Probably even earlier in TFA. The way Rey was able to tune into Kylo's abilities and how evident that connection was from the go lines up well.
Whether or not that was the actual plan back then.

Sure but even that is treated in such a throwaway manner. Palpatine mentions the dyad once right before he drains their life away. Do most people in the audience even know what a dyad is? We know that the Dyad was originally a much larger part of the story and more properly explained, but like everything else it was hacked away at until almost nothing remained.
The bond between them was probably the only continuation from TLJ that was done well but it's relevance to Sheev was poorly explained.
Idk man, that spider dude on top of the giant goblin baby looks pretty weird and I think most people would've hated it. Feels like there's some "Grass is always greener" going on here.
Although the idea of of some weird gross alien who's extremely powerful in the Dark side of the Force is cool, basically the reverse of Yoda. They could've had something like that in TFA or TLJ, feels a bit late in the last movie

We're talking about the lowest rated SW film in history, in this case the grass can't possibly any more burnt and dried than what we got.

We coulda had sad kylo memes :(
I see those pictures and think of all the awesome directions this trilogy could've gone with Driver's acting range.
But then I look down and see Kylo fall too hard and say 'ow!' for comedic relief.

Star Wars fans have a tendency to think that any unused ideas are better.
In this case, they are.
Remember that Rey makes out with Space Hitler 2.0.

Lucasfilm also think every unused idea is good considering they always eventually recycle them (even Chewie's oldest design ever was recycled into Star Wars Rebels)

And people said Supreme Leader Kylo Ren wouldn't make a good final villain...
Who knows how it would have turned out. I would say that there is nothing in Trevorrow's resume that suggests that his film would have been received better.
I guarantee that if images from the artbooks of TFA and TLJ were posted in here most would be saying how cool they look etc. It's the very nature of these books that you're seeing artists unhinged ideas. It almost always looks better than the final product. That's when the rubber meets the road.
Oracle scene is making me want to read the leaked script. Like, I can't believe Treverrow's script might've been better.
Oracle scene was in JJ's script, not Colin's. It was cut from TROS very late in production.
Chewie speakes english for the first time "I'm going to rip your arms off and beat you to death with them"
The Oracle was from the JJ/Terrio version, Tor Valum was from Trevorrow.
yeah i am sure disney would put that nightmare in one of their movies,kinda cool art though
What the hell were they thinking? This shit is way too cool for Star Wars. I haven't seen any of the sequels and the setting in its current form doesn't interest me in the slightest, but this... this I would watch.
Ok. Rumour from informed people on twitter is that Ewan Mcgregor has left the Obi-Wan show! Not sure it is thread worthy at this stage, though. Just hints so far.
The thread on this got closed because it's literally just memes at the moment.
One of the only things i liked in ROS was Babu Frik, so i feel pretty safe in saying if there was another space oddity with a weird vibe & cool design in this nothing of a movie then i would probably enjoy it
OP

I dunno, Rey kinda looks like Orlando Bloom/Legolas here
love this one
I'm honestly hoping someone makes an official story release of this stuff, like the old original draft Star Wars comic.
I absolutely would pay for a graphic novel of THIS version of the story because it's grabbing my attention far more than anything I saw in Rise of Skywalker.

It's like you guys have never made the connection that great art can't save fucked up direction. Look at this!!!!

As good as Adam Driver is, I feel like the writing of TFA never really sold me on him ever being Han and Leia's son.
The worst part about the Treverrow leak is how suddenly people seem to think everything comes from his script. Most of the art is almost exclusively JJ Script stuff. The amount of prototyping that never gets used to stuff that actually gets cut is massive. Especially in TROS where there is a good hour+ of movie cut
I thought it was going to be a point, like Kylo is cosumed by the past he claims to hate but no he just puts it back on to look cool.
This is . . . not an achievement.
But his version of Ep IX sounds really interesting. And more in line with the story established.
And Phantom Menace is STILL widely regarded as an artistic triumph, at the very least, and it rightly was nominated and won many awards for its art direction, costumes, visual effects, and more. And some of the art that you posted that was accurately brought to the screen was some of the stuff that was praised as highlights of the film.It's like you guys have never made the connection that great art can't save fucked up direction.

Yeah, execution is ultimately what matters most, and I actually think many of the prequels could've been salvaged in the hands of a better director.
But it's not just the art SKILL that we're interested in for the recent batch of concept art; it's the CONCEPTS. Some of those ideas, those themes, those character moments are absolutely arresting and evocative in a way the final film wasn't. Those story beats we're seeing - of the Oracle, of Supreme Leader Kylo Ren, of Chewbacca's interrogation - all have a gravity and imagination to them that was desperately needed.
Yep, it might have actually been...interesting. And something we haven't seen before.
Looks like what was in the film to me.It's like you guys have never made the connection that great art can't save fucked up direction. Look at this!!!!

Um, all that is in the film.
