RIP Ralph McQuarrie

Star Wars - and I mean ALL of Star Wars, would never have been what it was or what it is today if not for three people; Ben Burtt, John Williams and Ralph McQuarrie. Forget George Lucas, I'm not even joking. Try watching any scenes without either the score or sound FX and nothing works - there's no soul to any of it. But preceding any of that is the look of the SW universe and that - all of that - came from the mind and massive talent that was Ralph McQuarrie.

You look at any of the paintings from the Original Film and the sets they ended up making, the characters are pretty much 90% what he created. It's the entire base for what most guys my age wanted to dress like when they were kids. Kids in the 50's watched westerns and copied that, McQuarrie essentially created the new cowboys for sci-fi fans everywhere.

The reasons my eyes look so dark

To you

Are in no particular order, as follows;

Daylight

Darkness

Buses

Trains

Babies

Mothers

Absentee fathers

Absentee friends

Alcoholic tendencies

No dancing

No running

Banks

Bosses

Their bosses

Their bosses

And so on

Impatience

Insecurity

Damaged synapses

Rerouted thought patterns

Roadblocks thrown up by dead men

The dentist

The doctor

Typewriters

Computer keyboards

Basho

Buk

Childish

Rollins

Stipe

Wilson

And the rest

Cocaine

MDMA

Marijuana

Other people’s cigarettes

Other people’s roll-ups

Caffeine

Fear

Disillusionment

Abandonment

Overcompensation

Joy

Love

Principles

Adrenaline

Painting

Sculpture

Horror

Melted clocks and movie theatres

Intelligence

And understanding of the souls of men

And women

I could go on

But I have somewhere to be

And so do

You.
