Celebration Anaheim 2015: Ralph McQuarrie Star Wars Art Panel
Ralph McQuarrie: Star Wars ArtThis panel was quite a surprise. Not because of the book being created but what has happened to bring it to the fans. Star Wars Art: Ralph McQuarrie will be the sixth book in the Star Wars Art series, after Visions, Comics, Illustrations, Concept and Posters. JW Rinzler said that there would be at least one more title in the Star Wars Art series, but he's not sure when or what it might be. For now, Art: McQuarrie will be available later in 2016, presumably October (even thought the panel write-up indicates Spring) as with the other volumes.
Fri. April 17| 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM | Behind–The–Scenes Stage
Lucasfilm executive editor J.W. Rinzler, Abrams senior editor Eric Klopfer and authors Brandon Alinger, David Mandel and Wade Lageose discuss the seminal Star Wars artist and the upcoming book on his work. The new Abrams publication, set for release in Spring 2016, will be the most comprehensive volume of Ralph McQuarrie’s extensive Star Wars work ever assembled. McQuarrie’s long history with Lucasfilm will be covered in the discussion, from his early days working directly with George Lucas through the publications he worked on in the mid-90s. The team will talk about the process of creating the coffee-table book and show many highlight artworks in this exclusive preview.
