Oh definitely, Williamson was the best Star Wars comic artist there ever was. 

Ultimately,  I think that's why I haven't purchased any Star Wars comics.  There are some very nice covers these days, no doubt. However, nothing takes me to that galaxy far far away the way Williamson did. Not even close.

With his work, I'm in the story, on the adventure. With the new stuff, I'm looking at someone's drawing of it. Williamson captured the strange and very distant universe the same way McQuarrie did with his illustrations, or Jung in the original one-sheet.
