Yeah... a little late for this but I've been busy all figgin day!

              May the Fourth be With You All!             

...and this isn't just a National or Global holiday, but a Whole Universe Holiday!!!

    So to everyone in every galaxy out there:

     Happy Star Wars Day!     

I've shown this video before (below), but I really love it, and it it well-suited for today of all days!

...which is a wonderful celebration of what is so far my favorite TV show EVER

The amazing visual combination of sculpt and paint, using purely Visual Effects (and incredible storytelling) to create the only show of its kind, Star Wars - The Clone Wars

  

The visual language is stunning - and even better in motion!

The guy in the center (hands bound) in the below image is "Saw Gerrera", later played in the live action Rogue One - A Star Wars Story by Forest Whitaker

            Happy Revenge of the Sixth!!!        

    With loving memories and a salute to the legendary concept artist, the late Ralph McQuarrie - my the Force be With You... Always

    Whoa, Iris Gleam!

    There are many wonderful images online and in books by this incredible master of conceptualization. Here is a wonderful Tribute to Ralph McQuarrie by some of the team he's worked with at LucasFilm

    ...and a fine slideshow of some of his work

    Through the affect that Mr. McQuarrie has had over the inspiration of the direction on where Star Wars stories would/could go, Star Wars movies now go through a Blue Sky period in the art department very early on in the movie making process, where artists are given hints and let loose. The art created in such a period helps to shape the stories - which results in a magical situation of artists and story tellers working hand-in-hand, each inspiring the other to produce something truly magnificent.
