I am glad the original trilogy fits Ralph's Designs fairly closely minus small details.

Had the originals been designed by Ryan Church this site would probably not exist.

one of the biggest problems of the prequels is it did not follow those original ralph designs and concepts, the used universe. The prequels looked like a videogame and nothing like the originals.

Doug Chiang style was different but he tried to incorpate ralph's ideas into his design paintings, he wanted to honor those designs somewhat. He was not involved in episode II and III to a great detriment to those films.

His art was more art noveau instead of art deco like Ralph's. Still his porfolio was collectible and sold out. He made a book called Robotica which he worked on with Ralph i think.

Those who hate Ralphs work also hate real star wars as the prequels are not real star wars movies. I'm going to buy the book the art of Ralph Mcqaurrie as soon as i have enough money as the trade edition is a 150.00 bucks from a small press.
