If you are unfortunate enough to not have seen this photo yet, well... here it is (taken from innocenenglish.com but originally from NASA). This is a photo taken by the Mars Rover Spirit that was recovered awhile back. It sparked all kinds of theories and made Star Wars' fanboys go nuts. People basically went, as I like to say, ape shit. It looks a great deal like the blurred form of a Sandman from Episode 1 (I think that's what they're called, whatever those things are that wield snipers and have those gasmask... thingies, they're probably in other episodes as well). Just like all my disheartening posts of late, here's some bad news, it is not a life form. It is rather an oddly-shaped rock, that has eroded in a very unique way from the extreme wind on Mars. Quite a coincidence on the whole eroding shape though, huh? If you take a look at the original photograph (this is a part of the original though cut down) you can see the size measurement doesn't add up. I couldn't find the original image, but I'm sure if someone was interested enough they could. This rock in reality, is tiny compared to the Mars Rover Spirit. If only the Science-Fiction community could get a break =/.
