Dali does Wars
What would Star Wars have become if Salvador Dali was the concept artist?
Trivia note: It was inspired by Dali's The Elephants painting, which you can see here .
Good evening Alderaan!
Artist Hugh Fleming created this rock god-inspired image, and it now hangs near one of the entrances to Lucasfilm's San Francisco campus.

Jabba's hippie days?
All we usually see of Jabba is him in his later years. But what if he had a wild, hairy youth?

LEGO chess
It might not be holographic chess (in which it is always best to let the Wookie win, by the way), but this LEGO chess model is just superb.
Our favourite bit? The bolt-shooting Emperor.

LEGO Fett
But if you think chess sets are cool, you haven't seen anything yet. This Mandalorian armour was created for MegaCon in February this year.

Diorama drama
One last, amazing piece of LEGO Wars artwork... This masterpiece is a miniature Hoth base and boasts almost every element from the Empire scenes set in the location.

Falcon PC Case
Like LEGO, the computer case mod hobbyist faction has a lot of crossovers with Star Wars.
Designer Russ Caslis also built a wireless mouse in the shape of an X-Wing - now that's dedication!

Dewback daddy
You might think that this desert-set image is concept art from the film itself.
And it even went on to inspire Lucas' own designs for the Dewbacks of Tatooine.

Joe Jonhston's early days...
And now for some actual concept art from the original trilogy. First up, a design by Joe Johnston, a man now better known as the director of Jumanji, Jurassic Park III and currently slaving away on The Wolf Man.

McQuarrie original
Some more amazing, actual concept art, this time from the world's most famous SW artist, Ralph McQuarrie.
Would have been cool to see it in the movie, but we're betting the budget didn't allow for it...
( Editor's Note: The planet below may in fact by an early drawing of Coruscant, given the circular cityscape on the surface. According to Producer Gary Kurtz, one early idea for Jedi was going to involve a rebel attack on the Imperial capital).

Snow White Wars?
Titled "Snow White And The Seven Stormtoopers", this nifty piece is by Ceth Stiefel, who seems to have a habit of blending Disney and Star Wars.

Star Wars Vs Paris
French artist Cedric Delsaux has done some amazing work manipulating images of Paris and adding more than a little Wars-set flavour.

More McQuarrie
More art from the genius brain/hands of Ralph McQuarrie, with these being concept T-shirt illustrations that never made it to fabric, and were lost for ages.

Morning routine
This toaster was an exclusive that we saw at Comic-Con.
And thinking of Stormtroopers in the morning, we also like the image of one such warrior getting ready for a day of interstellar civil war and being unable to shoot straight at heroes.
