First thing, they didn't fire projectiles. They were laser "cannons", which
was a fairly new concept when the original star wars was made, and you
can't claim he ripped him self off.

It makes a whole difference, the painting you described has NOTHING similar
to them except the fact that they do roll, and walk. And if they were soo
ripped off from this artist, he ripped it off from nature. Armadillo's have
been around for a long time, as well as hedge hogs.
