Summary

Listen as Jason & Gabe take a look back at 1999’s The Art of Star Wars, Episode I The Phantom Menace! It was the dawn of a new era of Star Wars concept art and it’s just as fascinating today as it was then! Doug Chiang endlessly drawing Battle Droids in the attic of Skywalker Ranch resulted in a legacy in Star Wars design that can still be felt today. They talk about their favorite illustrations from the book, Jabba in thrones, the idea of an older Anakin, Jar-Jar's pet dog and MORE!

0:11.0	And then, almost immediately, within about three or four months of starting to write the scripts,
0:17.0	I brought in Doug and a few of the other designers. And then we, you know, there's a little
0:22.9	group and then we started building that little group that's the design group from the attic.
0:27.8	And we've worked for two and a half years together. And what I've done is, you know, over those
0:34.9	two and a half years, spent huge amounts of time approving, changing and
0:39.7	finalizing designs for things, you know, thousands of things.
0:45.8	The whole point of this is what works for the story. It could be the coolest thing, but if
0:50.8	people don't know what it is or how it works in five seconds, it doesn't

2:47.2	But first, there's news we've got to go over.
2:50.0	We haven't talked about solo lately, but there's a little bit, but first, there's news we gotta go over. We haven't talked about solo lately, but there's a little tiny bit of solo stuff going on out there.
