Decent article with some stunning concept art - also contains references and info on ‘The wolves of Coruscant’, ‘Lando’s original look’, ‘Desert driving’, ‘The imperial march redux’, and… ‘The secret history of Leia Organa’:-
‘General Leia Organa is a revered figure amongst the Resistance. But early drafts for the sequel trilogy suggested that Carrie Fisher’s alter ego wasn’t beloved in all quarters. In a treatment outlined by Michael Arndt, it was revealed that Leia’s status as Darth Vader’s daughter sidelined her while the Rebellion tried to transition into building a new Republic.’
^ I think this would have been a welcome addition to what we saw on screen - especially for the lack of world-building and awareness on the ‘lay of the land’ / current state of the Galaxy in The Force Awakens… and in regards to the plight of the Resistance, the New Republic, and also the status of the First Order itself.
I love these ‘Art Of’ books - even for content I’m not too fond of; the often amazing concept art and early ideas, scripts and story pieces that fall by the way, alternative looks to what we actually see on-screen… all help get the old imagination firing 😃
The book author, Phil Szostak, has an insightful and illuminating twitter account at https://twitter.com/PhilSzostak which is well worth a look at for rare, unused, or alternative angles etc for snippets of art - and info.
