A great thing about Struzan's Star Wars book covers was when his artwork continued across to the back cover. Here is an example where the back featured two "Preybird" starfighters, a ship which at the time I don't believe had any fully-rendered high quality artwork of it.

When Disney secured the Indiana Jones Adventure ride license from Lucasfilm, they didn’t have permission to use Harrison Ford’s likeness for the poster art. Drew Struzan called Harrison Ford and directly asked him. Ford permitted Struzan because he inherently trusted him.
