Not sure you’re fully aware how concept art works. They have an entire series of the art of books for tfa tlj and ROS. All packed with concept art. You should get them.

Concept art doesn’t mean anything at all except blue sky creativity. It’s not a part of the script. Nor does it inform it.

Who knows if its from his direction or one of the other dozen iterations this debacle went through. Or maybe they worked from that script for awhile before they blew it up and decided to copy the old movies again.

A good summary of what Duel of the Fates may have been.

Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

I don't have the new ones. I've been trying to cut back on the "art of ___" books because I have too many.

The prequel ones, especially the first one, was basically the bible for most concept artists around my age. I still have a tattered copy around.

Iain McCaig can make anything look good.

I haven’t got those. Must look them up.

Did I share this before? It’s awesome. This guy is the heart of SW design to me. He gets it.
This is a brilliant watch if you haven’t seen it
