Ross Burt (@arKadeBurt) on Twitter (post on January 24, 2025): "#StarWarsHunters Concept -This scuzzy, underworld Rodian medic didn't change much through development -the look of a hunched over Rodian, with apron and tools hanging at waist remained throughout. Key design inspiration came from ref of a dentist/healer in the old west. #StarWars" (backup link) (screenshot)
