Art by Ralph McQuarrie for the second Death Star. RETURN OF THE JEDI (1983).

Originally, the Rebel attack that’s the climax of the film was going to be on Had Abbadon, capital of the Empire. Hence those McQuarrie paintings of Coruscant I posted yesterday. If you read the story conferences for ROTJ, you can see it was a close call actually—the plan to use Had Abbadon comes back almost as often as it’s discarded—but eventually, to the others’ dismay, Lucas chose to go with a second Death Star. One of those What Ifs.

ROTJ was the first Star Wars film I saw, so for me it wasn’t a second Death Star: it was a rather eerie zombie construction that looked like the ghost of a dead moon. I thought it was a fascinating sight anyway.

The Gungan Sacred Place Was A Ancient Construction On Naboo. It Was Of Great Significance To The Gungans,

The Gungan Sacred Place was a ancient construction on Naboo. It was of great significance to the Gungans, who used it as a meeting place and hiding spot in times of turmoil. It was full of stone monuments and ruins, and was the site of negotiation between Gungan and Naboo during the Battle of Naboo

Darth Maul Concept Art By Iain McCaig For THE PHANTOM MENACE (1999), A Film That Was Apparently Aimed

Darth Maul concept art by Iain McCaig for THE PHANTOM MENACE (1999), a film that was apparently aimed at children.

Not many people realize Darth Maul actually has his own musical motif in the film: it’s not “Duel of the Fates”, but this eerie lone wolf howl you hear in “The Droid Invasion And The Appearance of Darth Maul” on the soundtrack at 3:20. A splendid little bit that you might not have noticed—but your brain did (as that review goes). I always feel THE PHANTOM MENACE could have been as good as any Star Wars film if only Lucas had collaborated more. It’s a first draft brimming with potential.
