EPTMy 1st Thread in the General. As a fan of the series, I think this fits in here, right?
Ralph McQuarrie, the artist who helped George Lucas bring Stars Wars to the big screen, has died aged 82.
The conceptual designer created the look of characters including Darth Vader, Chewbacca and R2-D2 and C-3PO.
He also worked on the original Battlestar Galactica TV series and Steven Spielberg films E.T. and Cocoon, for which he won an Oscar.
A tribute on his website said: "We'll miss you Ralph. You will forever be the brightest star in our galaxy."
