An alternate vision of the film can be seen in The Art of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story by Josh Kushins. A collection of sketches, renderings, and other concept art, documenting the creation of the film from initial ideas to final production. Along the way characters and settings came and went, while some, like K-2SO and Saw Gerrera, were dramatically transformed.
K-2SO
Kushins: “K-2SO was a great example of a design that evolved from an original conception, more along the lines of the droid seen on the original Death Star in A New Hope.
Vader’s Chamber
Kushins: “Even though Mustafar had been seen in Revenge of the Sith, Ralph McQuarrie’s original concept of the lava planet as Vader’s private lair isn’t something that had ever really been explored on screen. The concepts for Rogue One built on McQuarrie’s designs, expanding and adapting them for Vader’s place in this story.”
Saw Gerrera’s Throne Close-Up
This image conceives the fearsome freedom fighter perched atop a throne of Stormtrooper helmets.
While the helmet-throne didn’t make the film and the character (played by Forest Whitaker) was toned down, the screen incarnation did retain the mechanical legs.
