"We all like the sense in the classic films that the Millennium Falcon that was a ship but it was also a place – it was like a home. "It's actually a pretty big centrepiece for the show," said Filoni. Filoni described it as a cross between a B-17 and the Millennium Falcon. The concept art above is also a first glimpse of a new iconic ship in the Rebel fleet called 'The Ghost'. Filoni also name-checked the celebrated Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki as an influence in the design of characters and the way body proportions are "pushed" slightly out of scale. So everything in Rebels, from the TIE fighters to the proportions of the Stormtroopers, will adhere more closely to the style of McQuarrie's work. We need to maintain and respect that history but also do what made it great – it always leapt forward." McQuarrie's designed were adapted when realised on the big screen, but Filoni is proceeding as if McQuarrie was actually depicting a world set slightly before A New Hope. Star Wars owes so much to Ralph, and I'm very dedicated to the history of Star Wars and of Lucasfilm. For me, that always goes back to Ralph McQuarrie, and that's a name you're going to hear over and over again. We wanted to give it its own look and feel. We're not proceeding with the same style. "This show is going to be different from Clone Wars it's intentionally going to look different.
"For me I wanted to develop a style different from Clone Wars," said Filoni. So much so, a digital set of brushes have been developed for the show to help artists reproduce the art style of McQuarrie. Filoni spoke at length about how the show will draw extensively on the seminal work of Ralph McQuarrie, the concept artist who helped define the look of Star Wars. Its worn look recalls the 'used future' of the original trilogy, and the warm, burnt orange nicely alludes to the colour palette associated with the Rebel Alliance.
