Villages on Kashyyyk. Keep in mind that this was originally in the early drafts of the first movie script. It later got repurposed in Jedi and the Wookiees were shrunk down to ewoks, and then it was revisited again in Sith as it was originally intended.
Another cool alternate logo.
Above the treetops on Dagobah, a view that we never really got, sadly, in the movies.
A draft movie poster style bit of art, which was probably done after principal photography, given how closely everything resembles the way it turned out in the movie.
A totally random piece of art called a surveilance station, but I don't know where it was supposed to be. Looks like a concept that wasn't actually used.
A familiar view of Mos Eisley from the mesa top.
The imperial city, not yet called Coruscant. The initial concept was much more Egyptian-esque, obviously. Not sure if that is meant to be the senate building or the Jedi temple, or just random city scenes.
Part of the Bespin scenery, which was never used in Empire, sadly. Cool little satellite facilities.
This is meant to be Yavin IV. The Expanded universe made all this out to be Sith leftovers, but I doubt that Lucas intended that, or McQuarrie either one.
An early concept of the rebel base on Yavin IV. It ended up being redesigned in a different direction.
Swamp monsters on Dagobah. I wish they'd showed these, but then again, they may have looked bad in 1980, and I didn't really want to see a mid-90s Special Edition gratuitous add-on of them either.
Two more views of Jabba's palace area on Tatooine.
Double Death Stars under construction, over what was meant to be the imperial capital, known as Had Abaddon at this stage of development.
Another Imperial City concept piece. Not too different from how it actually turned out, although the end result was more skyscraper and less cathedral looking in general. Sadly.
A fascinating street scene on Tatooine with a fat Gamorrean woman looking in askance at some loitering Gamorrean striplings or teens or other layabouts.
