New Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker Concept Art Appears Online
Cancelled and revamped ideas from The Rise of Skywalker.
Despite being released over a year ago, we are still getting some new information about the making of the last Star Wars movie, Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker.
The film's concept artist and comic artist Adam Brockbank has shared some never-before-seen ideas from the film, which definitely offer up a glimpse of what could've been. While some of the art has clearly inspired aspects seen in the finished movie, albeit with some changes made, others were missing altogether.
Here are some of the posts released by Brockbank.
Something that we never got to see in the movie was this. A lightsaber duel in sandstone in the ruins of the homestead. However, the ending of The Rise of Skywalker did see the character of Ray return to Luke's childhood home to leave Luke and Leia's lightsabers hidden in the ground there.
A closer look at the early stages of Dark Rey. It's clear where there are some different design choices from what we saw in the finished movie. For example, Rey seems to be harnessing the force through her hands rather than using a double-sided sabre.
This next image would have played out at the start of the film where we first see Kylo hunting for the Wayfinder. In this early design, Kylo is the last man standing in his rampage .
It's highly recommend heading over to Adam Brockbank's Instagram for those wishing to see even more of this concept art.
Since The Rise of Skywalker proved to be so dividing of its fan base, would you like to have seen the inclusion of some of these early designs in the finished film?
