Leaked Star Wars Episode VIII Concept Art?
It appears the first leak of Star Wars Episode 8 production art has happened! While no images have been posted yet we do have a few descriptions. After the jump see what we found.
Via SWNN’s Cantina Forum user Darth Klaugott;
An Italian fandom site has published 2 Episode VIII scenes descriptions from concept arts that they managed to acquire thanks to an insider that has seen some concept arts.
The scene descriptions are HERE but I translated from italian to english here:
Scene 1 (single concept art image) – Ahch-To
In the scene there are Luke and Rey that appear to be engaged in lightsaber training under the rain on the planet of Ahch-To; Luke has his green saber, Rey has the blue one that belonged to her new Master and to Anakin before him. Rey and Luke’s outfits are very similar to the ones they wore in the final scene of The Force Awakens.
Scene 2 (taken from different concepts arts images pasted on the same paper and temporally connected) – Unknown Planet
The scene has been described as “epic” even if the quality of the images was lower than the previous one. It’s a warfare scene, set at sunset on an unknown planet very similar of Takodana but with a palace/temple much bigger than the one belonged to Maz Kanata (perhaps the planet is Yavin 4?).
In the first image there are war heavy fighting, with the Resistance on the edge to be defeated. Chewbacca is in a corner to protect a wounded figure (unknown who he/she is) and appears to be screaming loud. Kylo Ren is on the battlefield with a crossguard lightsaber but with him there is another villain character with a red lightsaber (another Knight of Ren? Benicio Del Toro’s character? It is unknown). On the Kylo Ren figure there is a post-it with the script “stronger than ever”.
Then there is a temporal sequence of images; on the first one you can see a ship coming from above with a door opening and some stormtroopers on the ground firing at it. In the next image you can see that Luke Skywalker and Rey were on the ship and behind the door that was opening; then they do a Force push together to push away the stormtroopers and jump down on the battlefield. Then the 2 vs 2 lightsaber battle against Kylo Ren and the other dark figure begins. In this sequence Luke has a different outfit, with hairs and a beard shorter and more refined, very similar to the last Mark Hamill photos appeared on the web. Luke’s outfit is surprisingly very similar to what young Obi-Wan Kenobi of Episode I wore, with the only differences to have short sleeves and a white habit.
On both the concept arts it was also written “not yet finished”.
