pandatrooper[TK] Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 Very sad to hear this. His influence on me as a child and adult were huge. I don't think I would have gone into art without his inspiration. He will be greatly missed. Quote

arbayer2[TK] Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) Ralph McQuarrie, on behalf of Star Wars fans and other fans of your work all over the world, I can safely say that your mastery of concept artistry helped define generations, influence the world in a positive manner and reach out to everyone. You, your work and your spirit will not be forgotten. As a potential member of the 501st I can say I'm honored to consider joining an organization you are very much a vital part of. Your art design is part of the reason why I am such a large Star Wars fan, a part of art history that inspires me and may have formed my fascination with the arts. So I suppose I should thank you for that as well. May your rest in peace. -Aidan Edited March 5, 2012 by arbayer2 Quote
