Anthony DanielsGUEST
I remembered a lot and it was painful.
Anthony DanielsGUEST
Originally, of course, I wasn't interested in the job, we all know this, and the things that changed my mind were Ralph McQuarrie's original concept art and then George's script.
Anthony DanielsGUEST
I didn't care about anybody else in the script.
Anthony DanielsGUEST
Every time the page turned and there was this old man being very, very awkward.
Luke BlighHOST
It's not necessarily going to be there permanently.
Luke BlighHOST
Of course, there's gonna be loads of Star Wars stuff there permanently, but for the expo, it does, or exhibition, there are reproductions of Ralph McQuarrie.
Matt HudsonHOST
Rep- replicas, yeah.
Luke BlighHOST

TristanHOST

JamesHOST
It's very much, for me, when you dig into these kind of talents, it's kind of... standing on the shoulders of giants you know and there were people like um you know Ralph McQuarrie and Drew Struzan who were the big sort of Star Wars influences you know the the pre-viz art and then the poster art you know Drew Struzan himself has sadly passed away recently but um you know legendary and I I uh credit those guys as being hugely influential for me in terms of Sort of filling in the blanks when the movies aren't playing or the TV shows aren't on.
JamesHOST

Jen Subchakjai BankardHOST
the star the star wars area i think we're too biased like i don't know if that's even in the running uh in terms of answering this question because it's like kind of not fair um But I will say that a lot of the concept art, like I knew that there would be props and costumes in the Star Wars area, but like the concept art is really what blew me away because I just hadn't seen a lot of that.
Jen Subchakjai BankardHOST
And it wasn't just Ralph McQuarrie.
Jen Subchakjai BankardHOST
There was a bunch of stuff by Doug Chang and a couple other artists who's like, I'm embarrassed to say I didn't recognize their names.
Jen Subchakjai BankardHOST
I'm sure if I looked them up, then I'd be like, oh yeah, they worked on these movies.
Jen Subchakjai BankardHOST
