Star Wars visionary Ralph McQuarrie has passed away It’s a sad day in fandom: The man who gave Star Wars its first images passed away yesterday. Originally commissioned by George Lucas to illustrate scenes from the Star Wars script in 1975, Ralph McQuarrie was the first – and certainly the most well-known – concept artist for the saga. On StarWars.com, Lucas said: “When words could not convey my ideas, I could always point to one of Ralph’s fabulous illustrations and say, ‘Do it like this.’” In addition to the original trilogy, McQuarrie also worked on Close Encounters of the Third Kind, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and Cocoon, for which he won an Academy Award. McQuarrie was 82. His official site is asking for memorials to be posted to his Facebook page or via email. Sunday reader: George stole Chewbacca?!?

Umro Ralph McQuarrie, jedan od najvećih vizionara Star Warsa "Ralph McQuarrie bio je prva osoba koju sam angažirao da mi pomogne u 'Zvjezdanim ratovima", kazao je redatelj slavne trilogije George Lucas Svojevrsni „otac" Chewbacce, Dartha Vadera te slavnih robota R2-D2 i C-3PO-a, konceptulani dizajner i oskarovac Ralph McQuarrie, umro je prekjučer u 83. godini života, prenosi Hina. Redatelj George Lucas zahvalio je McQuarrieju što je njegovu viziju "Zvjezdanih ratova" prenio na veliki ekran. Lucas ga je nazvao vizionarom i skromnim čovjekom. "Ralph McQuarrie bio je prva osoba koju sam angažirao da mi pomogne u 'Zvjezdanim ratovima', bio je genijalac čiji je doprinos inspirirao glumačku i tehničku postavu izvorne trilogije", kazao je Lucas. "Kada riječima nisam mogao prenijeti svoje ideje, samo sam pokazao na njegove ilustracije i rekao, 'napravite to ovako'", izjavio je Lucas. McQuarrie je radio i na koceptualnom dizajnu izvorne televizijske serije "Galactica" i filmovima "E.T." i "Bliski susreti treće vrste". Za rad na filmu "Čahura" 1985. dobio je Oscara za vizualne efekte.
