Star Wars concept art books

[Jagjaguwar]

I agree, I'm glad I found it. Oddly enough it wasn't the book itself that drew me to seeking out one of these limited editions in the first place, it was the Vanderstelt "Luminous Being" print. I really loved that art, and had wanted to get one of the acme archives prints, but couldn't find one. For less money I got a not quite as nice version of the print (I'm assuming, although not sure if the other prints were actually signed like mine), along with a nice book and three other prints I like (and one I don't- the portrait one). Can't beat that!

And sorry for so many images, but I figured people might be curious about these, given how hard it seems to be to find any information on the differences between them and the regular editions. I'd like to see a regular in person to be able to compare the type of paper and which pages are exclusive to the limited.

Edit: Sergiu, what's that 27 volume set on your shelf?

No reason to apologize. In fact, please feel free to post even more pics!

Thank you for sharing. Love all the illustrations.

Recently the supposedly long lost ANH Darth Vader mask has been discovered in the collection of Patrice Girod. This is his book (in French) about the screen used costumes, props, models he owns:

A nice ANH book just arrived:

Dr Evazan and Ponda Baba.
They have a very interesting back story.
I hope they do a movie about them.

It's Walrusman. Turn in your Star Wars card.

What would be cool is, the scene when they first meet each other in the movie, Ponda walks into Evazan's clinic and the clerk at the front desk says, "How can I help you... walrus, err... man?"
Then with a disgusting look on his face the doc asks the clerk, "Does he have an appointment with us?"
LOL!

I always liked the Robot Chicken sequence about those two.
