His name is unknown among most people unless you are a Sci Fi fan or in the entertainment industry, there will be no parade, there will be no coverage of his funeral on the radio and probably only a 5 second blurb on the news. He wasn't a junkie crackhead from new jersey who killed himself. He was a humble man who helped envision a galaxy far far away. For that reason he was a great man. God bless you and rest in peace. about an hour ago ?

I have owned the Illustrated Star Wars Universe since it was printed. Everyone should. You'd be hard pressed to find a more talented artist.

George Lucas's brain might have come up with Star Wars, but Ralph McQuarrie's pencil showed it to us.

RIP
