I am kinda glad some the concepts were never used but some are interesting ideas. Wookie Stormtroopers would have made no sense. This movie deserves more love and appreciation for what it was trying to accomplish. Too many good movies came out at once this year at the same time. Solo had an uphill battle that's for sure.
Great video, guys. I have a question for the weekly Q/A, if you were stuck on a tropical desert island (maybe on Scarif) and you were only allowed to take exactly ONE Star Wars book (anything, Legends/Canon, ect) which would it be and why?
Why? We all know in nearly every version of Star Wars the empire enslaves wookies. Wouldn't they force them onto the front line as slave labor muscle? Kind of like the south did with black slaves?
This book is the source. It was a proposed idea not included in the movie. I wish he were canon, believe me, Tales of the Jedi were some of my first Star Wars comics growing up.
@@darthtroller the Empire was known to be extremely racist towards all aliens, which would mean they would never agree with the idea of alien Stormtroopers.
@@hippymad1 the heart of Imperial propaganda is conveying the idea that human Stormtroopers are superior than any alien. It's about the Imperial image, not value! The armor is basically plastic!!!
But what Imperial officer would really care? When they're not being corrupt sycophants they're being corrupt backstabbers. Do you really think no Imperial would blink over suicide units comprised of aliens? FYI, I'm not talking about alien units in an official and widespread setting but rather a general having his own wookie slave unit on drugs with neural implants for his own personal and expendable shock troops to throw into enemy fire.
In one piece of concept art of the sabacc game they used an image of comedian and podcaster Adam Buxton as one of the players. I suspect that, aside from the artists being a fan of his, it was to make up for his friend Joe Cornish appearing in a scene in The Last Jedi.
Shahir Hameed is right. Around 130 ABY in the Legends timeline, the reformed Empire had changed its ideals, now allowing for females and aliens to enlist within the Imperial ranks.
I could have sworn the "wookie Stormtroopers" were just freed wookie slaves that used what ever imperial weapons and equipment they could get their hands on, not actual wookies pressed into imperial service.
There are millions of wookies, each with their own thoughts and motives. Chewbacca was literally killing dudes for the empire's amusement as THE BEAST. Soooo maybe they would.
James Kwasneski I’m fairly certain most did! But theirs always an exception when your populations large enough. There was that karkassdan bounty hunter Wookiee. Did a few jobs for Vader, tortures uncle Ben just to draw kenobi out from the dessert, and just regularly like clobbering people to death.
the concepts for this movie were so much better than tlj, it looks more star wars than tlj in every way, it's kind of sad that it came out after tlj, i would have preferred seeing solo and boycotting tlj
Wookie stormtroopers!? Don’t they hate wearing anything besides a few belts and some tribal things? I swear Star Wars is going to Hell in a hand basket real fast if the writers come up with this crap.
They're wearing masks... to breathe. You know like Chewbacca does inside the slug monster? Or like Chewie wore when he went undercover in the old EU? Wookies are all different.
This just tells lucas film wants the fan to forget about an ideology, philosophy, learning univers and focus on fashion ..... Oh this allien wears red ooooohhhhh this allien looks like a wookie but is a shookie who look like wookies and are from shasyk hahahahahah SW-Explained.Please stop this whole product placement. Regards a Grand Admiral Thrawn apprentice
What about the Rebel attack on the Wookiee Stormtroopers?
Go I will. Good relations with concept art I have.
:)
-You can't defeat me!
-I know but they can!
-*WOOKIEE STORMTROOPERS JUMP OUT*
As far as the "Art Of" books go, this is tied as my favorite with TFA! So many wild ideas.
Some of it was cool and some was dumb. Great video
Some were both.
Gerardo Reyes a
That's concept art for you.
Fluffy chewie is the best concept art I have ever seen and wish they’ve had actually made a scene of it
So many BETTER CONCEPTS than the movie.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE SOLO but it has many concepts that would have been amazing😍
If those Stormtrooper Wookies don't end up in Aphra comic then I don't know what to do.
Wow, that idea sounds like a perfect fit for that comic now that you mention it.
I prefer the t h i c c stormtroopers
It's a great job on the lighting when there's awesome detail on the walls that no one can make out at all.
That's one of my favourite vids you've done -- please do "The Art of The Force Awakens", "The Art of Rogue One" and "The Art of The Last Jedi".
I'd have loved seeing Wookie Stormtroopers, they look cool
Wookiee Stormtroopers remind me of the Alien Stormtrooper of the Fel Empire.
I love your videos so much!

Wookiee Stormtroopers would have been epic
but I will admit, the masks look a little silly XD
Wookiee Stormtroopers? Wookiee Stormtroopers? Wookiee STORMTROOPERS? Ok I'm done. Think that's enough internet for one day😂
yeah, I would've walked out if they had pulled that sh*t in the movie.

@@DJKento True, but the idea is jsut ludicrous though.
"that alien is so easy to think of my 7 year old could do it..... oh wait" lol. Good info Alex, as always
I'd actually liked it if we saw Wookie Stormtroopers that were forced into service by The Empire.
The picture at 3:01 remind me of an alien from tv show Babylon 5
Minbari?
@@_skirdybirdy1788 Yes.
Do not know what you are talking about
@@danzelmoore6153 I thought that unused concept picture at 3:01 reminded me of Minbari from the 90s sci-fi show Babylon 5.

Awesome!!
Exar Kun is canon actually ... according the source book (if I remember correctly). Dryden had a relic of Exar Kun in his possession.
Unfortunately, I believe the author posted on his Twitter stating that his book was not canon.
This book is the source. It was a proposed idea not included in the movie. I wish he were canon, believe me, Tales of the Jedi were some of my first Star Wars comics growing up.
I am so glad they didn't include wokiee Stormtroopers! The idea of alien Stormtroopers contradicts the Empire's beliefs!!!
It reminds me of when SJWs rewrite history and make Nazi's look like they were politically correct
@@darthtroller the Empire was known to be extremely racist towards all aliens, which would mean they would never agree with the idea of alien Stormtroopers.
Does it really though? They'd hardly be valued soldiers, just expendable shock troops. Valued only in the same way that they were with forced labour.

The dropship for the Cloudriders would've been awesome to see.
Pretty cool video !
Wookie Stormtroopers sound terrifying
In one piece of concept art of the sabacc game they used an image of comedian and podcaster Adam Buxton as one of the players. I suspect that, aside from the artists being a fan of his, it was to make up for his friend Joe Cornish appearing in a scene in The Last Jedi.
I cringe at the thought of wookie stormtroopers.
Eric Mark Same
Believe it or not this actually happened in Legends with alien Stormtroopers
i honestly think it'd be kind of cool
Shahir Hameed is right. Around 130 ABY in the Legends timeline, the reformed Empire had changed its ideals, now allowing for females and aliens to enlist within the Imperial ranks.
Everything else than cringy.
Wookies are known for ripping your arms out your sockets.
I could have sworn the "wookie Stormtroopers" were just freed wookie slaves that used what ever imperial weapons and equipment they could get their hands on, not actual wookies pressed into imperial service.
Question for next Q/A
What are your thoughts regarding Star Wars Theory's Vader fan Web series?
I preferred every other way Han and Chewie met
I LOVE the art of The Force Awakens
Did you do a video about the Art of Rogue One?
I love this stuff
One thing I found interesting in Solo was that at least one wookie had a shaved or bald face.
Wish they’d kept Vos as a Lasat, and eventually made the crimes of he or his minions be the catalyst for the Empire wiping out Lasan.
A Wookiee would probably die before serving the Empire. Maybe I’m wrong but I’m basing this assumption from Cannon rather EU.
There are millions of wookies, each with their own thoughts and motives. Chewbacca was literally killing dudes for the empire's amusement as THE BEAST. Soooo maybe they would.
DJ Kento Possibly, but I’d hope that most would rather fight against the Empire as they did the Separatists.
James Kwasneski I’m fairly certain most did! But theirs always an exception when your populations large enough. There was that karkassdan bounty hunter Wookiee. Did a few jobs for Vader, tortures uncle Ben just to draw kenobi out from the dessert, and just regularly like clobbering people to death.
Wasn't Exar Kun mentioned in the Tarkin novel?
Would love to see Exar Kun on thebig screen!
I didn't know I wanted feral Ewoks until now...
I wish the movie was made like this
I would have liked something like this actually. They probably wanted to protect the Wookiees’ reputation tho
Is it me or the poem at 2:22 resemble the speech that Jyn Erso made before the battle of Scariff ¿?
Liked, 👍
Subscribed, (long ago,)
Followed on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook,
And Patreon page checked out.
Great video
I seen how much crap you get from people but I love you videos keep it up 👍
Storm wookies
I wonder if wookiee Stormtroopers are better at shooting than human Stormtroopers lol
Dang now that i look at it that at-dt’s gun looks a lot like and german 8.8 flak gun
the concepts for this movie were so much better than tlj, it looks more star wars than tlj in every way, it's kind of sad that it came out after tlj, i would have preferred seeing solo and boycotting tlj
That one Droid looked like Claptrap from the Borderland series.
They’ll be ripping rebels arms off
Mimban is a lesser battle?!?!
Stormtrooper wookies????!!! Holly tactics batman that will be cool
Unless this is the Fel empire it wouldn't make sense.
I honestly dislike the Wookie Stormtrooper idea.
I don’t care what they said, Exar Kun is still canon to me.
Nice Video :)
Yeah wookie stormtroopers...kinda dumb
wookies forced into service with the army, not dumb at all
Ehhh... i would not like wookie stormtroopers....
I did not think a wookie to be a stormtrooper
Tqtq for liking this comment
Hi
Hello.
#MakeExarKunCanon 🤞🤞🤘🤘👍👍
exar koon isint cannon?....damn it...:t
Wookie stormtroopers!? Don’t they hate wearing anything besides a few belts and some tribal things? I swear Star Wars is going to Hell in a hand basket real fast if the writers come up with this crap.
It's unused concepts. Calm yo self.
Legends also had pretty shitty ideas. Not only canon lol How Star Wars isnt in hell for you?
There is a reason it is unused.
They're wearing masks... to breathe. You know like Chewbacca does inside the slug monster? Or like Chewie wore when he went undercover in the old EU? Wookies are all different.
This just tells lucas film wants the fan to forget about an ideology, philosophy, learning univers and focus on fashion .....
