Shigeru Miyamoto filled Star Fox with animals because Star Wars and Gundam already had human sci-fi covered: "We're going to create our own original science fiction!"
Shigeru Miyamoto explained that the decision to feature animal characters in Star Fox, rather than robots or humans, was a deliberate choice to create original science fiction distinct from popular franchises like Star Wars and Gundam. This creative direction, inspired partly by local folklore and a baseball team, led to the iconic cast of Star Fox characters.
