The Predator Slaughters Stormtroopers in Brutal Star Wars Crossover Art
A new piece of fan art shows the Predator hunting down Star Wars stormtroopers in the jungle. Yautja, better known as Predators, are an extraterrestrial species introduced in the 1987 film Predator starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carl Weathers. Stormtroopers predate the creatures by a decade and have become one of the most recognizable groups in the Star Wars universe. Stormtroopers have been included in most Star Wars movies and TV shows as cannon fodder and are usually the butt of jokes because of their poor shots.
The Predator franchise hasn't been as successful as Star Wars, yet Hollywood continues to pump out films to continue the series anyway. The first sequel, Predator 2, was released in 1990 but didn't do nearly as well, partly because Schwarzenegger declined to return. Predators starring Adrien Brody, Laurence Fishburne, and Alice Braga, came out in 2010, followed by The Predator in 2018. Expectations for The Predator were higher than previous installments since Shane Black, who played Hawkins in the original, was the director, yet even his movie failed to live up to the 80s classic. Still, Predator has remained a recognizable character in pop culture, having crossovers with Batman in the pages of Dark Horse Comics and Alien's Xenomorphs in Alien vs. Predator and Alien vs. Predator: Requiem.
