I'm sure I'm not the only one who noticed this. But why does Dominus Ghaul's head look like it was straight up copy and pasted from Darth Malgus from Star Wars: The Old Republic?

Yeah I know this seems nitpicky, and others will probably say who cares, no one plays SWTOR. I play it, FYI. But seriously, is it so hard that Bungie's designers couldn't come up with one original design for Ghaul. They just said -blam!- it and hope that EA and BioWare don't notice. Cozmo? Deej? Thoughts?

I mean, the new Titan is captain America, new dawnblade is essentially the solar Titan, and arcstrider is bladedancer with a pole. So they probably have ran out of ideas. Haha

Star Wars and Destiny are in the same universe confirmed

He looks, sounds and acts more like bane from the dark knight rises to me

Darth Malgus hit the roids
-
With that fancy ALL WHITE suit, he kinda looks like a pimp!
-
$5 says that Gary will pull out a red lightsaber
-
Holy s*** your right!
-
MAGLUS GOT TIRED OF STAR WARS AND CAME TO DESTINY
-
Because, original design is hard
-
Probably at least one bungo employee plays SWTOR.

I had the same reaction when I saw the trailer. I think Malgus was patterned after Darth Vader when his helmet is removed. I think anything with a pale-skinned baldie and respirator is going to bring up memories of the Star Wars franchise. :) I also think the entire Cabal race was patterned after the Mondoshawan from Fifth Element.

Bungie has made no effort to hide how much influence it gets from other things. The game has tons of references to other games, other cultural media and the like.
-
Why is Gary a bald space marine Bane/Malgus mashup with glowing red eyes? For the same reason that Oryx was a cackling space gargoyle out to get revenge for you killing his son - Bungie cannot design or write villains for shit.
-
It is different enough that it would be more of an homage.

Use the forc....light young padaw...guardian.

You need glasses🤓

Original? There is nothing, or hardly anything nowadays that is original. Back then of course, but not nowadays.
-
Why do Warlocks get to use the Force?! So lazy Bungo pls be creative!
-
Fifth Element anyone?
-
Malgus hit the gym
-
No he looks like a beefed up grunt from Halo.
-
Why does the new Hunter armor look almost identical to Darth Revan?
-
Maybe cause all cabal resemble Malgus, the head shape and armor from the neck up are similar
