These early screens and concept art trickled out of Lucasarts/Bioware’s steely grasp after their Big Announcement and Kotaku Jedi AJ Glasser uploaded them instantly using a combination of the Force Upload and a fast wifi link.
This concept gallery shows early Jedi/Sith character designs, a nice view of Coruscant that wouldn’t look out of place in Episode 3 and two very similar monsters.
Check out the link to see how the artists’ designs have been translated into polygonal reality.
First impressions – those lightsabers look a bit chunky. Maybe people were shorter back in the Old Republic.

“art direction is one of the first things decided and is unlikely to undergo any significant changes during the development lifecycle.” :)
