RIP Colin Cantwell (1932-2022)

Posting an appreciation thread for Colin Cantwell a week after his passing at 90. If you're not familiar with the name, Cantwell designed:

- the Death Star
- X-Wing
- Y-Wing
- TIE fighter
- Tantive 4 Blockade Runner
- the Imperial Star Destroyer
- Luke's landspeeder
- T-16 Skyhopper
- the Cantwell-Class Arrestor Cruiser (used in Solo)

It was these designs that Ralph McQuarrie would later turn into paintings and would get 20th Century Fox to fund Star Wars. Colin Cantwell was a LEGEND! Without him, Star Wars wouldn't have all these signature ships (not in their famous form at least). RIP.
