StarWars.com recently published an interesting interview with Kilian Plunkett, the character design for The Clone Wars CGI Animated series expected to find a home on television sometime in 2008.

Two things stood out in the interview, first was Plunkett’s take on drawing Star Wars for thirty years, since he started as a childhood fan:

“I was like pretty much every other kid and just enjoyed drawing for its own sake, but I never really stopped. I still have a copybook from when I was seven that has a bunch of Star Wars drawings in it. There’s a lot of stormtroopers and Vaders in there, as well as some X-wing and TIE fighter action over the Death Star. They’re all pretty crude drawings but I had fun doing them. So not much has really changed between then and now.”

The other, was Plunkett describing the “unique Star Wars aesthetic”:

The universe that George came up with is one of those very rare creations that is different to the world we know but feels like a real place. You need to try and absorb the look and feel of the movies so that you can see the shapes and colors that show up over and over. Watching the movies is the only way to really ‘get it’
