Rare Lego Star Wars renders

go back

I was digging through a pile of old crap the other day and came across an issue of the "ROBOT" gaming magazine. I can infer that this specific issue is #28, from 2016.
This mainly interested me because of the Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens article, featuring character renders i've never seen anywhere else:

I've searched and have not found anywhere else that has these.
I assume they were extremerly early images, given out to the press before the final models were concevied
Although if that were the case, why have I only seen ROBOT use it? Perhaps they were exclusively for magazines.
