Ralph McQuarrie

Happy birthday to the late, great Ralph McQuarrie!

This was one of two pieces he did with Boba Fett's poncho look, a possible reference to Clint Eastwood's "Man with No Name"

Born on this day in 1929, and passed in 2012, see our page on Ralph's role in #BobaFett history: https://bobafett.com/fettpedia/ralph-mcquarrie/

Jabba the Hutt

Return of the Jedi

Today we remember the birthday of Ralph McQuarrie, whose concept work led to the character of #BobaFett and eventually this "Return of the Jedi" painting in Jabba's Palace

Ralph passed away in 2012, but there was an Easter egg / homage to this very painting in the third episode of #TheBookOfBobaFett

Ralph McQuarrie

On this day in 1929, Ralph McQuarrie was born

"I was sitting in a meeting with George, doodling on a piece of paper while taking notes. He was talking about Hoth, and I was thinking about a costume for that. When George saw this sketch, he said, 'that would make a good bounty hunter. Develop it and make it a guy with all kinds of gadgets on his suit – rockets and so forth – to defend himself with.'" – The Art of Ralph McQuarrie (2007)

Slave I

#ThisDayInHistory: Ralph McQuarrie would have celebrated his 88th birthday today.

In addition to doing concept art that helped define the look of #BobaFett, one of Ralph's production paintings showcased this look for Cloud City with his ship, Slave I, completed well before "The Empire Strikes Back" went into production. He passed away in 2012. #RIP

Happy Birthday Ralph McQuarrie!

In honor of the late concept artist, who was born on this day in 1929, here is his art with #BobaFett in a poncho on Cloud City circa 1978. This pre-production effort eventually evolved and this -- sans poncho -- became the "he's no good to me dead" hallway scene in "The Empire Strikes Back."

Ralph passed away on March 3, 2012.
