Iain McCaig is an artistic director, concept designer, and filmmaker who worked at JAK Films, a division of Lucasfilm, as a storyboard and concept artist for Episodes I, II, III and VII.[1] Several of the characters he designed include Darth Maul, Queen Amidala, and Sio Bibble. Artwork by McCaig was also featured in A New Hope: The Princess, the Scoundrel, and the Farm Boy,[2] The Empire Strikes Back: So You Want to Be a Jedi?, Return of the Jedi: Beware the Power of the Dark Side! and the Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge comic series.[3]
McCaig planned to complete a comic titled "In a Future, Far, Far Away..." for the 2005 graphic novel anthology Star Wars: Visionaries, which would have followed C-3PO and R2-D2 thousands of years after the Battle of Yavin, but was unable to complete it due to his obligations on Revenge of the Sith.[4]
Iain McCaig was brought in to sketch characters for the Star Wars: The High Republic publishing campaign, a series released in 2021.[5]
