“Ralph McQuarrie was the first person I hired to help me envision Star Wars. I met him and found out he was a really sweet guy and easy to get along with, and I loved his work. Just fantastic work. With the combination of those things I said let’s go. Him bringing the characters that I described with words to life in visuals. To be able to sit down and see what they look like, that was a very key component of putting the whole story together.”
