I'm sure we're all familiar with the Ralph McQuarrie painting of Chewbacca's house with Lumpy balancing on the rail.  In a way, because McQuarrie did it, it's something that truly gives the Special a legitimacy it might otherwise not have.  That, and much of the conceptual art that SKot has at his site.  The program was taken seriously by some talented people who did excellent work.  [Too bad the rest of the production didn't rise to the same level.]

When and where did that painting see print?

I _assume_ that it was created specifically for the Special because we can see Lumpy.

So does anyone know whence it came?  And, equally important, whether it's possible to find a larger, higher-resolution image than what's generally available?
