Good for its time but a little weak and repetitive.
Nice art and story has some echoes with later movies / work. We know that Clone wars looked back at this type of thing...

A different insight on Star Wars, and an quality illustration job by a great artist.
When you see the cover you tend to expect a little more of drawings but the text his well written and the finished job is good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, handy book for Star Wars art enthusiasts
Reviewed in Germany on 5 August 2020
A beautiful collection with very nice information about McQuarrie‘s Art. It tells stories fitting the pictures and sorts them into different worlds within the Star Wars Universe. Fans of Star Wars Rebels and The Clone Wars will recognize details and artworks that directly inspired elements of those shows. A must have for anyone interested in Star Wars history and Concept art.

2.0 out of 5 stars Menos do que esperava
Reviewed in Brazil on 27 August 2018
Tinha grandes espectativas por este livro mas me decepcionei bastante. As ilustrações mais famosas de Ralph McQuarrie como Luke saindo do Snowspeeder em Hoth, a arte clássica de Luke x Vader, esboços relacionados à criação e desenvolvimento dos principais personagens ficaram de fora. Esta publicação limita-se exclusivamente a esboços de cenários, paisagens e ambientes de 8 planetas. Algumas das ilustrações mais legais estão divididas em duas páginas o que prejudica a visualização e contemplação da arte. Não recomendo. Porém o preço é bastante atrativo e, se você que está lendo esta avaliação for um colecionador contumaz, talvez o custo/benefício compense.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful artwork, and the descriptions are just as interesting
Reviewed in Canada on 9 June 2018
Beautiful artwork, and the descriptions are just as interesting. The reader can really see how Lucas was inspired by the imagery, and how he was able to promote his vision to the studio execs using MacQuarrie's paintings. Also, the book's size is perfect. I highly recommend this.

Reviewed in Spain on 3 January 2018
Gran selección de la obra del genial McQuarrie, padre de los diseños mas icónicos de la trilogía original. Acompañando las ilustraciones hay textos bastante elaborados e interesantes que nos dan información adicional sobre los planetas retratados (incluido Alderan: no visto en pantalla).
