Finally, we have some sad news to report: We must take a moment this afternoon to acknowledge the deaths of the legendary Greek film composer and musician Vangelis, and also a concept artist well known to genre fans by the name of Colin Cantwell. Vangelis is of course the man behind the scores for such films as Chariots of Fire (for which he won an Academy Award), Blade Runner, Missing, The Bounty, and 1492: Conquest of Paradise, and you may also recognize his music from the 1980s science series Cosmos: A Personal Voyage. Meanwhile, Cantwell designed the iconic X-Wing, TIE Fighter, Star Destroyer, and Death Star from Star Wars, and also worked on 2001: A Space Odyssey, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and WarGames. Both men will be missed. Vangelis was 79—you can read more about him today via The New York Times and Variety. Cantwell was 90 and you can read more about him here at The Hollywood Reporter and here at Star Wars.com.

We’ll leave you today with a look at the cover artwork for a few of the titles mentioned above, with Amazon.com pre-order links if available…

That’s all for now. Stay tuned…
