A sea of stars is broken by the vast blue surface of the planet,
UTAPAU. Five small moons slowly drift into view from the far
side of the planet. The main titles are followed by a roll-up:
Until the recent GREAT REBELLION, the JEDI
BENDU were the most feared warriors in the
universe. For one hundred thousand years,
generations of JEDI perfected their art as
the personal bodyguards of the emperor.
They were the chief architects of the invin-
cible IMPERIAL SPACE FORCE wich expanded
the EMPIRE across the galaxy, from the
celestial equator to the farthest reaches
of the GREAT RIFT.
Now these legendary warriors are all but
extinet. One by one they have been hunted
down and destroyed as enemies of the NEW
EMPIRE by a derocious and sinister rival
warrior sect, THE KNIGHTS OF SITH.
A small silver spacecraft emerges from behind one of the Utapau
moons. The deadly little fightercraft speeds past several of the
moons, untul it finally goes into orbit around the FOURTH MOON.
2. WASTELAND - FOURTH MOON - UTAPAU
A harsch gale blows across the bleak grey surface of the Fourth
Moon. The leaden sky presses down on a lone figure, ANNIKIN
STARKILLER, a tall, heavy-set boy of eighteen. He slowly makes
his way across the canyon floor. The heavy winds whip at him
and make the going extremely difficult. His face is covered by
a breath mask and googles. Hes tops for a second to adjust the
shoulder strap on his chromo multiplelazer rifle.

Basically, Lucas always uses his old ideas. The appearence of Maul in Episode I was what The Emperor was meant to look like in Episode 9. But of course 9 never got made so it was 6, but he changed the appearence to a withered old man with great power. And Vader was meant to be a General in uniform, not a menacing black masked dude standing at 2.2 metres.

Indeed- Utapau was in the original draft of TPM as well, later substituted by Naboo. Basically it is GL's placeholder planet name until he comes up with a replacement- but in the final Episode, it is finally being actually used.
