flickr.com — Concept Artist Ralph McQuarrie brought George Lucas' original 'Star Wars' vision to life and has become one of the most important visionary artists of our time. Amongst his other amazing works, he was also hired to do concept art for the original late 70's Battlestar Galactica TV series. Here are some of those amazing illustrations.

Thanks for posting! I didn't know RM did Galactica as well!

I've never seen Battlestar, but this is unbelievably great stuff. I wish I had 1/1,000th the talent shown here...

Fantastic...I regret the BSG we watch on TV now is so far from the original serie and completely lack of its spirit.

I had seen many of these sketches published before when I was a kid...but it wasn't until I saw this image set today that I learned they went back and used one of the starfighter concepts for Buck Rogers.

Sorry, but you're a nerd if you knew what BSG stood for before clicking through

Science Fiction concept art goes hand in hand with Sci Fi itself. ++
