Duel of the Fates Concept Art – The Blockade Runner Podcast #140

BR 140 CoverThis episode features a look at over 25 leaked concept art images from Colin Trevorrow’s Duel of the Fates script including sequences, planets, vehicles, and characters not seen in The Rise of Skywalker. I hadn’t actually read the leaked script at the time this episode was recorded, so it’s mostly a reaction to the images themselves and a brief synopsis of the story I’d come across. The art itself is embedded in the podcast chapters or in the video version available on YouTube; if you’re driving or doing the dishes or something while listening, you can check them out on Imgur here.

BR 136 CoverRyan returns in this second post-TROS episode to weigh in on diverse characters and representation in the sequel trilogy.
