From The Art of Ralph McQuarrie: pg.297

Quote:"In 1995, I was asked to work on a book titled The Illustrated Star Wars Universe.  I really wasn't sure if I could do it, because I was sort of through with Star Wars.  I looked at some of the things I didn't gt a chance to do during the films that I thought I could finally complete, and I signed up for it.  It was really quite a pleasure.  These are a few of my favorite paintings from that book.

The "Jawa swap-meet on Tatooine" is the second of the images shown.

You always learn something. What other paintings did he paint in the 90s? I thought he only did some art for toys.
