Abrams’ second (and presumably last) movie in the Star Wars universe not only concludes the Rey/Finn/Poe trilogy that started with 2015’s The Force Awakens, but it also closes the door on the Skywalker Saga, which started more than 40 years ago with A New Hope. A later image further emphasizes that point, as we see Rey beside a pair of Sith statues - this time on Exegol - but embodying the same idea.Īnother piece of art shows Kylo Ren flying through the blood-soaked space of Coruscant, with one of the more interesting images being what Jenkins called an “ash-covered Coruscant,” with Rey landed on it in Red 5, which made an appearance in the final cut.Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker marks the end of an era, one that’s been a long time coming. It would align with the fact that a Sith shrine sits beneath the Jedi Temple at Coruscant, which was even believed to wield some form of influence. The first image shows Emperor Palpatine, indicating that Coruscant may have served as the backdrop for his return, unlike the film’s Exegol. Trevorrow left the project in 2017, whereas Abrams stepped on in September of that year with this art dating back to November.Ĭoruscant was believed to be a focal point of Trevorrow’s film, which is likely why it remains here, however, its utilization seems very different. Why bring Coruscant back?įirst, it’s important to acknowledge that this concept art is not from Colin Trevorrow’s initial story, but rather, the beginning stages of J.J. Ultimately, we know this didn’t pan out, but it leads to an interesting discussion about just what could have been. However, there was a chance to see the planet once again in The Rise of Skywalker.Ĭoncept art from the film, released by production designer Kevin Jenkins and laid out here on Reddit, reveal the early plans for the planet’s return.
Of course, barring some later editions of Return of The Jedi, it was absent in the original trilogy and the latest appearances have come outside the main films.
