Cool Concept Art For The Force Awakens And The Last Jedi

Cool Concept Art For The Force Awakens And The Last Jedi
Check out this concept art for The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. Most of these images involve the death of Han Solo in The Force Awakens and Benicio del Toro’s character, DJ from The Last Jedi. It’s interesting to see the changes that the death of Han went through, but it seems that he was always going to fall. DJ could have looked a lot different than he did in the movie. It’s always fascinating to see where the art was leading compared to where things ended up. I think I like Kylo’s mask in gold better than silver.

A Map That Shows Every Quantum Leap, Except For The Leap Home

Theorizing that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Doctor Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator – and vanished. … And so Doctor Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong and hoping each time that his next leap… will be the leap home.

Dr. Beckett never leaped home, but if you want to follow every leap that he ever made on the TV show, check out this cool interactive map created by Josh Jones. It has every episode title and description so you can match the leap with the location. It is a total of 93 leaps across five seasons. Maybe someone can use this to track his last leap and find him.
