He did back in the concept stage ;) That's the inspiration behind this design.

Loving what I am seeing so far. I really dig Chopper's design and personailty, plus all the call-backs to old McQuarrie and Joe Johnston concept art. I think (with the possible exception of the Inquisitor who feels more prequelesque), so far everything has a wonderful ANH vibe to it. :) I look forward to picking up that SL series Chopper figure and giving it some extra parts and custom paint to bring him up to sit comfortably alongside the collector grade figures. The bones are all there.

That life-size version of Chopper shows up in this video from the Nuremberg Toy Fair (from about the 4 minute mark):

Oh, that's cool! Hadn't seen that one.

The "other guy" looks to be basically a McQuarrie concept Snowtrooper:
