Rebels", including the hidden Jedi Temple there.

I slowed this down to half speed, now I can truly enjoy the depth of his amazing art work

2:44 krykna concept

4:13 imperial construction module concept on the left

All my respect to McQuarrie for giving Star Wars the visuality it has, of course, some of this was altered, but we wouldnt have this without him, i always loved how star wars didnt just feel futurist, it felt other worldly.

Why is concept art always ten times more terrifying than the final product

McQuarrie on Star Wars- I just did my best to depict what I thought the film should look like, I really liked the idea. I didn't think the film would ever get made. My impression was it was too expensive. There wouldn't be enough of an audience. It's just too complicated. But George knew a lot of things that I didn't know.

1:30 It looks like the capital city of lothal!

2:34 That's the slug that ate R2 and spit him out?

I want a whole remake trilogy based on or even a direct copy of the concept art and concept scripts. Shot on the same cameas they used for the OG trilogy but with modern day special effects. Ralph Mcquarrie's STAR WARS It would be BEAUTIFUL.

It's nice a lot of this art was used in Clone Wars and Rebels

Oh, so that's where Star Wars came from

The Vader's TIE at 1:03 looks very brothers Hildebrandt.

Awesome, when Star Wars was Star Wars. No woke agenda just pure content and story line. Sad what it has turned into…

God, what he would have conceived for the sequels is 100% spine tingling.

You can very easily see Morrowind's influence from Star Wars in this artwork. Also, very interesting is that most city art was fully realized in the Prequel Trilogy instead of the Original Trilogy due to technology limitations.

Thanks for this upload, this is fantastic. So did this come entirely from Ralph or was it a joint thing between him and Lucas and whoever else and they sat down together? Was some of it Lucas saying "Hey can you draw this for me?". I'm not a huge Star Wars guy but I do love the old movies and this is very fascinating to me. Although my favorite Lucas film is still THX (If you can find the original. He didn't quite destroy the original with that one but he almost did) Also what do you guys think of that original Yoda concept? Is it good that they made the changes they did? I'm torn, I kind of would have liked to see the one in that picture haha

What beautiful art, so inspired

2:05 I thought this one was for Attack of the Clones (could bebwrong though)

Lucas provided the genetics and Ralph made the skin

0:57 I think this inspired Luke's battle against Lord Vader in the Empire Strikes back

4:29 would have been nice to see the Jedi temple/Imperial Palace again in the original trilogy

This feels uncanny. Specially episode 1

4:55… WFT???????????

This video made my day… No A.I Great music.

i love how chopper was supposed to be r2 lol

They should make these animation come alive sure they can do it with today's technology

George Lucas, Ralph McQuarrie and John Williams, the fathers of Star Wars.

Really impressive artworks by ralph McQuarrie, I would have loved getting an artwork with his signature.

Awesome... thank you so much 👍🏼

The original Coruscant was pretty utopian-ish when you ignore the gothic Imperial Palace.

I think star wars as an animated movie instead of a live action one would work pretty well since animation is limitless & considering the filmmaking technology of 1977 couldn't achieve some of the elements of these matte paintings, where nowadays digital compositing softwares & cgi can achieve it almost perfectly.

His concept art has a well-grounded reality which many others could never replicate. I'm looking at you Doug Chiang.

i honestly like the way lightsabers gradually get weaker as they head farther from the hilt. like an actual plasma blade. i also wished they kept the darth vader design.

If disney ever reboots star wars or creates an alternative version of it they should use all of the unused designs from the new hope concept art

in my opinion he's one of the greatest artists of all time. No joke, up there with michelangelo and dali. Just the amount of emotion and inventiveness is mindbreaking

I see that Filoni took inspirations from these to make Rebels ex:Zeb was the original Chewbacca and he designed Vader's mask similar to his original concept

Why don't most people give him credit. He almost singlehandedly created the star wars universe. Genius pure Genius.

Ralph Mcquarrie's artwork is beyond amazing, I can go as much to say that it is very divine and absolutely beautiful. When I first found out about it years ago, I had to buy any toy I can find that had Ralph Mcquarrie concept art in front of it. I can look at his art over and over again and it never gets old! I remeber playing Jedi fallen order and saw that they made a flame trooper which was a nod to his concept art of the snow troopers. I get so excited any time I see new characters or troopers that draw inspiration from Ralphs concept art. I don't really watch rebels but thought it was very cool how they use the concept art of Chewbacca to make Zeb and also Jedi master Tapal from fallen order and using his stormtrooper concept for the TK troopers in the bad batch. I really look forward to seeing more of his concepts resurrected and used

Before VCRs I collected Topps Empire Strikes Back cards. I wondered why someone went to the trouble of making a painting of what appeared on the screen. I just wanted the cards with screen shots!

I knew George Lucas took much from Dune But at 1:46 there is a figure which looks like a guild navigator. Was it planned by Lucas to include them too?

Guys... you know ralph is from the Simpsons so you can, t praise him or he, ll go bonkers

0:14 Fun Fact: It was this painting that actually sold Anthony Daniels on Star Wars. He came in to audition for C-3P0, but when he read the script was like "What kind of a story is this" but then he walked into the screentest and saw this painting and thought it was looking at him like "You're the one, come to me." and then he felt like he had to get this part. Then years later he met MacQuarrie and said to him "You! This is all your fault!" and the rest is history.

A lot of unused concept art created by this genius was carried out into more recent Star War projects, such as Clone Wars, Rebels, Rogue One, the Sequel Trilogy and The Mandalorian.

2:45 I can’t believe that art come to life on The Mandalorian season 2
