EPISODE VII: THE NEW BASE...

There's nothing that sums up a STAR WARS film more evocatively than seeing X-wing fighters and the Millennium Falcon together at a Rebel/Resistance base, and this great art for The Force Awakens, from conceptual spark Matt Allsopp (firmly capturing the spirit of Ralph McQuarrie), intriguingly puts them on a mysterious planet (later to become D'Qar) where the vegetation has taken a firm hold of the local ancient architecture- an idea that subtly made its way into the finished film.

ROGUE ONE: ON LONG PATROL!

On one of the rocky desert outcrops of the planet Jedha, a lone Imperial Sandtrooper keys an eye on the horizon and a look out for any hidden Rebel fighters, in this deleted scene moment shot early on during location filming for Rogue One - A Star Wars Story.

In the original version of Rogue One, Stormtroopers were to be seen riding long-legged camel aliens, indigenous creatures of the planet. It was a sequence concept designed and the troopers were filmed on location for later digital insertion of the beasts, but the sequence was ultimately cut.

Images of the creatures and their mounts would also appear in the STAR WARS Galactic Atlas book that came out with the cinema release.
