The very first piece of SW merchandise I can ever remember having was the Star Wars portfolio. I liked McQuarrie's designs better sometimes than what appeared in the finished film.
The ROTJ portfolio was one of my first SW items. I finally collected all 3 (the SW set was especially hard to find in the 1980s) and they were always among my most prized collectibles. I like the fact that some of the images are so different from the finished films--- they're fun to look at as "alternate" visions of the trilogy.
I'm very sorry to hear of his passing. There will never be another artist like him.
