The galaxy seems a little colder now. A great artist McQuarrie was/is, not only for the Star Wars Universe, but for a lot of others great SCI FI projects as well, to name a few:

 

 

E.T.

Close Encounters

 

Star Trek:

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.
