Prequel Rewrite - Concept Art

As I think we all know, Ralph McQuarrie's Concept Art for Star Wars was critical in making the whole thing the huge success that it is.

Since I can't have Mr. McQuarrie paint me some fancy pictures, I look for interesting looking "concept art" anywhere I can find it.  I'll be posting some interesting Star Warsian pics here... feel free to do so too. 

IT'S MY TRILOGY, AND I WANT IT NOW!

"Yeah, well, George says a lot of things..." a young 1997 xhonzi on RASSM

"They're my movies." -George Lucas. 19 people won oscars for their work on Star Wars (1977) and George Lucas wasn't one of them.

Palpatine in a volcano?

So he's behind all the trouble in Europe...

Excellent thread. For many ships I want to blend OT styling with art deco - not entirely streamlined but more clunky (the second is newer but awesome):

I would want them to still feel like precursors to OT technology.

This is neither here not there, but I think it adds something:

This is not a lightsaber. Nor a euphemism.

I think this is a really cool idea! Although, a lot of the formerly rejected McQuarrie art WAS used a lot in the prequels.

^ I think I've seen those pics before.  Where did they come from?  Or am I just imagining things again?

You mean the pics in my signature? I photoshopped them myself, so if you've seen them before then you either saw them on my DeviantART account, or my Wookiepedia user page. :)
