Behind the scenesEdit

In the earliest incarnation of the story of the 1983 film Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi, the Emperor's Tower didn't house the Emperor's Throne Room, but rather the Imperial capital planet Had Abbadon did.^[7]

In one of the early ideas for the 2015 film Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, pitched by Rick Carter, diving into the Death Star II's remains underwater in a junk planet, Rey was to find a hidden map inside the Emperor's Tower that indicating the location of the remaining Jedi and where Luke Skywalker was hiding.^[8]
