Considering the extensive private collection he and Speilberg have of Rockwells, Leyendeckers, and other great illustrators, I cannot be more excited for this if I tried. Looks like I have a new reason to revisit San Francisco!
Will there be any of your work in the collection? I'd imagine there'd have to be some, considering the influence you had on the prequels' design.
