Despite being a divisive cellular inclusion in the Skywalker Saga , the Disney Sequel Trilogy has the same larger-than-life scale and imaginative   visual constituent as the rest of the pop quad opera . Its bold new reference have become standout zep and villains in the Star Wars dealership , and nowhere is its operation of populace - building more abundant than in its concept art , much of which is compiled in the beautiful booksThe Art of Star Wars : The Force Awakens , The Art of Star Wars : The Last Jedi , andThe artistic production of Star war : The ascending of Skywalker .

Many of the characters boast in the three films underwent a bully quite a little of transformation before becoming who fans saw on the screen . The concept artistic production reveals the often monumental gap in the originative appendage from initial idea to reality , and fans will be surprised how standardized -or dissimilar- their favorite characters are from their original manifestations .

Rey

Originally name Kira in the first drafts ofStar Wars : The Force Awakens , Rey depart through quite a few optic transformation until arriving at the resilient pack rat - turned - Jedi fans know from the films . The Art of Star state of war : The Force Awakensby   Phil Szostak reveals Rey once see far more glamourous than her scrappy counterpart .

Eventually , Rey developed a personality in part found on her clothing , plan for her ego - reliant and independent lifestyle inThe Force Awakens , for the   animalism during Jedi training under Jedi Master Luke Skywalker inStar war : The Last Jedi , and for the rapid movements necessary for her lightsaber duels with Kylo Ren inStar war : The Rise of Skywalker .

BB-8

Just like R2 - D2 and C-3PO , BB-8 continue the Star Wars tradition of bringing fate of human personality to a mechanical entity . The anthropomorphic droid underwent a few different changes prior to the release ofStar Wars : The Force Awakens , but seemed to always maintain his spherical shape .

Early construct art for the droidappears to outfit his pear-shaped body with more of a unmarried - tread wheel like D - O fromStar Wars : The rising slope of Skywalker , and by and by rafts of greeblies ( a term created by the props department ofStar Wars : A New Hopeto interpret the plastic tsatske pose on everything from ship and weapons to droids ) .

Finn & Poe

In other drafts of the script forStar Wars : The Force Awakens , the eccentric of Finn was a light-haired stormtrooper name Sam , and he had a very different appearing than actor John Boyega who finally fill on the role . Poe had a completely shaved headway and a much larger body-build than actor Oscar Isaac .

Their relationship seemed to be very much the same as present in the film , with concept prowess showing Finn and Poe helping each other fly the coop from a First Order ship and clank landing place on Jakku .

Maz Kanata

With more than a thousand years of experience in the extragalactic nebula Maz Kanata , like Jedi Master Yoda has regard the ascent and fall of the Jedi Knights , the Galactic Empire , and the Republic .   In her castling on   Takodana , she help alleviate a boom underworld culture , in which she often acts as an operative .

Maz looked quite a bit more fearful than her owlish coming into court inThe Force Awakensaccording to this concept art , which sees her without her helpful goggles , and a destiny more shortsighted . Even after her final appearance in the Sequel Trilogy , her fiber left viewers with a lot of questions .

Leia Organa

Since Carrie Fisher was regress to the role of Leia Organa , little needed to be commute in footing of her appearance , so conception artists developedan extensive closet for her to wearthroughout the Sequel Trilogy that reflected certain ensembles she ’d endure in the Original Trilogy .

Leia wore more course garment as she matured in the Star Wars novels that took place after the evenfall of the Galactic Empire , and begin to once again assume political responsibilities during the rising of the New Republic . In that manner , they resemble the garment worn by her mother , Senator Amidala of Naboo . Her tactical ensembles were , just like General Organa herself , supposed to be both fashionable and useful .

Han Solo

The return of Han Solo , one of the most popular fictitious character from the Original Trilogy , was undeniably exciting for fan . When he tread into the Millennium Falcon with his trustworthy co - pilot Chewbacca , cinemas around the world flare into applause .

Since Harrison Ford was generate to the part , concept fine art only boast drastic changes to his costume , which originally included a long coating and more nape . This look was subsequently given to Beckett inSolo : A Star Wars Story , Han Solo ’s mentor .

Luke Skywalker

The cellular inclusion of Luke Skywalker , one of the most of import characters and constituent in the Skywalker Saga , was of utmost grandness to the Sequel Trilogy . Even as it expanded on the dangerous undertaking of new fiber , it had to give Luke proper case development , even if buff were n’t always happy with the change .

Luke ’s concept art reveal that his appearance and costume did n’t switch all that much from what appeared on screen , especially inStar Wars : The Last Jedi , though he never cradled his Church Father ’s helmet . Hamill was made to look very much like his mentor , Obi - Wan Kenobi when Kenobi first found immature Luke on Tatooine .

Kylo Ren

Kylo Ren ’s character go through the most preliminary transformation while the Sequel Trilogy was being made , in large part due to the fact that since his character was a surrogate Vader , he needed to resemble the infamous Sith Lordwhile also looking alone .

other concept artistic production forStar Wars : The Force Awakensincluded a mask and set of armour that very much resembled Vader ’s , and even afterStar Wars : The Last Jedi , when he destroyed his mask , conception art imagined him fashioning one that even more closely resemble Vader ’s , but this musical theme was later on scrapped .

Supreme Leader Snoke

Supreme Leader Snoke was always meant to be some variety of alien being , and J.J. Abrams was very particular about him not being an old grizzled human . rather , he became a hulking grotesquerie transformed not so much by age as by laceration from his past tense .

In concept prowess fromStar Wars : The Last Jedi , in which he ’s ascertain holding up Rey in his throne way , he bet very much like Emperor Palpatine , properly down to his expression and robed garments .

Anakin Skywalker

At one item , Hayden Christensen was turn over to return to the function of Anakin Skywalker for an appearance inStar war : The Rise of Skywalker . Instead of the ghost of his Father-God Han Solo appearing before him , Kylo Ren would see a spook of his granddad , Anakin Skywalker .

As this conception art reveals , Skywalker would have presented himself in a form that fused his mangled appearing in and out of the Sith armor he wore as Darth Vader , Ren ’s idol . Unfortunately , the concept was scrapped , but the provocative imagery remains .
