In our ghastly laboratory, we break down the greatest classics of cinema and stitch it back in beautiful monstrosities, to give them life again under overwhelming electric charges. Our favorite victims are Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, but there is always room for other innocent movies. The result could not have another name: it's pure frankenmedia.
I want a whole remake trilogy based on or even a direct copy of the concept art and concept scripts. Shot on the same cameas they used for the OG trilogy but with modern day special effects. Ralph Mcquarrie's STAR WARS It would be BEAUTIFUL.
You can very easily see Morrowind's influence from Star Wars in this artwork. Also, very interesting is that most city art was fully realized in the Prequel Trilogy instead of the Original Trilogy due to technology limitations.
Thanks for this upload, this is fantastic. So did this come entirely from Ralph or was it a joint thing between him and Lucas and whoever else and they sat down together? Was some of it Lucas saying "Hey can you draw this for me?". I'm not a huge Star Wars guy but I do love the old movies and this is very fascinating to me. Although my favorite Lucas film is still THX (If you can find the original. He didn't quite destroy the original with that one but he almost did) Also what do you guys think of that original Yoda concept? Is it good that they made the changes they did? I'm torn, I kind of would have liked to see the one in that picture haha
I think star wars as an animated movie instead of a live action one would work pretty well since animation is limitless & considering the filmmaking technology of 1977 couldn't achieve some of the elements of these matte paintings, where nowadays digital compositing softwares & cgi can achieve it almost perfectly.
i honestly like the way lightsabers gradually get weaker as they head farther from the hilt. like an actual plasma blade. i also wished they kept the darth vader design.
in my opinion he's one of the greatest artists of all time. No joke, up there with michelangelo and dali. Just the amount of emotion and inventiveness is mindbreaking
I see that Filoni took inspirations from these to make Rebels ex:Zeb was the original Chewbacca and he designed Vader's mask similar to his original concept
Ralph Mcquarrie's artwork is beyond amazing, I can go as much to say that it is very divine and absolutely beautiful. When I first found out about it years ago, I had to buy any toy I can find that had Ralph Mcquarrie concept art in front of it. I can look at his art over and over again and it never gets old! I remeber playing Jedi fallen order and saw that they made a flame trooper which was a nod to his concept art of the snow troopers. I get so excited any time I see new characters or troopers that draw inspiration from Ralphs concept art. I don't really watch rebels but thought it was very cool how they use the concept art of Chewbacca to make Zeb and also Jedi master Tapal from fallen order and using his stormtrooper concept for the TK troopers in the bad batch. I really look forward to seeing more of his concepts resurrected and used
Before VCRs I collected Topps Empire Strikes Back cards. I wondered why someone went to the trouble of making a painting of what appeared on the screen. I just wanted the cards with screen shots!
0:14 Fun Fact: It was this painting that actually sold Anthony Daniels on Star Wars. He came in to audition for C-3P0, but when he read the script was like "What kind of a story is this" but then he walked into the screentest and saw this painting and thought it was looking at him like "You're the one, come to me." and then he felt like he had to get this part. Then years later he met MacQuarrie and said to him "You! This is all your fault!" and the rest is history.
@I'm not ya mate I'm ya father! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Qhg8azR2ww8.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8fCqhpV2SG4.html You were saying? Who's lying now?
A lot of unused concept art created by this genius was carried out into more recent Star War projects, such as Clone Wars, Rebels, Rogue One, the Sequel Trilogy and The Mandalorian.
1:13 You see that Disney? That's called a "Y-Wing." It's a fast-moving bomber not based off our real-world WWII bombers because slow-moving bombers in Starwars are suicidal
Gregory Dahl Yea it’s slower than fighters but my point is Lucas recognized slow moving bombers in Star Wars, like what we saw in Last Jedi, would be suicide missions. You need a bomber that can get to the target, release the pay load, and get the heck out of there as quickly as possible and that’s where the Y-wing came in and what the Resistance should have used in the Last Jedi instead of those slow moving suicide capsules
And then there was soundtrack and all those invisible people which made effects and requisites etc... without all of them it didnt worked out another time.
@Helzhangstudiosofficial but all the scripts were written by him, of course, some persons helped him, but the original idea was from him. I would say that everyone helped to make the movie.
The light sabers in rebels looked awful and honestly, the show to me doesn’t really capture the beauty of Ralph's amazing art in my opinion, the animation just felt cheap and slow.
0.5 X Speed (only is 0.25 X is choppy; I managed 0.4 X ok). Open another window at normal speed for music. Great upload but McQuarrie images are too much to take in so quickly slowing down the images would be nice.
