Planet/location concepts by Ralph McQuarrie for the original Star Wars trilogy (that were reused later).
Coruscant started out as Had Abaddon, capital of the empire, and was going to be featured in RETURN OF THE JEDI. It was very very close, but eventually Lucas decided to go with a second Death Star.
Alderaan. I used to wonder why McQuarrie had bothered designing Alderaan as it would only be seen from space anyway. But Alderaan wasn’t always Alderaan: in one draft, the planet was a giant gas planet, and the capital of the New Galactic Empire.
Sicemon, originally the site of Jabba’s palace in RETURN OF THE JEDI. It was then re-purposed as the home of the rebels, then abandoned.
An abandoned “ice castle” on Hoth where the rebels would have their base of operations (you can spot a tiny Han and Chewie).
These images show Vader’s castle, which I’ve featured before. (In fact I’ve featured several of these images before, but I just wanted to do this overview and didn’t want to exclude the more significant concepts.)
The sinkhole planet that would become Utapau. This one dates back to 1976 I believe.
Bonus: This one, by Doug Chiang, is a concept painting for Jakku, which was conceived as a junk planet. Should have used it! I mean THAT is a planet you’d want to escape from. Plus we had already seen a sand planet.
Look, I don’t give a flying fuck whether you like Reylo or not. It doesn’t matter, you still shouldn’t be supporting what John Boyega is doing. It is not okay for a rich celebrity to be punching down and KNOWINGLY* inciting cyberbullying against regular people including TEENAGERS. This is an abuse of power. This is bullying.
I don’t care if you think you’re cool for being anti-Reylo and you agree with him, it’s still wrong for him to be sending people to harass others and you are a shitty person for supporting this like it’s cool and funny. Cyberbullying is not cool and funny. If Reylos were doing this shit, if Adam Driver was doing this to Finnreys, I WOULDN’T SUPPORT IT! But the fucking reality y’all don’t want to face is that this toxicity has never come from Reylos, it’s come from Finnreys and nonshipper Dudebros.
*He was reached out to respectfully by a fan who warned him that because of his giant platform, him making fun of Reylos (especially targeting specific people) was going to cause harm and he reacted with a snoring gif. And then proceeded to post a video on Instagram where he specifically targeted and shared the names of fans’ twitters.
Aliens have just arrived on Earth, and they are looking for a human to ‘mate’ with. There is a lottery, and your name is picked. As they bring you into their ship, the strangely attractive alien Prince looks and you and says “Mine.”
“craft” I reply.
The prince nods and pulls two 2014 iphones from his pocket.
