More ‘Revenge of the Sith’ art

This isn’t the first time that “Revenge of the Sith” concept art has gone viral, showing a portrait of a different film than what we got. For example, concept art appeared in Paul Duncan’s “Star Wars Archives Episode 1-3 The Prequels” book showed Skywalker in a sleeveless Jedi tunic. He had tattoos, too.

• The original script for the film almost revealed Anakin Skywalker’s true father, too. In the original script, Darth Sidious would have revealed himself to be Anakin Skywalker’s father, as I wrote about for the Deseret News.
