While George Lucas was widely known as the creator of Star Wars, he did not do it alone. Even though Lucas was as confident as he could be in his story and characters, he knew he would need help to bring them to life. Enter Ralph McQuarrie. If you are not familiar with the name Ralph McQuarrie, you are definitely familiar with his work. He had done artwork for E.T, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, just to name a few. However, he may be best known for the concept art which brought Star Wars characters like Darth Vader, C-3PO, and R2-D2 to life. This is supposed to be a list, but as far as I can tell, there are no official names for each artwork he did for the films.

All of these pieces are fantastic.

In The Phantom Menace, Qui-Gon identifies Anakin as the Chosen One through his unprecedented midi-chlorian count and subsequently displayed inherent strength in the Force. But given the original trilogy and sequel trilogy, is Anakin still viewed as the Chosen One, given his fall to the darkness and Rey’s later ascendance to eliminate the remaining Sith?

Solo: A Star Wars Story is a film that did not do so well at the box office but seemed to set up threads to be continued later on. Viewers who saw it in the theater and much later on via home video or streaming have expressed that it was a fun movie and that they would like a proper sequel, hence the #MakeSolo2Happen campaign. Co-writer Jonathan Kasdan himself has said that the end of the film was the end of Act 2 of Han and Qi'ra, and that Act 3 had yet to play out.
