It's an amazing experience to review McQuarrie's concept art...it's like, for a while, you can forget all about Jar Jar and Ewoks and UNNNNNLIMITED POWWWWWERRR! and poodoo and Elan Sleazebagganno and General Grievous and unconvincing acting against bluescreens and shrieking lizards and gigantic grazing ticks and awkward "love stories" and establishing shot theater and Darth Emo and fan rifts and Dexter Jettser and countless lightsabres ruining the unique surprise value of the weapon and the Flying Jedi Brothers and suppression of classic films and confusing space battles and gratuitous fight scenes and every other scene in CGI and Rick McCallum; instead, you look at McQuarrie's art and it's as though it's about 35 years ago and you're in the young George Lucas' inner circle, getting your first glimpse "into a larger world".
