There's a Lucasfilm webisode about the design of episode I. Doug Chiang says something like, "there was a lot I liked about the design of [the original] Star Wars, but there were a lot of things I DIDN'T like. So at home I'd draw MY version of what an X-Wing fighter should look like..."
So this is who they picked to design new Star Wars movies? SMH.
I was never a fan of his art, really. It just didn't have the same feel as McQuarrie's, obviously.
