Concept art vs screen use

[Rovingjack]

Has anybody else gone through the making of ____ books and documentaries to find the concepts that never made it to the screen or final construction, out of the desire to see these things real?

I admit there's a part of me that likes looking through the almost props more than the things that made it through to the screen.

Anyone have good sources for some of that? I know the Star Wars movies usually are really really good about making books of the things that were part of the process.

Yep, Ralph Mcquarrie is great for that.... People are still building all kinds of stuff based entirely off of concept drawings he did that never made it to the big screen, with a lot of success. I like a lot of his concept stuff much more than what finally translated to screen.

There is a Star Wars design that I always wanted to build that was a step beyond the Destroyer droid called an Annihilator droid. Basically a walking giant gun platform.

I actually made the concept saber from ep7. Working from concept art gives you the freedom to built your own interpretation of how you think I should look like.
