The road to Jabba's Palace is long and paved with declarations of doom-laden woe, courtesy of Threepio, as he and Artoo reach their inevitable destination, in this lovely Ralph McQuarrie production art for Return of the Jedi, showing a different landscape to the one ultimately seen in the finished film of 1983, though it would appear successfully translated to the MARVEL comics adaptation art by Al Williamson and Carlos Garzon.
Interestingly, the same production painting would be displayed on the Star Wars Identities world exhibition tour, but with an added image to it of a Gamorrean Guard (as seen below). When and why exactly the creative decision was made to incorporate the creature I don't know.
