One of the brilliant minds behind the Star Wars X-Wing and the Death Star, Colin Cantwell, has passed away at age 90.
The sci-fi world has lost a great mind. Concept artist, Colin Cantwell, has passed away at the age of 90. His longtime partner, Sierra Dall reported the news following Cantwell’s passing in his Colorado home on Saturday.
Adding more of an unbelievable spin to this true story, Cantwell first held down a job at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and NASA during America’s bid to get to space before the Russians. But wait, it gets crazier.
