Star Wars Reimagined By Top Concept Artists

Recently, ArtStation had a competition with Industrial Light & Magic asking some of the world’s best artists to “imagine key moments, new vehicle designs, character and droid designs, and epic battles within the Star Wars universe”. Well, the winners have been announced, and the art is pretty amazing. Naturally, the best entries came from men and women who work on Hollywood movies and video games. Some of these are a very different take on Star Wars and really make you think. You can check out more at the link below. It is fun to see some fresh takes on this universe.

ILM: 40 Years Of Creating The Impossible

Industrial Light and Magic sure has come a long way since the original Star Wars. They are celebrating with a one-minute video that sums up 40 years of visual effects mastery. But can you name all of the movies shown here? This is an amazing look back at some of the things they have accomplished. Four decades in just sixty seconds.

Yes George Lucas gave us the Star Wars prequels, but just remember, he also gave us ILM. The man influenced movies more than anyone else and that legacy continues to this day.

Amazing Photos of ILM Building Star Wars Models

While we await more info about Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, here is a treasure trove of images that will keep you occupied for awhile. A collection of 140 photographs featuring Industrial Light & Magic’s model building process from 1977 to 1983. These images are just stunning and a good reminder of how incredibly talented these folks were.

The detail on some of these models is just breathtaking. THIS is why more filmmakers need to go back to using models. I could look at these all day long and still see things I never noticed before.
