I've seen what little is floating around the net. I remember there being some on the Behind the Magic CD-ROM, but I no longer have it. Can anybody help me out? Forgive me if this is redundant or in the wrong spot.

The earliest drawings that I can remember is the bearded hero holding a lightsaber on the main logo of "The Star Wars".
And also a drawing of an early lightsaber duel of both individuals wearing masks to breathe in that environment.
And also a drawing of a bunch of stormtroopers holding lightsabers. IIRC, they also are holding shields.

Edit: They are from the Ralph McQuarrie book.

When Lucas originally came up with the concept of the lightsaber, or laser sword as he calls them, they were originally going to be very common weapons that anybody could learn how to use, as developement of Star Wars continued he changed his mind and reserved them for Sith and Jedi use, on account of their uniqueness.

Thanks, but I've already seen those. Is there anything else out there?

I'm sure there is. The site on which you saw the concepts we're probably on a small site, that would make it hard to find.
