As I think we all know, Ralph McQuarrie's Concept Art for Star Wars was critical in making the whole thing the huge success that it is.

Since I can't have Mr. McQuarrie paint me some fancy pictures, I look for interesting looking "concept art" anywhere I can find it. I'll be posting some interesting Star Warsian pics here... feel free to do so too.

"They're my movies." -George Lucas. 19 people won oscars for their work on Star Wars (1977) and George Lucas wasn't one of them.

Excellent thread. For many ships I want to blend OT styling with art deco - not entirely streamlined but more clunky (the second is newer but awesome):

I would want them to still feel like precursors to OT technology.

This is neither here not there, but I think it adds something:

I think this is a really cool idea! Although, a lot of the formerly rejected McQuarrie art WAS used a lot in the prequels.

^ I think I've seen those pics before. Where did they come from? Or am I just imagining things again?

You mean the pics in my signature? I photoshopped them myself, so if you've seen them before then you either saw them on my DeviantART account, or my Wookiepedia user page. :)
