==Foreword by George Lucas==
"It was art -- in the form of Ralph McQuarrie's pre-production paintings -- that helped sell Star Wars as a movie property. Before Ralph picked up his brush, no one had even seen a Wookiee or a droid. To make the films, a team of amazingly talented artists and designers had to create creatures, vehicles and environments that began only as words on a page. Art also became a significant factor in the advertising for the trilogy because each movie poster had to convey the complex moods of the films in a single painting.
Today, more than 15 years since the release of Star Wars, fantasy art continues to play a dynamic role in the history of the saga. On trading cards and in this book are the "New Visions" of Star Wars, original illustrations by top comic artists, each one offering a personal interpretation of the imagery that makes up the trilogy.
For me, it's been a gratifying creative journey that is not even halfway completed."
