[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] I suppose you could say it is- but really, it's a very poor representation of Ralph McQuarrie's painting. Really, ALL the designs for Rebels are directly taken from McQuarrie's original SW paintings- the big crewman from The Ghost is actually McQuarrie's concept for Chewbacca- there's even a line of action figures based on Ralph's concepts and one of concept-Chewie that looks veeeerrry familliar: http://www.rebelscum.com/tac21McChewie.asp Regarding the Star Destroyer, if they were using McQuarrie's painting as reference on their Star Destroyer, they flubbed it pretty badly. Here is the Rebels version: http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140723040917/starwarsrebels/images/1/1c/Star_Destroyer_Trailer_2.png McQuarrie's version (which looks completely different at the sides) http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130308045242/starwars/images/7/73/RMQ-stardestroyer.png If they really are using Ralph's painting for inspiration, they strayed pretty far afield. It's like when someone takes a TNG Trek design and makes a TOS version of it- it comes across as an homage, but never looks like it belongs in that era. So too with the Rebels SD- and the multi-colored lights certainly dont help matters- nor does the utter lack of visible turbolasers! WTH?!? Really, I think the design would still be okay if they shortened the neck and gave it it's turbolasers- it's frankly idiotic to leave those off- even if they are not present in the McQuarrie painting, their absense is glaring- we KNOW the Venator has them and the ISD has them- it's dumb for this version to break design lineage by not being armed.
