There’s indeed something magical about the world of Star Wars.

It lets you escape completely and absolutely into a galaxy far, far away and a long time ago, and it does so with, among other things, some fearsomely good world-building.

One man who’s made a major contribution to making the places and races and creatures of the franchise is Gustav Hogan, a man who fell in love with George Lucas’s creations when he saw Return of the Jedi when he was a kid, and who then set about trying to create as many fantastical creatures as he could from whatever he could.

His passionate tinkering has led to a career that has given birth to all kinds of well-known Star Wars characters and which has allowed him to become a part of what makes this most magical of franchises come affectingly and thrillingly to life.
