    Just got the Art of Book the Force Awakens book and there's so many cool designs that didn't get used. Really surprised.

    What's the explanation for that first image?

    I'm planning on tracking down a copy tomorrow. I'm too impatient to wait for an online order :)

    This movie could've been a lot different. Lots of different ideas in the book.

    The second design is cool, but I prefer the final mask.

    Yeah the final Kylo Ren is the best choice.

    Just says KK had an idea and it was sand falling on Luke and Luke not being effected by it.

    Cannot wait to get this. Ordered it from Amazon weeks ago, but it hasn't shipped yet. Supposed to go out today. I love seeing alternate designs. There were some amazing ones for the prequels and some made it into canon in other forms, such as Maul designs becoming the Night Sisters and an early "Dooku" design becoming Asajj Ventress. And we already know of two TFA designs being reused for Rebels.

    I got the Cross Sections and Visual Dictionary. The Art of Book has the most information. It's very in-depth.

    Get my copy of the Art of book tomorrow.

    But, being really impatient...
    What's the deal with these Yoda-esque pics (can't quite make out the text in the Amazon previews) are they Maz concepts...?

    Yeah I'm curious about the Yodas too. I guess they're what Maz became? I'm still bummed about Maz and Snoke. Two important characters rushed. Maybe they'll make them better in 8.

    I think a lot of the concepts for Kylo Ren are utilized for the Knights of Ren. Stay tuned for Episode VIII. :)

    Based on a page leaked on Reddit, turns out Rey and Finn were named Kira and Sam in Arndt's story. So it wasn't just a cover name.

    @Derth Nadir; From what I understand, they went through a lot of different possible name choices.

    In a piece of art where "Kira" is holding a Lightsaber with "Sam" behind and beside her with a gun, Kira is described by Michael Arndt as a "loner, hothead, gear-head, badass" and Sam is described as "pure charisma". Kira looks just like Natalie Portman. Sam is a long-haired white guy.

    I still think Rey is named Kira...

    the X-Wing helmet said REY. That is where she got her name..

    Interesting. It belonged to pilot Dosmit "Ræh".
