The poster for the new Supergirl movie, scheduled for release on June 26, has sparked a curious debate. The image features an alien that veteran Star Wars fans identify as Lexo Sooger, a character that was cut from the final edit of the saga. No one knows if it was a graphic artist's mistake or an intentional nod, but the detail is already circulating on social media.
The graphic error that shouldn't be repeated in production 🎨
In the development of visual assets for film, art departments often rely on 3D model banks and conceptual references. It's possible that the artist, when designing the poster's background, used a generic figure without verifying its origin. This type of error is avoided with more rigorous quality control and an intellectual property filter. The accidental inclusion of a protected design can lead to legal conflicts, although in this case it seems like a simple oversight with no major consequences.
Lexo Sooger: the actor who lost his role and is now a poster 🎭
The funniest part of the matter is that Lexo Sooger was such an irrelevant character that he never even made it to the screen. His actor, after the cut, surely thought his career was over. Now, however, he appears on a Supergirl poster. The paradox is brutal: he went from being a draft forgotten to being the center of a viral mystery. If the studio doesn't clarify it, this alien will have more fame than many stars of the saga.
