Following up on our conversation “In The Cantina” with Colin Cantwell’s partner Sierra Dall, if you are interested in learning more about Colin and his original concepts for Star Wars starships as one of George Lucas’s earliest collaborators, be sure to visit the official website at ColinCantwell.com:

Many people believe Ralph McQuarrie was the first person who created concept art for Star Wars spacecraft, but Colin Cantwell was actually hired in 1974 as the first employee of Lucasfilm.

Colin laid the concept art foundation for Star Wars spacecraft, including the X-Wing and TIE Fighter, that Ralph McQuarrie, Joe Johnston, and others at Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) used to further develop the look and feel of those ships.

You can buy prints of his work in our online shop, with a portion of the proceeds benefitting TSJ Foundation, a non-profit that creates Star Wars-centric museum exhibits to promote STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) education for kids.
