A sneak peek at the new book, The Art of The Rise of Skywalker, gives us a good idea of an unused character named “Star Man pilot” with the artwork lovingly paying tribute to the late, great David Bowie.
And while there’s no specific information as to why this Star Man Pilot was left out of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, it’s great to know the concept was even considered.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will be available on Disney+ in October 2020.
The character, a Resistance pilot known as Star Man Pilot, was clearly designed to resemble Bowie’s 70s era alter ego, Ziggy Stardust.
