<\/a>In this talk Stephen mentions the work of Ralph McQuarrie<\/a>. When George Lucas was shopping the idea for Star Wars to different studios, he was concerned that the traditional method of providing a script to read would not do justice to the scope of setting and drama that the story would provide. He wanted something more than just words on a page to literally illustrate the characters and settings he wanted to film. So George hired artist\/illustrator Ralph McQuarrie to do just that. The use of such supplemental material for movie pitches was not at all common during that time. McQuarrie later said \u00e2\u0080\u009cI understand my pictures did something to convince [20th Century] Fox to make Star Wars\u00e2\u0080?.<\/p>\n
