    Warning: This is a speculation thread but contains spoilers.


    There have been many pieces of concept art associated with the Force Awakens that have been leaked. All of them, for the most part, have stayed pretty consisted to what the plot of this movie will be. This forum has done a great job of interpreting most of the concept art. However, over a year later and this piece still bugs the heck out of me:

    What is going on in this scene? The contrasts clearly are suggestive of a hero and a villain. Where and when does this take place?

    I don't think this is a concept art for TFA, it's a ROTJ concept art (Luke entering palpatine's throneroom)

    It's from a leak of artwork that occurred over a year ago. If you don't want to see the shots, that's fine. But here is a list of the images it is from if you are curious.
    WARNING: SPOILERS!!!

    http://www.starwarsunderworld.com/2014/10/massive-amount-of-episode-vii-concept.html


    Every other piece of concept art essentially made the movie in some form. I don't see why this piece would be completely removed from the film. It could have definitely changed in some capacity. But I think certain characteristics must have stayed the same.

    Maybe Rey enters it while exploring Starkiller base and has a little chat with Snoke?

    Similar to the classic Mcquarrie work, but this is different - not 100% this is the same as the cave scene work. I never saw this pop up on Indie Revolver's concept art leaks waaaaay back. But it does bear a resemblance to some stuff JW at MSW was referencing back when he was talking about a cyborg (and cyborg Luke) in a castle.

    Looking at that link and the Indie Revolver posts, we can actually pretty well confirm everything else in these concept pieces (downed walker, c-wing, vaders mask...) so yeah, this one is worth discussing.

    Don't think it's an evil Luke though.

    Rey meets Luke.

    But seriously, imagine if it actually was.

    *Cough* That is not the piece of concept art you're looking for *Subtle hand wave*

    I believe this is the piece you're confusing it with Suspicious Moon?

    Possibly Rey meeting with Luke at the end of the movie.

    But details can change. Concepts are broad ideas.

    I believe this concept art was probably made around the time when they were still flirting with the idea of an evil Luke.

    EDIT: It could also be Snoke.

    Hmm. Maybe that leaked picture of Luke was purposely leaked by JJ and co to steer us away from the Evil Luke theory...

    Oh god, Dec 17 hurry up already!

    It's hard to tell what that concept is cause it is very vague but the character in the blue light looks female at least and have short pants like Rey ?

    I always liked that concept and get a OT feel cause the light and color scheme reminds me of the night scenes in Jabba's palace.
    That costume is a bit similar too with the same kind of small back pack.

    1. It could be an interpretation of Rey approaching luke on skellig

    2. It could be a design that did not make the final cut.

    those would be my best guesses.

    OK, first of all: this is not a cave.
    While it looks like one with the stalagtites, the walls, floor and especially the door are clearly handcrafted.

    Now, yes, it's possible to smooth the walls of a cave, but to add an elevated throne platform, ornate wall elements and a door, of all things, removes that dwelling far from cave territory.
    Stone house, maybe even underground, yes, but possibly completely manmade.
    Stalagtites occur naturally when water, heavy in minerals drips through a ceiling.
    All that tells us (especially since they are plenty, but small) is that this thing is old as Blast.

    Let me be the first to say it: that door? Skellig Michael.

    [​IMG]

    What concerns me greatly is the fact that we have the duality of red and blue, Sith and Jedi, Dark side and light side.

    Normally it'd say this is Rey finding Luke, but ugh...

    Though the person entering totally looks like Rey. Slender, ragtag clothing, feminin posture with the hand dipped away from her body, alsmost dancerlike.
    The seated figure wears their pants tucked into their boots. Like, oh let's say, Luke did when he went to confront the Emperor above Endor. And when he lit the funeral pyre for his father.

    Or... all of RotJ

    The sharp divide worries me, like, holy heck, what the effing thing?!

    Go and watch TESB Cave seen again and look at the 'entrance' that Luke walks through...

    EDIT: I'll save you the time. Check out this image that shows said shot as well as what the concept artists had on their tv in TFA BHS shot.

    That's what I was alluding at:
    Not just a cave but an old, old place. Man-made.
    We call it a cave, because it feels like a cave, but it really isn't it's much more.

    I have this thread flying around about how Luke hid himself to take the dark side Force users on a merry chase, to give other's the chance to find and train Force-sensitive people while the Dark Side's eyes are turned elsewhere.

    And yeah, it makes sense that he hides the same way Yoda did.

    It would also explain the different color themes in the picture.

    I definitely think it's Rey finding Luke. I'm not reading anything into the color scheme other than light penetrating dark. It suggests that Luke has really been secluded... shut off from the world and universe around him.
