Yeah, I think the title of this thread is perhaps a bit tasteless.

Ralph McQuarrie's art not only inspired the look of Star Wars, but has also inspired several generations of artists, writers and producers.   I remember first seeing his Star Wars production art as a young boy doing research on Star Wars and ILM at my local library.

I own a couple of prints by the man, and they've always inspired me.
