Valérian et Laureline (Valérian and Laureline)

Luc Besson's film adapts Pierre Christin and Jean-Claude Mézières's series, drawing its plot from the album L'Ambassadeur des Ombres (Ambassador of the Shadows).

Mézières, who designed for the film, sent Besson the album The Circles of Power, which led Besson to change his hero from a rocket-factory worker to a taxi driver; Mézières re-used his design of a space liner from On the Frontiers for the Fhloston Paradise.

A claim made by Jean-Claude Mézières, never acknowledged by Lucas. Mézières pointed to images in Star Wars that had appeared first in Valérian, such as Leia's metal bikini and a ship resembling the Millennium Falcon, and drew a cartoon of the two heroes meeting Luke and Leia. Filed LOW because only one side has said it.
