STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI Concept Art Features Luke's Duel With Kylo Ren, Yoda, And More
With just a few days to go until Star Wars: The Last Jedi hits Blu-ray, Lucasfilm has released a new batch of concept art revolving around the divisive sequel's most spoilery moments. Check it out...
Star Wars: The Last Jedi split the franchise's fanbase straight down the middle; did writer and director Rian Johnson deliver an epic sci-fi masterpiece or make all the wrong decisions with these iconic characters? That's a debate which is likely to rage on for years to come but something everyone can agree on is that the movie featured a lot of very memorable moments which were worth talking about.
Now, with the Blu-ray release of the movie looming, Lucasfilm has released an awesome batch of concept art featuring key moments like the return of Yoda and Luke and Kylo Ren's showdown onCrait.
If you've seen the movie (which you really should have done by now), there will be nothing here which ruins the movie for you but these gorgeous pieces of artwork definitely shed some light on the thought process which went into bringing these moments to life. To check them out, all you need to do is click through the gallery below. Once you're done, let us know your thoughts in the usual place.
Yoda Returns
Here, Yoda's Force Ghost watches on after calling down lightning to burn the sacred Jedi Temple on Ahch-To. The iconic character's appearance was completely unexpected and a great surprise for fans.
The Tree Burns Down
Throughout the entirety of The Last Jedi, this temple and the texts within were made to sound important but we soon realised that wasn't the case (as did Luke while he watched them burn).
The Showdown
As Kylo Ren steps off his ship, Luke Skywalker watches on ready to do battle with his nephew. It wasn't the fight many fans hoped for but it was definitely a cool way to say farewell to the Jedi Master.
Is That All You've Got?
The First Order unleashes the full extent of its firepower on Luke Skywalker but there he stands, unscathed. We all assumed it was because he was so powerful, not just, well, a Force projection!
The Jedi Master Stands Tall
"Do you think you got him?" Unfortunately for Kylo Ren, he did not. This gorgeous visual of Luke standing amidst the red dust on Crait is definitely memorable as was his reaction to those blasts.
Uncle Vs. Nephew
The Last Jedi was a divisive move among fans and a big part of that stems from the fact that we never got to see an actual fight between Luke Skywalker and Kylo Ren. The scene was still cool, though.
Holdo's Sacrifice
Here, we get to see the aftermath of Holdo's decision to tear Supreme Leader Snoke's ship in two. It's not clear who that's supposed to be standing there watching the destruction but it's a cool visual.
