The bronze bikini is all inspired by Edgar Rice Burroughs. The Scary Helmet, Fucked-Up Face, and Winged Tapir aren't all that original in their own rights.
I definitely see inspiration for the Millennium Falcon and Carbonite freezing, though.
“BD” refers to Franco-Belgian comics, but let's open things up to include ALL Euro comics, especially GN's. Euro-style work from around the world is also welcome!
* BD = "Bandes dessinées"
* BDT = Bedetheque
* GN = graphic novel
* LBK = Lambiek
* LC = "Ligne claire"

If I remember correctly, in Light & Magic they talk about how they came up with the design of the M.Falcon (and George Lucas wasn't much involved). In fact, let me check... Ah ha:
Johnston was also tasked with redesigning the Falcon when the original design was deemed too similar to another ship on television. Under pressure and mentally blocked, Johnston was sitting in the kitchen when he spotted plates on the counter. He imagined sandwiching two together like hamburger buns to create a saucer-like ship. The Millennium Falcon started to take shape.
The carbonite thing feels like more of a straightforward copy, though.
I feel like there were saucer shaped space ships in other things previously.
If it were an asymmetric design with the cockpit off to the side, then sure there's a real connection. But a spaceship being vaguely saucer shaped? Nah it's just a common design for a spaceship.

Ooh, that's right!
Hail to the princess Dejah Thoris, pleasantly bronzed by yon inspirational Martian sun. ^^

G-e-n-t-l-e-m-e-n... (voice of Charles Winchester from M*A*S*H)... please.
Tbh, I've rearead the comics way more often than I rewatched the films..
I recently got the French omnibus edition and I completely forgot that magic was a thing in those comics. Maybe because the ones I read as a child's were the ones about the disappearing earth and the holy trinity and not the first books or the finale with the Wolochs.

Good stuff to know.
Hopefully, in terms of SW, The Hero's Journey and Kurosawa were mentioned at some point?
it talks about how some of the xwing vs tie fighter scenes were copied shot for shot from old wwii dogfighting scenes, also campbell's hero with a thousand faces, among other things--definitely worth watching
Excellent, thank you.
In regard to the Shinguz, Episode IV had a species called Kubaz with a similar snout.
