Academy Award-winning "Star Wars" legend Roger Christian, mostly known for his detailed, "lived-in" universe production designs he created for George Lucas's seminal space opera, is a true cinematic artist whose pioneering work in set dressing and prop creation goes far beyond building iconic props and sets like R2-D2, Han's DL-44 Blaster, the Millennium Falcon interior, and the Jedi Knights' lightsabers.
After his involvement helping to launch "Star Wars"' galaxy far, far, away, Christian signed on with Ridley Scott in late 1977 as his primary art director to further that same rusting, leaking, steaming aesthetic for the filmmaker's sci-fi horror project, "Alien."
