Lord Valorum - Star Wars Redesign

Description

In 1977, George Lucas Created a story called “The Star Wars” which was drastically different from our Star Wars.
Luke was an aged General, The hero was a young Jedi Bindu named Annikin Starkiller, Han Solo was akin to Jack Sparrow and Chewbacca was a ravenous baboon creature.
The Emperor still existed in the original story but the primary Villain was a Sith Lord name Espaa Valorum. He was Lord Vader’s Master and Commander, a vicious and manipulative ruler. He weaves deeply strategic plans that involve many layers and pawns. When designing him I wanted to hold on the robes and the powerful Dark Side Symbols; but I also wanted a new asthetic. I played around with the idea of a trench coat but I felt that this Sith Master would be more militant than his couterparts. Getting some inspiration from the Red Skull and original star wars designs ( you can see the heavy references to German militant uniforms in "New Hope" ) I settled on this jacket and hood to keep to original Jedi and Sith traditions.
The Original Star Wars – “The Star Wars” was more a of a Spy thriller than Sci Fi Saga.
Lucas’ original description as pulled from the Journal of Whills is as follows:
ESPAA VALORUM “Master of the Sith”. His Eminence Prince Espaa Valorum, the Master of the Bogan, killed most (but not all) of the Starkiller’s sons.
