Half a century in the making: a brief history of Alderaan via the stunning concept art of Ralph McQuarrie, Ryan Church and the many, many other talented people behind the scenes of Star Wars.
Wow, these concept arts are spectacular. If Alderaan would be a city in a country within the real world it would be Geneva in Switzerland. Idyllic, prosperous and above the worldly matters. A perfect place to raise a princess. However, Tatooine would be something like Aleppo in Syria. A perfect place to raise a future Jedi Master. Ascetic and harsh environment, removing all possibilities to have a spoiled and luxury upbringing. Thank you for writing about Star Wars.
That imperial city concept art appears on the 2021 Japanese ESB soundtrack record. I’m going to have a bit about it on Friday. Thanks for the info, I had assumed it was cloud city concept art for Empire.
