I was just looking at various pieces of concept art painted by the great Ralph McQuarrie at the time the original trilogy was being made and I came across this piece, which I'm guessing was painted around the time of Return of the Jedi. Nothing special at first glance but then I realized that this looks just like something in a photo from the set of Star Wars Episode VII, recently taken by the people at TMZ! Now this doesn't really say much about the plot of the film other than confirming they are on Tatooine (which everybody assumed anyways from the sand), but to me this is the greatest find becuase it means they are still going back to the originals, paying homage through unused concept art from the man who really created the entire look of the galaxy. Little stuff like this makes me look forward to the movie more and more.
