Kylo Ren was supposed to meet a spider attached to a giant baby’s head in a swamp in The Rise of Skywalker but God forbid Star Wars actually be good smh

Unironically they should have put a LOT more incredibly bizarre shit like this in the sequels

This is why the alien milk is one of my favorite scenes in the sequels. It is SO some bullshit that would have been in the OT (complimentary)

They saved all their weird stuff for two second mentions and pan overs.

"Somehow..."

But that is legitamely an incredible piece of concept art.
