EPISODE IX: MONSTER FROM THE MIST!

He's swiftly massacred the Mustafarian cultist group worshipping the legacy of Darth Vader, now Supreme Leader Kylo Ren has one final obstacle in his way to finding the secret Sith world of Exegol- the mysterious swamp creature known as the Eye of Webbish Bog, in this great concept/production painting art for The Rise of Skywalker by David Levy. The scene was filmed and the creature realised by Neal Scanlan's team, but it was ultimately dropped from the final cut for time and pace reasons.
