    Who's to say jabba doesn't want to look pretty now and then? Maybe he thinks of himself as a princess.

    You know hutts are hermaphrodites, right?

    So it's definitely a wink to Star Wars, it's simply too similar in appearance to Jabba the Hutt to not be that.
    I don't think so, I think they just set out to make a larger more elaborate flan and that's how it turned out. Sometimes things just turn out similar without any actual intention of that. This happens because some things are just obvious and someone else may arrive at the same (or similar) idea independently. (it even happens in nature, check out mice and marsupial mice, totally different unrelated animals that look nearly identical)

    Take a look at the original Flan model, now imagine that you want to make a special, "boss" flan with a more elaborate design. One of the more obvious ways would be to keep the face/upper head the same but expand the body.

    Nope, are they? I never really got into starwars lore. I just watched the movies and that's about it.

    Nope. Didn't think about Jabba for even a second. That might be because because I've played enough FF to immediately recognize it as the Flan Princess, notoriously from FFIV (but it's appeared in remakes of other games, too).

    FF's are games that constantly reference mythology... Norse, Indian, Chinese, Christian

    I guess star wars is american mythology

    The Shiva in FF11 is possibly based on a slavic deity rather than indian. At least the slavic deity is actually female.

    Star Wars did make it into the Library of Congress. Something to be said there.
