I went on a marathon of all the Star Wars films very recently and I just realized something: why do all the alien races look so fucking stupid?
It's literally the reason I never got into the series as a kid.

The Empire was right about xenos...

You can make an alien race look "alien" and still have them be at least a little dignified looking. ALSO, putting facepaint on humans doesn't make anyone look "alien" at all, just fucking retarded looking.

Greedo on the preview of OP-pic looks like he's vomiting spaghetti

SW is not science fiction, it's a piece of space fantasy. It's just aliens instead of elves and goblins. And don't tell me those don't look retarded.

I actually think the whole humanoid elf/goblin look in high fantasy media looks really retarded too. I never got into shit like World of Warcraft for example just because of how dumb the character designs looked.
Yes star trek aliens with a slightly different forehead prosthetic every week are so much better.
You just need to face the facts that aliens are hard to depict convincingly and even if they did exist irl they'd still be basically humanoid.

Half of them are by Muppet designers.
Also nice double dubs.
>>79868877
because theyre based on real aliens, as a way to condition the human race for first contact.

But that's what I'm saying anon. It's like there are two primary types of Star Wars alien designs: humanoid ones like what you're describing, or ones that look completely weird and non-human at all. Both I think are equally retarded looking.
