6:37 Okay, Star Wars trivia. 1. The original Jabba the Hut 15:11 t was a human character played by an actor called Dermot Mulholland who was born in Belfast. Strange to think that his most famous role was one that was cut from the movie. He didn't stay on the cutting room floor though - his image has been recycled in a fan film, so Declan has his place in the SW universe after all. 2. I've just finished watching the BBC's fairly dreadful adaptation of Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles (I watch once a year just to remind myself that it really is that bad - even Ray Bradbury said it was 'boring') and the narrator is an actor called Phil Brown. Despite having a long and varied career Phil's best known as Luke Skywalker's Uncle Owen. 3. Finally a bit of a loony idea on my part. I know that George Lucas was/is an admirer of British filmmaking and nods to many British war films appear in the very first movie, The Dambusters for example. But I'm beginning to believe that Lucas was influenced as a student by British short films called Look at Life, which he might have had access to from the USC film library. There are films from Tunisia and Morocco which resemble the Tatooine sets and the launching of a ship which is amazingly similar to the opening shot of the first movie. So there you are. Most people would think I'm completely mad but...
I don't think you're mad mate, well not all the time haha. That's some pretty excellent and comprehensive Star Wars trivia! Interesting to think of how many parts of the world the franchise has touched with all the hundreds (or thousands?) of actors involved
