Since Disney acquired Star Wars in 2014, Marvel and Star Wars content has existed under the same corporation, with both properties frequently producing series to debut on Disney+. Both franchises are pop culture juggernauts, boasting memorable characters, compelling narratives and imaginative settings. However, Star Wars arguably has the edge when it comes to character design and overall aesthetics. Whilst the Marvel Cinematic Universe has branched out into many different settings and design styles, Star Wars largely remains anchored in the art style of the original trilogy, with new character designs, such as The Bad Batch’s TK troopers, still being based on Ralph McQuarrie’s concept art from the 1970s. This keeps the Star Wars universe visually consistent, making it feel like a grounded, distinctively ‘lived-in’ galaxy. However, this consistent approach hasn’t prevented some Marvel designs from influencing Star Wars character appearances – most notably in the case of two clone commanders from the 2008 Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series.Star Wars: The Clone Wars gave Star Wars audiences an entirely new perspective on clone troopers. The nameless and largely silent troopers of the prequels were given distinct personalities, with each clone differing somewhat from his brothers. These personalities extended to the clones’ armor designs. Many commanders chose to customize their armor, resulting in artistic choices from Captain Rex’s Mandalorian ‘Jaig Eyes’ to the curved, horn-like patterns on Commander Keeli’s helmet. Even lower-ranked troopers like Fives, Denal and Crys would customize their armor, leading to a wide variety of Phase I clone armor color schemes. As the Clone Wars series went on and the clones switched to Phase II armor, these designs became more elaborate and refined, leading to brilliant armor sets like Jesse’s arc trooper armor. Two of these later designs took direct inspiration from Marvel Comics characters, illustrating the significant influence that Marvel content has on Star Wars creators.Like Thor himself, Commander Thorn proved himself to be a hero. When defending the planet Scipio from the Separatists, he fought in a heroic last stand against the droid army before being overwhelmed by their numbers. During the battle, he even used his rotary cannon as a melee weapon, echoing how Thor wields Mjolnir in battle. Despite his brief appearance and death, Thorn’s distinctive design and heroism have made him a fan-favorite clone. The Marvel influence on his design is subtle enough not to be overbearing but cleverly incorporates elements of a beloved character into how Thorn looks and acts. Fans would not have to look as hard, however, to see the Marvel influence on another Season 6 clone commander.
