So you really think this thing wouldn't stick out in the Cantina?
Sure, there are some low budget masks in there, but I have little problem throwing a little imagination in and believing those creatures really live in that world. They don't look purposefully goofy.

These gentlemen would like to have a say in the matter:

Again, there's no comparison with those guys and the fuzzy minion vader.
I gots no problem believing in those creatures and they weren't designed for laughs.
As for the big mantis, you only see a piece of it and for less than 2 seconds.
The picture of it that was posted is not in the film. Even George hated that thing, but had to make do with what he had. I don't mind such things in a low budget film.
And, again, I can believe in that thing more so than the fuzzyminionvader.
I'm sure we won't see much of him, if at all, in the finished film. But the fact that the design was OKed and that he was picked for the comicon reel is a bit.... Meh. Who cares.
