The renowned mobster Bugsy Siegel decided to grab a piece of the action in 1946, when he opened the Flamingo – one of the first resorts to take inspiration from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood – which still stands today. After years of mobsters ruling the streets of Vegas, the first “mega-resort” was introduced to the strip in 1989. Jack Black creates superior, advanced skin care for men including shaving creams, moisturizers, grooming sets, cleansers, anti-aging, hair care, body care and sun care products specially formulated for a man's needs. Nothing complicated, nothing cosmetic, just. In One Piece upon seeing Franky subjected to severe testicular torture at the 'hands' of Nico Robin (which the anime chose to show five times) to convince him to join the crew, Chopper immediately breaks out in screams of painful protest while Luffy starts yelling at Robin to stop (Zoro and Sanji are not present).
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker introduced us to plenty of new places in the galaxy far, far away, one of which was the desert planet of Pasaana. Now, newly revealed concept art shows how that planet could have looked completely different.
The events of Episode 9 take Rey and her friends on a journey to find a Sith Wayfinder, so Rey can track down the Emperor on the Dark side planet of Exegol. Their adventure leads them to Pasaana, a place with rocky outcrops and sand as far as the eye can see.
As reported by Screen Rant, concept artist Phil Saunders shared an idea of what Pasaana looked like early in development. On Instagram, he captioned the piece with: 'Another concept for the wetland pirate planet that became [Pasaana] in [The Rise of Skywalker]. The speeder chase would have started at the village to the left and weaved through the keels of these rebel cargo ship-inspired freighters before veering into the mangrove forest to the right.'

In a comment, he explained that: 'JJ wanted to shoot an actual location and shooting in the Everglades was deemed too challenging. So back to the desert we go!'

He also elaborated some more on the planned sequence on ArtStation: 'This was a concept for a shipping lane crossing the wetland planet that ultimately became the desert planet of Pasaana... The underwater waterfall in the trench was inspired by a natural feature off the coast of the island of Mauritius. The freighters are an homage to the cargo ships on Hoth in [Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back].'

It's interesting that even on an aquatic planet, a speeder chase was still planned – though this certainly would have been very different from the finished product, which saw Rey crash land into the intergalactic equivalent of quicksand and sink into an underground cave.
In fact, Saunders gave us another glimpse at the planet back in September, and clued us into some more interesting details that never came to pass. 'This Everglades-inspired wetland world would have combined the festival planet [Rey] went to with the home of [Poe Dameron‘s] secret pirate past, and was meant to host a [speeder] chase through the bogs, reeds and shallow islands,' the artist revealed.

'In the absence of an established mythology at this point, I imagined the indigenous population harvesting the tall reeds for the fibres used to produce [First Order] uniforms. Lashed bundles of living reeds would have anchored their tension structure-based [architecture].' He added on ArtStation that the speeder chase would have involved 'crashing through the indigenous huts that spot the swampy terrain.'

The Star Wars environment most similar to this concept art is probably the underwater land beneath Naboo’s surface in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, home to the Gungans, including Jar Jar Binks. Of course, Pasaana wasn’t the first desert planet we were introduced to – Tatooine and Jakku are both equally sandy. Luckily, Pasaana stands out from the rest thanks to the charming Aki-Aki species and the lively Festival of the Ancestors.
