Ralph McQuarrie (born 13 June 1929; age 79) is best known to the public for his production designs for the Star Wars films. His imagination helped guide the final appearance of Darth Vader and his Storm Troopers, and he also created many of the matte paintings of planets and satellites that appeared in the film.
After Star Wars wrapped in 1977, McQuarrie was invited to England to work under Ken Adam to help develop the designs for a new Star Trek series, ultimately abandoned to make way for Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
