Star Wars Body Horror Art Will Make You Want A Scary Spinoff Movie
New Star Wars art uses AI to create visually terrifying versions of iconic characters. George Lucas' first film in the series came out in 1977, and 45 years later, Star Wars has become one of the most well-known and lucrative franchises of all time. After Revenge of the Sith was released in 2005, the saga was thought to be over, but of course that wasn't the case. Disney has made several movies and TV shows after acquiring Lucasfilm in 2012 to varying results, and it doesn't look like they plan to slow down anytime soon.
Fans have argued over the years whether Star Wars is considered Sci-Fi, fantasy, or both, yet the movies have never really strayed far from this description. That being said, there have certainly been terrifying characters introduced to Star Wars live-action canon. While Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader were certainly scary based on their sheer power, Darth Maul is arguably considered one of the scariest Star Wars characters of all time given his ruthless fighting skills and overall appearance. However, Star Wars artists have had much more freedom in making creepy creature designs for the ever-growing universe. Creatures like the Rancor from Return of the Jedi and the Krykna or Krayt dragon featured in The Mandalorian are a few prime examples of horrifying creatures, yet the franchise itself has never really dived into the horror genre.
