Drew Struzan for Star Wars: Episode VII Artwork?

Over the course of his long career, artist Drew Struzan has worked on some of Hollywood's most beloved franchises, including Indiana Jones, Back to the Future and Harry Potter. Of course, he's perhaps best known for his promotional work on Star Wars -- he designed the posters for the Prequel Trilogy and Special Editions, as well as numerous album, novel and comic book covers.

In a recent interview, Struzan revealed that he's already been asked by Disney to do the art for Star Wars: Episode VII. While nothing's been officially set, the artist said he's open to making a return to the sci-fi property, despite his planned retirement.

"I got a couple calls already this week on Star Wars from Disney," Struzan revealed to Fanhattan. "Oh my god, I'm trying to be retired! You know, I spent 35 years painting Star Wars. [laughs] I painted Star Wars before most of you were born! But I guess there is always a chance. There’s no intention... If the opportunity arises, it will be a real temptation. But it's going to have to be a real temptation to get me away from my wife and my little grandkids and my family... But, you know, never say never. All things are possible."
