Ralph Mcquarrie star wars art book

[DanProsser]

Hi Guys
Does anybody know of a book that is a nice collection of Ralph Mcquarrie's Star Wars concept art? I though a book entitled Star Wars Art; Concept would be a good bet but its only got a few pieces by him and the majority of the art in there is from the prequel trilogy and video games. Disappointed.

Hi Dan,

The Illustrated Star Wars Universe is awesome Art by Ralph McQuarrie, text by Kevin J Anderson.

There is also this book which covers pretty much everything and was published by Dreams & Visions Press some years ago:

Good luck finding a cheap copy though!

They are also publishing an RMQ archives book later this year:

It seems its about time that Disney printed a proper large collection of all that great concept art in a nice hardback book.

Yeah if there was/is a book with all his Star Wars concept paintings I would love to buy that. I think it is by far the best Star Wars art I have seen.
