| Jun 21, 2020 at 16:36 | comment | added | Anthony X | Could well be an interpretation of Jabba the Hut, given that by 1990, many Russians have probably already seen all three of the original movies, with Jabba being the "most recent" prominent villian (Return of the Jedi), and the first clearly alien character having a significant on-screen moment (in the New Hope re-release). Even if the artist hadn't seen the movies themselves, by 1990, Star Wars characters would have long since found their way into international pop culture, with Jabba being both iconic of the franchise and decidedly alien. | |

| Feb 13, 2017 at 19:27 | comment | added | Brevan Ellefsen | Definitely looks like Darkseid. No doubts in my mind. | |

| Feb 13, 2017 at 13:59 | comment | added | Peter | @Valorum I'd be surprised if there was only 1 concept for a film of this size. Not a million miles away if it was the result of a Russian artist interpreting the idea based on incomplete knowledge | |

| Feb 13, 2017 at 13:34 | comment | added | Valorum | @Peter - Unlikely. This is the original concept for Vader unmasked and it was drawn years after A New Hope. | |
| Feb 13, 2017 at 13:32 | comment | added | Peter | Early concept for Vader? | |
| Feb 13, 2017 at 13:31 | comment | added | Steven Wood | Looks a bit like Jabba to me | |
