  • <p>The climax takes place on this planet, inspired by classic Hollywood Westerns. Explains production designer Neil Lamont: “James [Clyne] and I don’t want the saloon’s exterior to end up looking like the Ewok village or even some of Ralph McQuarrie’s work for Kashyyyk, the home of the Wookiees. We had to be very careful of that. When we get to the exterior, we’re adding a lot more metal into it, as though these are the things holding the buildings into the mountain.”<br> (Image courtesy of Abrams Books/Lucasfilm Ltd.) </p>

Solo: A Star Wars Story occupies a curious space in that galaxy far, far away. Set in “the lawless time” between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope on locations never visited before onscreen, the film allowed the production team to explore untrodden territory and create brand-new vehicles, characters, and planets while still playing within the palette envisioned by George Lucas and original concept artist Ralph McQuarrie. The genesis of the spinoff film is explored in the newly released The Art of Solo: A Star Wars Story, by Phil Szostak, which collects hundreds of pieces of concept art, sketches, and early computer renderings tracing the evolution of the film. Click through for Yahoo Entertainment’s exclusive sneak peek.
