Rumor: Three More Pieces of 'The Force Awakens' Concept Art Leaked

By: Dominic Jones

It's happened again!  Three pieces of concept art, supposedly from Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, have been leaked.  The three pieces were posted to MillenniumFalcon.com earlier today.  As usual there is a chance these could turn out to be fake or rjected concepts and not in the film.  But, if you are trying to avoid all The Force Awakens spoilers then stop reading now.  This is you official SPOILER ALERT!

Here is the concept art,


Now, I believe we have seen descriptions of some of this before which leads me to believe it's real.  I find the first one very intriguing and I look forward to seeing what's going on in that seen.  Those stormtroopers and that hooded figure sure look intimidating as they stand in front of that burning village.  The second image looks like a cool design for a ship, it will be interesting to see if this actually gets realized.  It almost looks to comic book-y to appear on screen in Star Wars film.  And finally, the third image seems to be of Max Von Sydow's character.  It's interesting to not, if that is Sydow, there are no cybernetic enhancements on him as has been rumored for many months.  This could be a early or alternate design, or the idea of giving him cybernetic enhancements could have been abandoned at some point in the development of the film.

As always this is just a rumor until confirmed or denied by Lucasfilm or Disney.

  1. By "hooded figure" you meant Darth Vader, right?

  2. Ray Kozak:
    That's Kylo Ren. Vader is dead

  3. Thank you for the update! But that's not Kylo Ren because Kylo Ren wears a cloth hood. Cloth hoods aren't shiny or reflective like the "hood" in that picture.

  6. It's either Luke taking charge of the empire or a vader flashback.

  7. I wouldn't say it's Vader. It just looks like that due to the character's head shape and hood. Not a big "fan" of that ship design.

  8. The villain collects Sith relics . lightsabres . helmets.

  9. That is 100% Vader. Kylo Rens helmet is shorter at the back. There is no hood in this image either. Where are people getting a hood from? It also seems to me that the Stormtrooper helmets are the older version. Hard to tell though. I do believe this is a flashback scene.

  10. Not to mention warwick davis got a selfie with darth vader on the force awakens set. Probably a flashback

  11. Vader's figure is being used as a placeholder for the villain in this concept sketch as are the original trilogy stormtroopers. Remember that concept art is used in the production process way in advance of what eventually will be finalized and seen in the actual film.

  12. In concept art we have seen a character holding vaders mask ... just because it may be Vader's helmet , does not mean Vader is wearing it !! It may even be Luke !!

  13. It's not Luke, c'mob. Pretty sure Kylo Ren wears a helmet too: http://www.elmulticine.com/imagenes/noticias/13/kylo-ren-helmet.jpg

  14. And the award for the most useless ship design that screams "guys, I'm gonna get a sith-load of holes right in the middle of the fuselage" goes to...
