Cantwell's first credit came on Stanley Kubrick 's 1968 sci-fi movie 2001: A Space Odyssey .
Star Wars creator George Lucas then asked him to design and make prototypes for the Death Star , X-Wing, Tie Fighter and Imperial Star Destroyer.
Cantwell's cousin Shannon Eric Denton said he " brought a lot of joy to The World with his art".

They would want to be in it. The First half hour had to be extraordinarily successful and Beyond Reason .
" It had to be a strange kind of joyous. It is all the impossibilities that are playing together, and that is what makes it Star Wars . It is so many layers that the different characters showed that they are different but doing this giant parody at the same time. "
Cantwell also worked on technical dialogue for Steven Spielberg 's Close Encounters of the Third Kind , was a computer graphics design consultant for WarGames in 1983, and wrote two sci-fi novels.
