I love going through books of old Star Wars concept art, pointing at random pages of unused designs, and saying “They used that in Clone Wars, that one was Rebels, that was in The Mandalorian…”
same goes with James Bond actually. there are tons of stuff that gets repurposed for the movies. For example, the core plot of Tomorrow Never Dies is technically began as Dalton Third Movie and elements of rogue Double 0 ended up in GoldenEye’s Trevelyan, The World is not Enough (the incapable of feeling pain part) and all the way to Skyfall’s Silva. And that’s without mentioning all the repurposing of the literary sources.
Rebels is basically porn if you dig into Star Wars development over the years.
