[pjvader]

who is the man? DP is the man (as always!)
way to relaunch

oh and they all look amazing even if they don't make it on screen, gonna make a nice "art of" book
grave robber? tell me more

[bfett81]

JJ is nailing this so effing hard.

[CoGro]

Speechless. The internet will explode in 3... 2...

[pjvader]

I bet that is the last shot of the movie!

[SI]

Yep.

Thanks for flying MF.com

[Freezus]

I'm new here and man these rules...

[KyleKartanMG]

Ony one way to put his: SPEECHLESS AWESOME STUFF!

[Topeka]

Holy shit.
MF and the crew are back.

The hangar and Skellig stuff looks fantastic. The castle evokes the gothic lair that was concepted for Vader.

[buzzfunk]

Holy hell! I just got the email! I cannot believe it. Here we go again!. These concepts (look almost real) look incredible. Post war SW universe. They look like the SW i remember as a kid! JJ - good job so far. I have not read a single rumor. Hope i can hold on to that! (righttttt)

[Via Antiqua]

New Here!

Awsome Stuff!
Def and EP. IV feel.

Judging from the different Pics i wonder if it is Anakin's AOTC Saber or Anakin/Luke's ROTS/ANH Saber.

I'm also thinking they may let Hamil shine as a dark character since he voiced Darth Bane in the Clone Wars and did so well with the joker.

It's almost as if his face will have no emotion and it will showcase his voice (I.E. Voice acting over his acting skills).

Maybe Luke has split personalities.

Hopefully in ep. 8-9 we'll see Ahsoka "appear from the other side of the galaxy ala Gary Kurtz quote and will serve as the actual other hope". - The father's student saves/heals his fallen Son.

[Mike_Droideka]

Absolutely fucking speechless.
These look glorious.
Looks gritty and dark - hope they don't forget about the lightheartedness of the saga.
I'm blown away. Imagine the bloody trailer!

[Earwax]

Well fuck me !
This is beyond awesome.

[BlackCriminalGangster2050]

Fucking awesome. Thanks, DP.

[Sith Hunter#1]

We've just took our 1st step into a larger world!
Outstanding!

[Zidious]

Nice job! So glad MF is still in the game!

[D_Librarian]

Just superb. Other sites write about it, MF shows it. Welcome back guys.

[dromag]

Great stuff! Been a steady visitor of MF since the end of the Prequels, the site has always been full of insightful analysis and information. Glad to have been given the opportunity to join the community.

[otero1]

Lawd have mercy! Amazing art!

[Lord Tuvitor]

Great finds, DP! MF is back!

[Bandersnatch]

I have nothing to say, other than...

[E_CHU_TA!]

Well done, DP.

The blue saber is confusing.



But, such things can change between concept and final production.

[Rufus2fist]

MF DP is the man, took me years to get registered here. So happy to be able to good show.

these are fantastic, very much in the world I want to see. Story is for another day but visually unbelievable.
whom ever came up with the Downed AT-AT as a home deserves a raise! that is far more than I thought from descriptions.

again thank you

[Cryostar]

Way to hit it out of the park, DP.

These are freaking awesome. Love the vader stuff.

[bearvomit]

now THIS is podracing! Awesome DP! other sites just tease and write descriptions.... MF swings for the fences and always will!


now onto the pics:

Not sure I like the new Apple / R2 unit.
Fallen AT-AT shelter is brilliant
The Graverobber guy is NOT Luke
Love the throneroom inside the cave.

Also love the overall look of these. It's a "used" and lived in world again! None of this shiny green screen, polished Prequel crap we ended up with. The new art department on this is gorgeous!

[JohnS]

Things have been too quiet around MF. Just when I was starting to miss the old days when this was the place to be. Wow, what a re-launch. Great work.

[AdamK]

Aw yiss the sweet smell of classic Star Wars. I don't care if JJ makes this into an explosion-filled action-fest, I need it now! Thanks for the images a thousand times!

[Sharhem]

This was amazing! Thanks for posting them!

Loved the TIE pattern that the Vader helmet is made of!

Also, I'm new here, hello guys! I've been trying to register forever, being a reader since 2005.

Can't wait for more!

[vannazz]

both the same character?

[Sith Hunter#1]

I love this image... the fact that there's another at-at, a scout walkers head & the downed tie fighter all partially buried in the sand makes me think it might be an old abandoned Imperial garrison. This movie is gonna blow the socks off anything we've seen previous!

[juicemonkey]

Nice!! Vader helmet looks awsome. Grave robber looks nasty. Looks like we are going to get a decent dose of Vader in this next one. Not sure how that storyline is going to play out. Exactly what I'm looking for...it's going to be a great build up.

[SVTCobra]

Wow. Holy crap that vader helmet pic is completely badass

[Treadwell]

Wowzers - great stuff!

Looks like the really Falcon's getting around in this movie...

[royalguard96]

These are great, but a robot-armed Chewbacca makes me sad.

[VT-16]

Thanks for the MF motherload.

[Treadwell]

Just out of interest, here's a reminder of Mollo's original sketch for a character called Montross, on the right:

The name, at various times during the genesis of ANH, referred to the science officer on a pirate ship, an Imperial bureaucrat, and then one of Jabba's right-hand men...

It will be interesting to see how the name is recycled here. I don't reckon Montross is our "grave-robber", I reckon he's more of a link to the underworld our heroes go to for info.

As if he's somehow linked the the people who actually do the cybernetic parts - or went to the same people/planet as the grave-robber did for his parts - and can lead our heroes to them... If you look at him, he's more of a sympathetic, down-and-out sort of character. Slumped at a bar with a drink.

And that sketch of him passing a document or pass of some kind across the table. Or maybe he's gambling. Either way, it's a classic "informant/underworld connection" type pose. He doesn't look "evil" like the grave-robber dude.

[Chostomo]

Absolutely beautiful!

We are almost full gear!

Feel like a teenager again, this is exactly what i needed!

Thanks, DP ... you, sir, are The Man!

[DoubleSith]

MF 4-fuckin'-eva!

[VT-16]

Concept art of Imperial Han and cyborg Chewie + rumors of Luke being the new villain, makes it seem like the lines are blurring.

The old quote by Lucas that the Sequels would be more abstract and deal with moral choices made by the new generation etc. makes sense. It definitely could be that after decades of fighting, the heros become the villains. In the Prequels, the public handed away their power to a tyrant. In the Sequels, the public became the tyrants?

It's becoming as convoluted as a Metal Gear game.

[Thundercracker]

We need some "Back In Black" blasting up in here.

All the artwork looks great. The Grave-Robber stuff, the AT-AT shelter and the Millennium Falcon parked in front of the gothic looking castle I'd pick as my top favorites.

Right on, DP & MF!

[bearvomit]

Devin Faraci from some lame spoiler site just got his pussy hurt over DP leaking these to the world:

from his twitter:

• "A ton of EPISODE VII concept art has leaked.
This stuff was going around to scoopers weeks ago - bummer people will now get fired"

• "I won't link to it,
but it shouldn't be hard to find. Congrats on losing someone a job whoever posted it".

• "Now that the art is out there I'll tell you about my favorite piece
- a new lightsaber with a sharp bottom called the "Wampa Claw."

• "if the STAR WARS art is out bc a scooper shared it around,
he's not only burning his source hard, he's cutting off future scoops. Dumb."

• "my reversal on STAR WARS comes partially from story details I've heard
and partially from seeing this concept art (and more)".

• "If you're running scoops your #1 priority is to protect your sources.
Every good scooper sits on stories if they will hurt the source.."

[SI]

Sounds like a bit of a btfo flog tbh.

[Thundercracker]

Heh, Devi was already btfo over Variety releasing the RDJ in Cap3 story before him the other day.

[MasterKyobi9d9]

Excited when that email came in this morning..

You know spoiler season is in full gear when MF.com is back!! Great, great pics.

[Zaius]

Beautiful artwork

[E_CHU_TA!]

It's beautiful, indeed. I now wonder about the identity of the artists. Also, are these images that were approved by Lucas prior to the Disney sale or have these been developed under Abrams’ guidance?

Judging from the different Pics i wonder if it is Anakin's AOTC Saber or Anakin/Luke's ROTS/ANH Saber.

Anakin’s AOTC saber got bifurcated in a droid factory. So, I doubt that's the answer. It looks a bit like the ROTS/ANH saber, but not spot-on.

It’s possible that it’s not a Skywalker hilt, but one that's mistakenly identified as being either Anakin's or Luke’s.

The Graverobber guy is NOT Luke

I have to agree. Presumably, the artist would have made the likeness resemble Hamill if the character is in fact Luke.

It might be my imagination, but the jawline has a similarity to Ian McDirmind’s. (Consequently, Palpatine’s first name has recently been confirmed as Sheev.)



Who knows if the identity of the cyborg will be revealed in this episode or a later one?

The castle evokes the gothic lair that was concepted for Vader.

Yes, but it also looks a lot like Serenno. The image may lend credence to the rumor about one or more of Dooku's decedents playing a part in the film. (Maybe Gwendoline Christie plays the “Countess Dooku?” After all, she’s only a few inches shorter than Christopher Lee.)

I apologize if this has been mentioned already: Entertinment Weekly has an article about the images / this site.

[Joe1138]

Cool stuff, looks like Abrams is making one hell of a fan film.

[Cryostar]

Has anyone else noted in the "Carosel" pictures, that there's actually a smaller YT-1300 freighter that's being referenced, that's a bit different than the falcon? Maybe those x-wings weren't with the Falcon, but with this new freighter.

I think the smaller one is reference to the original Falcon model. Correct me if I'm wrong but I remember reading that they used a smaller outside model where the actual 1:1 interior set would have not fit inside. Now they scaled the Falcon bigger so it can have the actual 1:1 interior. So now the Falcon is as big as it should actually be.
