I forgot about him. He looks pretty menacing, I guess, but he looks very human. What about the more alien designs? I’m thinking like something along the lines of a Tuskan Raider or Wampa or Gamorrean Gaurd.

The Kel Dor look pretty menacing, and the design is very similar to Zuckuss from ESB. I also think that Benthic & Edrio and Moroff from RO fit pretty well in with the OT aesthetic.

I also really like the look of the Neimodians, and the Crimson Corsair, as mentioned above, is a pretty striking design.

Kel Dor reminds me a lot of an alien from season 4 of Star Trek: Voyager. It looks like it could’ve been a villain design at some point. I read that at least some of the background Jedi in the prequels used designs from Sith Lord sketches that Lucas didn’t ultimately approve, so I wonder if that’s where that one came from.

It wouldn’t surprise me at all if Ploo Koon was based on rejected Darth Maul concept art similarly to Asaj Ventress. Or it could just be that they wanted a design that worked in the SW universe and that they used Zuckuss as inspiration. It’s kind of funny to me how so many SW aliens since has used similar breathing devices.

BTW, what specific alien from Star Trek did Ploo Koon remind you of? I haven’t seen a lot of Voyager and now I’m really curious.
