In 1977's Star Wars, Grand Moff Tarkin, commander of the Death Star, is played by actor Peter Cushing. Oddly enough, the actor bears a striking resemblance to the Ambassador in the 1975 Valérian volume Ambassador of the Shadows.

The Moss Eisley Cantina is one of the Star Wars universe's key locations, as well as one of its most popular. While its overall layout was most likely based on real-life cantinas, there's no denying the fact that an alien bar with a certain semblance of sameness appears on the pages of Valérian. At the very least, the Valérianart seems to have been...
The image on the left, of course, comes from Valérian; the image on the right is Cloud City, a floating city located on the gas planet Bespin in The Empire Strikes Back. The visual similarities here seem almost to great to ignore. Sure, the idea of a floating city has been proposed by numerous sci-fi titans throughout the years, perhaps even as far...
There's a little controversy around this one. A Clone Army storyline appears in the 1977 Valérian volume On the False Earths. This might not mean anything; after all, 1977's Star Wars mentions the "clone wars", meaning that at the very least the introduction of Clones into the Star Wars mythos was an idea not directly taken from the pages of Valéri...
Known for its sleek, "cool" appearance, the Millennium Falcon has long been recognized as one of the greatest spaceships in sci-fi history. However, as pointed out by Kitbashed, it might owe something to the XB982, a ship with similar size, shape, and structural details that was used by Valérian in 1971's The Empire of a Thousand Planets.

This may be the first claim of a Valérian-Star Wars connection where there's actually some real-world evidence - however insignificant - to back up the claim with. The creature on the left is known as a Shingouz; they first appear in Valerian's 1975 publication Ambassador of the Shadows. The creature on the right is Watto, a Toydarian merchant who ...
As Popular Mechanics was quick to recognize, 1971's Empire of a Thousand Planets features a desert planet known as Syrte, home to alien travelers, scores of marketplaces, and, interestingly, two suns. If you're even the least bit interested in Star Wars lore, you should recognize this as a near-carbon-copy of Tatooine - except, as we've stated time...
The creature shown on the left appears in 1971's Empire of a Thousand Planets as a member of a cult-like group known as the Enlightened. Unmasked, his face is scarred and burned with few features, similarly to Darth Vader's in 1983's Return of the Jedi. And while the characters are clearly very different, even their helmets are somewhat similar in ...
In 1980's The Empire Strikes Back, Leia Organa is enslaved by a morbidly obese ruler (Jabba the Hutt), and forced to wear a revealing slave-girl outfit. Believe it or not, almost the exact same thing happens to Laureline in the 1972 Valérian volume World Without Stars; although, in this case, the overweight monarch is Emperor Alzafar, who rules the...
In the 1971 Valérian and Laureline compliation Empire of a Thousand Planets, Valérian is frozen is a substance that bears an uncanny resemblance to Carbonite, the substance Han Solo was frozen in nearly a decade later in 1980's The Empire Strikes Back. As pointed out, again, by The Film Theorists, Valérian's memory loss while frozen matches up a kn...

3 days ago · The Star Wars sequel trilogy resurrected Emperor Palpatine as a last-minute villain, but many other characters from across the saga could have served as a better antagonist.
