^ my response from that same thread…^ I highly disagree in all cases . Artists who have studied life drawing typically draw the "nude "figure and build it up from there , adding drapery and then erasing the construction lines… Mcquarrie has studied life drawing . The "nipple chain " you see is a set of lines to establish form and indicate where shadows will fall . What you claim is akin to saying the artist in this example intended these figures to be nude…https://seattleartistleague.com/art-classes/teen-figure-drawing-clothed-afternoon-july-6-10-ages-13-18/
At any rate , Star Wars was never conceived as a film containing nudity . Do you have any articles or behind the scenes interviews to show as proof of what you claim ?..now you cite some examples here, but your conclusions are pure conjecture and not solid proof .
Leaving aside that one sketch that you keep mentioning, the other drawings do appear to show a bare-breasted Leia wearing only a loincloth, or at the very least having enough of a wardrobe malfunction to alarm the MPAA. Or else why is Leia covering her breasts with her arm in the second sketch?
And how do you know that “Star Wars was never conceived as a film containing nudity”?
