240 -- Christian Alzmann (Making Baby Yoda)

Maz Kanata

Christian Alzmann's unique art style and incredible design work has influenced the looks of The Force Awakens, Rogue One and even Star Wars: Rebels. From BB-8 to Maz Kanata, we explore the path to the big screen, including the stories behind the haunting "evil" Luke imagery and "The Jedi Killer". Bust open your copy of The Art of The Force Awakens by Phil Szostak, because we went through nearly every page of concept art, from Han Solo's beard to Vader's castle. It is a conversation I have wanted to have for such a long time and Mr. Alzmann was a real delight. Follow him on Instagram to see even more examples of his art and ideas: https://www.instagram.com/calzmann Our Talking Bay 94 web store is officially live with our first round of merch.
