While some of these production paintings are cool, some remind me how lucky we are that George Lucas wasn't able to to do everything he wanted back in the days of the OT.

That painting from McQuarrie wasn't done for the ROTJ film. It was done later for the Illustrated SW Universe book from the early '90's.

No, it was done for the first Ewok movie in the mid 80s: Little Cindel's parents get kidnapped by this giant called the Gorax, but get rescued by Wicket's people. This idea for a shot was never used, but I wish it had! Man, I gotta rent the DVD of the Ewok movies to get inspiration for Ewok fighting!
