The movie scenes were very close to those.

Think i own a book with all of those somewhere. Anything to do with the original trilogy always interests me...

Star Wars was a visionary masterpiece for its time.

These we can see in the original trilogy:

Borrowed heavily from this guy and his team of artists which included Moebius and Giger...

Those are incredible. I vaguely remember seeing some of these years ago. Time to hit eBay to see if I can track down any prints. Those would look great at the office.

Just amazing.

Beautiful ART!

C3PO was definately influenced by Metropolis 1927 Movie. Should have kept that design but probably worried about getting sued.

That is GOLD! :2 cents::2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:
