The cover art that featured on the 1972 reprint was painted by the noted speculative fiction artist John Berkey. It depicted a rocket-plane diving down through space towards a gigantic mechanical planet, and was rotated 180°.[2] Berkey's original artwork was purchased by a young George Lucas to serve as visual reference material while he was trying to pitch his ideas to film studios for a new film, The Star Wars. It is thought that this painting had a strong influence on the eventual production design of Star Wars and served to inspire the film's leading concept artist, Ralph McQuarrie, and model maker Colin Cantwell, whose early designs for the Death Star battle station bore a strong similarity to Berkey's painting of a metal world.[3][4]
