New Star Wars: The Force Awakens Concept Art Released

This week marked the release of The Art of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, a hardcover book examining how the film's look evolved from concept to execution in the years that it was in development and production.

Here's how Abrams Books lists the title:

Set to release in conjunction with The Force Awakens in December 2015, the book features exclusive interviews with the entire creative team, imparting insights into director J. J. Abrams's vision, which includes unused "blue sky" concept art, and offering glimpses into roads not traveled. Bursting with hundreds of stunning works of art, including production paintings, concept sketches, storyboards, blueprints, and matte paintings, this visual feast will delight Star Wars fans and cineastes for decades to come.

Thanks to Buzzfeed, we've got a look at a handful of the images that make up the book, including early concept art of Rey, BB-8 and Han Solo.
