10 Awesome Star Wars Ideas That Nearly Happened

Keeping with Revenge of the Sith's lost Mustafar moments now and to a showdown for the ages that could've likely been ramped up a few dramatic notches with the introduction of an intimidating outside entity.

Brought into being by artist Sang Jun Lee, a red-lightsaber-wielding Anakin Skywalker could be seen duking it out with old-master-turned-enemy Obi-Wan Kenobi amidst the fiery terrain. Only, instead of merely having the lava and crumbling mining facility to worry about, they would've been joined by a monumental alien scorpion/lizard hybrid.

You could understandably debate that cutting this grand beast from the dynamic duel led to a much more personal and appropriately emotional clash between the leading characters. But this Mustafar monster's inclusion in the sword fight would've still likely been a welcome addition of peril without taking too much away from the Vader/Kenobi back-and-forth.

Elsewhere, in a piece of art which doesn't offer much clarity as to when or why the visual would've been going down, a set of giant worms was also once pitched to be chasing down a Jedi on an icy planet at one point in the third Prequel outing.

Someone was clearly angling for more beastly interference in the planning stages of this space opera.
