RIP Ralph McQuarrie - Star Wars artist/designer :(

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Without him, no Star Wars, no Battlestar Galactica, no E.T., no Cocoon...

A true master in his art.

RIP man Ralph... :cry:

i wonder if he was the one that came up with idea for that fat blue elephant guy who played the organ in Jabba's palace.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

Absolutely gutted. :(

The conceptual art for Star Wars alone made him a total legend in my eyes.

RIP.
