I agree. Call me weird, but for a very long while now I've attributed more of the original Star Wars' success to McQuarrie than anybody else. How much of the story, world, and characters would have been very cliche and boring had it not been for his great paintings capturing the imagination of Lucas and others? Most of the visual magic in the series comes straight from his mind.
