Really a great artist that many of us Star Wars fans has always looked up to. Ralph has had his hands tons of other nerdy movies over the years like Raiders of the Lost Ark, E.T., Back to the Future, Cocoon, and Total Recall. Below is video showcasing some of his Star Wars art put to Star Wars music &#8230; very well done.
