Vacant Highlines

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.

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.

Miniature Coruscant sets from ATTACK OF THE CLONES (2002). I never realized how much the prequels relied on practical effects. I’ve shown some of THE PHANTOM MENACE sets before, and Mustafar, and now these. Even more later.

look for yourself… that would burn me to dust–
