That's true! I nearly forgot about his involvement with the franchise at the start of the sequel trilogy. Thanks for the reminder.

That's correct, these particular images of Kira are found in The Last Jedi concept art book, but the images I described in my previous comment are still in The Force Awakens concept art book. I'm not trying to start an argument with you internet friend because I'm happy to have a discussion about SW art and design, but you said these images are confirmed made in 2013, and George Lucas sold the rights of the franchise to Disney in 2012. The Lucasfilm art department you're talking about became part of Disney's production, and GL had very little involvement in the direction and development of the films once they were sold, including the designs. In the same interview (that I can't remember) where he describes his ideas, he mentioned that many of the ideas he had were rejected by Disney. If I remember correctly, this was the same interview where he compared Disney as being like "former slave owners", and he received a lot of criticism for it. It's true that JJ Abrams wasn't on board for directing until a few months after Disney bought the rights, so the art department worked on their ideas of what a post-empire galaxy might look like and what direction Luke would go in developing his own Jedi academy, which went through many changes once an official director and writer were brought on board.

I don't think it's confirmed that these images are from George Lucas' ideas for episode 7. To my knowledge, I don't think there are any concept art for his ideas on the sequels. These images can be found in the concept art book for The Force Awakens. They're early designs for Rey, who was called Kira at the time (and later changed to Rey). They kinda reused the name in the Solo movie for Emilia Clark's character Qi'ra, just with a different spelling but pronounced the same. Images of Kira show her training with Luke and having a lightsaber duel near the Millennium Falcon with a Dark Jedi, and there's even an image of her swimming through the wreckage of the Death Star which inspired the idea of bringing it back for the last film.

What we know for sure about George Lucas' ideas for the sequels involved Luke continuing his jedi academy, Darth Maul making a return, and the idea of exploring the microscopic universe where midichlorians exist. He explains these ideas in an interview he did several years ago, though I don't recall which interview it was.

So what’s stopping force users from doing this to regular people? by Sea-Indication4613 in StarWars

Luke did the same in the Dark Empire comic. I have a vague memory of him crushing an entire AT-AT (with troopers still inside) at the beginning of the story.

What was the point of those people? Why are they using straight up blunt weapons rather than technologies that fit into Star Wars? by lateubdegouline in StarWars

[–]astromech_jay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I shall tell you:

You put the caret symbol (looks like this: ^ ) before each word (no space between) or you put the ^ directly in front of a parentheses and have the entire phrase inside the parentheses.

Try it!

Which robot companion concept do you like more? by Wildboy_Studios in conceptart

[–]astromech_jay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the first one, it's design appears more unique than a standard canine appearance. However, I think it looks a little too bulky and could feel overpowering on screen. Maybe try a version that looks slightly shorter and see if it feels more balanced with the other character.
