The concept art on the right, drawn by Doug Telford, was made for LittleBigPlanet Star Wars, a pitch by Sumo Digital that served as a stepping stone in the development of LittleBigPlanet 3. Very little is known about the project; it was never publicly announced, but an anonymous source familiar with the project had mentioned its existence through a series of emails. It was an initial greenlight pitch to Sony for a licensed LittleBigPlanet game. It didn't pan out, but development of this project ended up merging into what became LittleBigPlanet 3.

“	Yeah and it was erm, at the time it was, the idea was to do something that had a license attached to, which is kind of Sumo's area of expertise. And so erm, came out of the blue, Pete rang me up and said; "How would you feel about pitching for this?" And erm, obviously I got super excited. It was the most exciting opportunity we've had, in uh 7 or 8 years at the time. So we did a pitch for this licensed version of LBP; That didn't actually come to anything, but you liked the treatment didn't you? And then Pete phoned up a few weeks later, and said "How about what if it wasn't a license? What about if it was LBP3?". At which point I basically crumbled with excitement, with fear, with dread, with awe, with everything. And we said "Yeah, good god please can we!?" And the ball started running from there!	„
