Dreams and Visions Press (via Ralph McQuarrie’s facebook page) is pleased to announce the forthcoming publication of “Remembering Ralph McQuarrie: Dreamer and Visionary”, a 48-page book of unpublished artwork, rare photographs, and loving tributes from dozens of Ralph’s colleagues, friends and fans. The book will be available at The Art of Ralph McQuarrie booth at Star Wars Celebration VI next month, as well as through the Dreams and Visions Press website for $20.
This past weekend a light went out in the universe as Ralph McQuarrie passed away at the age of 82. The concept artist of the original trilogy, the artist took Lucas’ words and created visions of a galaxy far, far away that would inspire generations of artists to come. It is to the memory of this great visionary that Marjorie, Arnie, and the crew of Star Wars Action News dedicate our latest podcast. He will be missed.
Also on this week’s show, Marjorie and Arnie review the latest wave of Vintage figures–the deleted scene wave featuring Luke, Leia, Lando, Cracken, and a Mon Calamari A-Wing pilot. With a discussion on the ethics of figure hiding, new store discounts, and more, it’s all in this week’s Star Wars Action News Podcast!
