Despite working on Star Wars since The Phantom Menace, Lucasfilm design director Doug Chiang says "only George [Lucas] truly knows what Star Wars design is... I don’t always get it 100 per cent right”

Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson) and Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan MacGregor) prepare for a lightsaber duel in Star Wars - Episode I: The Phantom Menace.

Lucasfilm's executive design director Doug Chiang has spoken about his philosophy when it comes to designing all things Star Wars in a galaxy far, far away.

In conversation with Creative Bloq, Chiang, who described his role as "[overseeing] Star Wars design for our films, games, new media and theme parks" as well as passing on lessons learned from series creator George Lucas, said: "Star Wars design is more sophisticated than it first appears. On the surface, the designs may seem simple and obvious, and that’s intentional. But underneath lie layers of foundational guidelines that shape this cohesive universe."
