Star Wars fans, hard-core and casual alike, all know the name Ralph McQuarrie. This legendary talent was the concept artist for the original Star Wars trilogy. It was Ralph who was the first to visualize the incredible ideas that George Lucas conceived for saga we all know and love. Join The Force-Cast as we pay tribute to this great man on his 80th birthday with The Ralph McQuarrie Birthday Spectacular! Jason and Jimmy Mac are joined by two very special guest co-hosts this week, from Team McQuarrie, its PAUL and ATHENA BATEMAN, who provide a look inside the creative mind of Ralph.
