 Ralph McQuarrie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ralph McQuarrie (born June 13, 1929 in Gary, Indiana) is a conceptual designer and futurist responsible for the look of Star Wars (all of the original trilogy), the original Battlestar Galactica (TV), E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and Cocoon, for which he won an Academy Award.
After arriving, however, he decided that the existing design team (lead by ILM illustrator Doug Chiang) was more than sufficient, and declined to participate -- much to the eventual disappointment of many "Original Trilogy" fans.
McQuarrie played the uncredited role of General McQuarrie in Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back.
