Re-Use and Rejuvenation
This sort of prototyping is seen throughout The Epic Continues presentation’s physical models. Many ideas were pitched as a way to either re-use older figures and toys as repaints, or modify them in some way to keep Star Wars’ design language intact. Intriguing vehicles in the presentation include a Rebel Sandspeeder, with a Tatooine-appropriate color scheme and more weapons, and an Imperial ATIC—a modified AT-AT Walker with the back half of its body carved out to make way for a massive ion cannon battery, itself lifted from Kenner’s Death Star playset.
