Lightsaber Duel Featured in STAR WARS: EPISODE VII Concept Art
Earlier today we got our first look at what the black and chrome Stormtroopers might look like in J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: Episode VII. Now we have a really cool piece of concept art from the movie thanks to Indie Revolver featuring a lightsaber duel with the Millennium Falcon in the background. It's an amazing visual that is going to look spectacular up on the big screen.
If you look closely at the photo below, you can see that the battle is taking place on snowy forest landscape. Seeing the Millennium Falcon hovering over the scene really ties the visual together, and it's enough to give me goosebumps. The website gives some speculation on the scene saying:
The tall, slender figure is instantly reminiscent of Vader, though it could easily represent the new hooded cyborg or Lupita Nyong’o’s rumored sith villain. Dare we hope that it’s Luke wielding the green saber? The person in the foreground taking aim at the confrontation would either be a good guy or a bounty hunter by every Star Wars metric – lots of texture in the costuming, rag tag gear strapped on everywhere, and operating alone (or with one friend, who appears to be busy) rather than as part of a larger force.
This might just be my favorite thing that I've seen from the film production so far because it shows us a completed version of art for a key scene in the movie.
