Edwards: That's a great example of… you do something and the fans latch onto it. We can't help [looking at it]. There are crazy busy days for us [working on the movie] and when you get a 30-second gap, I’ll look online and these crazy things turn up. And you show them to everyone working in the room and you go, “Look what they’re saying!” [The Mothra spotting] got a laugh. I'd like to say I thought of that and that's what's going on. But when you see the film, you'll understand who those two people are, but they're not there by accident. There's a shot that precedes it that explains it.

Nice! Featuring this!
For those who don't know, or haven't seen, King Of Zombies mentioned the Easter Egg and posted the Mothra Twins images awhile back in this thread: THE SHOBIJIN IN THE NEW TRAILER?
This isn't a repeat thread btw, I was just linking King of Zombies post, for relevance. Here are the images he added to his post. :)
Super close up (bit blurry)
See! It does look like the Twins

I like how Gareth said the Skeksis from the movie The Dark Crystal influenced the design, that was a brilliant movie. Loved it when I was a kid.
