hey guys how are you all doing today so I finally got the rise of Skywalker art
book the art of the rise Skywalker and let me tell you it's a really amazing
book there's tons of different concept ideas things from the novel that wasn't
in the film have been actually fleshed out with art and they even went as far
as actually making some of the props which I'll get to in another video and
you'll see at the end of this one I'm gonna highlight that as well
corresponding to the Mustafar scene which would have been absolutely unreal
there's concept art galore regarding it today's video is gonna go over something
that I really wish we got in the film this was a side quest which would have
had kylo Ren going to Coruscant and going back to the Jedi Temple this is
literally the only page in the book that we have on it and it is phenomenal so
before I read the captions that we get in the book about this scene that we
wanted that would have been so cool to see basically kylo Ren goes to Coruscant
to find something he goes to the Jedi Temple to find something now course hunt
was the most bustling city in Star Wars at least in my opinion it was riddled
with just skyscrapers and shops and life now according to online course and had a
population of over one-trillion that's 1,000 billion now just imagine that you
know we got just about seven billion here on earth and when kylo goes back to
the planet in the rise of Skywalker or like how he was supposed to in these
concept arts the planet is dead it's just full of dust and it's now overrun
by giant wolves let's read what they had to say instead of finding his way to X
goal in the early November 2017 version of the rise of Skywalker story kylo Ren
instead takes his shuttle to a desolate ash covered coarsened the once bustling
city streets now overrun by giant wolves inside the abandoned Jedi Temple
kylo takes a central elevator down to the temples deepest level
now I'm sure JJ had his reasons why he didn't put this in the film and I'm sure
the story group had their reasons but I really think this would have been such a
cool scene to see something that would have really helped tie episode 9 into
the prequels would have been to see the Jedi Temple and to see what had
come of it because the last time we saw it in the films was when Anakin rated it
with the five-oh first during order 66 and when obi-wan and Yoda walked through
it to see all the dead younglings and the Jedi that had been slain I think
taking kylo back here instead of EXA goal would have been something that
maybe made a little bit more sense I mean I understand that perhaps you know
Palpatine needed to have this secret world that the Jedi didn't really know
all that much about I mean Luke was trying to find it but he needed to have
this world that was far away where he could just have this clone factory being
developed where there were clones of snow can clones of him and so on and so
forth now if he had this in the Jedi Temple then it would have been just a
bit too easy for the Jedi to realize hey you know Palpatine's doing something
here after all he did take over the Jedi Temple as his own headquarters after
order 66 so this leads me to think that maybe the original draft of the rise of
Skywalker in 2017 and in this version here that we see with the concept art
maybe didn't have Palpatine and maybe it didn't have him cloning things and
cloning himself as it says kylo was going to the deepest level of the temple
what was in the deepest level well apparently below the actual temple was a
Sith temple and this is one of the theories as to how Palpatine disguised
himself the entire time right under the Jedi's noses it's because this Sith
temple emanated such a dark energy that it clouded a Jedi's judgment the dark
side clouds everything now why is Kyle are going to the deepest
part while it could be for that Seth temple or it could be for him to enter
the restricted section which housed a lot of Sith holocrons and Sith artifacts
and scrolls and things like that that the Jedi kept this to me would make a
lot more sense you know this is a place where Anakin really wanted to go and if
you didn't know this is one of the main reasons he wanted to become a master
because only masters had access to the restricted section and if he got access
to it then maybe he might find out you know an old Sith legend with Darth
Plagueis in it and how to cheat death and he wouldn't have to turn to the dark
side to do it but of course that was taken from him too so in the end he
really had no choice he said okay I got to turn to the dark side and if I don't
swamp had my dies now in the restricted section let's say if kylo goes in there
what could he be searching for maybe they could have twisted it and you know
still kept it in the film where he would have
to find the wayfinder perhaps on coarsened in the Jedi Temple but then of
course that would maybe leave out Mustafar and he wouldn't go there but
they could of course make another sort of timeline or reason for him to go
there as well maybe another part of it had to do with Vader's castle I really
feel like this was a missed opportunity I really wish they would have put this
in the film because the Jedi Temple was such an integral part of the Jedi it's
where they learned to become Jedi it's where they came to fulfill their destiny
and be keepers of the Peace not soldiers so I'm sure of course JJ had his reasons
but this is page 224 of the art of Star Wars the rise of Skywalker I hope you
enjoyed this little breakdown tomorrow we will be going over actually in the
next couple days we will be going over this video right here which is from the
novelization which the art of the rise of Skywalker goes hand-in-hand with
because it has tons and tons of concept art of what this scene was supposed to
look like between kylo and the Oracle on Mustafar bye Vader's castle and this
Oracle was protecting something that Vader had kept there away from everyone
else and of course kylo was able to get it
this being the wayfinder they actually went as far to create the creature
themselves but it wasn't in the film or maybe was shot and I mean he might see
it some day in the future knows stay tuned for that video leave a like on
this if you enjoyed it and I'll see you in the next one until then remember the
force will be with you always
fulfill your destiny
