A fantastic opportunity to add a beautifully presented piece of classic Star Wars concept art to your collection.
This vintage 1980 Ralph McQuarrie artwork from The Empire Strikes Back captures the Millennium Falcon arriving at a futuristic landing platform, rendered in McQuarrie\'s unmistakable concept-art style. McQuarrie\'s artwork played a foundational role in establishing the visual world of the original Star Wars trilogy, making his work particularly desirable among collectors of vintage Star Wars memorabilia and concept art.
Why This Example Stands Out
The artwork itself is approximately 11\" x 22\", but what makes this particular example especially attractive is its custom professional matting and framing.
Collectors commonly encounter vintage McQuarrie portfolio artwork as loose, unframed prints. Finding one that has already been carefully presented in a substantial custom frame and mat makes this an especially appealing display-ready collector piece.
Rather than simply storing a vintage print away, this example can immediately become a focal point in a Star Wars collection, movie memorabilia room, office, library, or display wall.

The artwork bears R. McQuarrie\'s signature/name within the artwork, as visible in the lower-left corner.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a vintage printed reproduction/portfolio piece of Ralph McQuarrie\'s artwork and is not an original McQuarrie painting or original production artwork. The value and appeal of this item are in its vintage presentation, iconic McQuarrie artwork, and professionally framed collector display.
Framed & Display Ready
The custom black frame and wide brown-toned mat complement the warm palette of the artwork particularly well. The finished presentation gives this piece the appearance of a dedicated collector display, rather than simply a vintage paper print.
A particularly nice choice for the collector who appreciates the artwork behind the Star Wars films—not just the finished movie memorabilia.
