Back in the late ’70s when I was in my impressionable youth, Star Wars dominated my consciousness, much like it did to all the kids of my generation. I collected all things Star Wars—if it had a Star Wars logo, I owned it. That movie captured my imagination like nothing before it (or after, for that matter). One of my cherished possessions was a book that contained Star Wars concept art by Ralph McQuarrie. McQuarrie’s Star Wars art is, really, the gold standard.
I also had an Empire Strikes Back Sketchbook. In fact, wait right there …
