Aaron McBride on Instagram: ZO-E3 concept art (April 6, 2020): "Earlier Concept for Star Wars VR: Vader Immortal for the Droid character 'ZOE3'. The ball and legs struts were inspired by the hovering robots B.O.B. and V.I.N.C.E.N.T. from The Black Hole ( 1979 ). The Head was something I had tried earlier for L3-37 in SOLO inspired by a Roller Paintbush." (screenshot)
