Ar Sparfel - Jabba's Palace Diorama

You will say that I am a little quibble around the edges, but it is by looking at the photos of the album by Ar Sparfel relating to the demonstration that took place recently in Sizun that I came across something rather ... amazing.

Take a good look at the photo of the MOC / diorama of Jabba's Palace above, click on it to be able to display a (very) large format version on Ar Sparfel's flickr gallery, and tell me what you see on the top right with a blue t-shirt ... What's this guy doing here? Who is he ? What are its connections? Who does he work for? a thorough investigation is needed ...

Haven't we been told everything?
