Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith | Padme’s funeral on Naboo | Concept Art vs Screen

Huge solemn crowds line Palace Plaza in Theed, the capital of Naboo, as six beautiful white gualaars draw a flower-draped open casket bearing the remains of a beloved Senator through the Triumphal Arch, her fingers finally and forever clasping a snippet of japor, one that had been carved long ago by the hand of a nine-year-old boy from an obscure desert planet in the far Outer Rim…                                                                 (Revenge of the Sith, Matthew Stover)

Darth Maul concept art by Iain McCaig for THE PHANTOM MENACE (1999), a film that was apparently aimed at children.

Not many people realize Darth Maul actually has his own musical motif in the film: it’s not “Duel of the Fates”, but this eerie lone wolf howl you hear in “The Droid Invasion And The Appearance of Darth Maul” on the soundtrack at 3:20. A splendid little bit that you might not have noticed—but your brain did (as that review goes). I always feel THE PHANTOM MENACE could have been as good as any Star Wars film if only Lucas had collaborated more. It’s a first draft brimming with potential.

I love the outrageously early 00′s look on these Bith.
