- "Alex has been amazing so far. Star Wars is ultimately a realistic fantasy universe, which gives him a chance to design all new creatures, vehicles, etc., while still being very grounded and making it all feel lived-in. That was one of the hallmarks of the Original Trilogy, and it's always been part of Alex's style as well, so it meshes really well."
- ―Charles Soule
