Happy birthday to Joe Johnston! He designed a lot of great ships, then directed Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989), The Rocketeer (1991), Jumanji (1995), October Sky (1999), Jurassic Park III (2001), and Captain America (2011).

Pure talent.

Also known as the “Rebel with a scarf hanging off his hat as Harrison Ellenshaw walks away and Ralph McQuarrie walks behind”.

Here's Joe working on a Y-wing circa 1976.

But Joe Johnston may be a double agent, since he was also an imperial in A New Hope (1977). 🤔

When you see the echoes of the Y on the U-wing, you know that this work is timeless.

Regarding that photo of JJ standing between all those models, for years I only knew that photo setup with George Lucas in it. Was it taken with other ILM employees as well?
