    I gotta say, it's pretty good timing, since The Star Wars is supposed to come out around the same time.

    And according to an editor from Abrams Books, this will collect "the best concept art from both trilogies, videogames, plus a few surprises."

    Must have!!! I hope the good stuff is not in the exclusive pricy edition only... we NEVER learned what the exclusives were for the other Art books after years even... nobody could list it or tell me. *sigh* not even tiny thumbnail previews.

    Will this actually be new, previously unseen concept art? Or just a compilation of stuff from the Making Of books?

    Judging by the old PT-era webdocs, there are gazillions of concept images unreleased to the public. No doubt many of those will be used for future projects, but I'm sure they could afford to toss in some new ones.

    Although judging by the cover alone, chances are this book will include the usual concept suspects...

    So this is about a month away (release date was actually pushed back to the 15th), and Abrams has a blurb on its site:

    "From Ralph McQuarrie and Joe Johnston to Doug Chiang, Ryan Church, Iain McCaig, Erik Tiemens, and the next generation of animation and video-game artists, Star Wars Art: Concept collects, for the first time ever, the very best Star Wars conceptual artwork. As curated by George Lucas, the artwork that helped bring the Star Wars Saga to life is revealed in all its glory, featuring pre-production drawings and paintings from the Original Trilogy, the Prequel Trilogy, the TV shows, and the video games, including an exclusive preview of artwork from the highly anticipated 1313. Spanning the years from 1975 to the present, Star Wars Art: Concept is a fascinating look at the process of conceptual design. From pen and paint and paper to the digital realm, the result is the creation of breathtaking iconic worlds, vehicles, and characters that successive generations have embraced and made their own."

    Interesting about 1313. [face_thinking]

    Wow Amazon has it for 40% off, that's pretty impressive considering it hasn't even been released yet.

    Great stuff. Methinks I spy a Mon Cal in that image, center below the AT-AT.

    Drat, between this and the new Making of ROTJ book, I guess I will be dropping some coin on books again!

    SOOOOO PREEEETTTTTYYYY! I have to get this book, but my wallet's a little sparse at the moment. Well, Christmas is only two months away. :D

    And I definitely get a Bounty Hunter vibe from the 1311 art, mostly the Coruscant levels of course.

    That 1313 art looks pretty neat, makes me wish they had completed the game even more now.
