Does Mr. Lucas prefer his concepts be done by hand
or on computer?
This report comes from the Official Star Wars Site!

There is no preference. Our main objective is the idea and concept and the technique we use to draw them is secondary. While most of the artists in the art department use traditional techniques, about 30% use strictly digital. All the artists are equally deft in using both digital and traditional techniques and it's really a matter of personal preference.
Furthermore, different stages of the production sometimes dictates the techniques we use. For example, digital work is most effective during post production since we can digitally alter photographed plates into highly accurate paintings.
