Maybe slightly modified this could be a planetary shot of Utapau:

Wow. very interesting!
Still i liked utapau as it have. Very unique and cool design.
There are other places in SW universe that look FAKE. for example. we can use your awesome rock pictures to recreate the CG canyon when the clones shoot the jedi (adi gallia's cousin(!)) with the speeders.
Naboo now is pretty awesome as it has. Probably several shots need other mood or new establishing shots.
Edit: now i reconsider the idea that the palace in the cliffs is a good idea for jabba's palace.
Like the style on Bravestarr. i think it can work.
Really i cant wait to find some time to make a good dramatic new matte for jabba's palace with new elements and location.
