DISNEY LET THE CONCEPT ART DIE

KILL IT, IF YOU HAVE TO.

We got the T-70 out of it, I'll allow it

I... actually kind of like it. Star Wars ships other than the Falcon never really seemed to have big enough sensors to do stuff. Like, the Empire has to use probe droids to see stuff on planets, whereas in Star Trek they would have just used that huge sensor dish on the Enterprise to scan the planet of Hoth. I think it makes sense for the Empire to have some ships that have large sensor emplacements dedicated for electronic warfare and recon. The dish locations seem a little bit... impractical, but it is outer space so stuff can be shaped however you want (like how real-life Earth space stations are shaped kinda funny), so I don't think it's a huge problem. I guess these things just need at least one Star Destroyer and a relatively large contingent of TIEs with them at all times, because they look rather vulnerable to attacks.

Sure, but they didn't have to make it look so stupid.

WEG created most of the early EU from concept art. Usually it was positive but sometimes the scale would be off. Anyway, concept art should be mined since SW has always worked like that way, with Lucas penning far more material than he could have put into a movie and thus using concepts like Cloud City and a huge ground battle with Wookiees (to name just two) in later sequels/prequels. It’s tradition.
