Harry Shearer ( of Simpsons and Spinal Tap fame ) did voicework overdubbing some of the on-set English accents in the first film.

I think the Ecclecake rumour is just urban myth. all of the above photos (Except the cushing one) are Pygram. They tried four or five different makeups on him, and ultimately went with one that looks nothing like cushing.... some of the early tests are spooky...god only knows why they didnt use one of them.....That looks like him and is certainly different to the actor in Revenge:

Completists only, and all that. Here's some silent footage from making ROTJ. As far as i know, this footage is mostly new to fandom. Fragments of it of it had been seen in one of the fan-made documentaries.

Something I meant to mention a couple of weeks ago, but this article mentions "Star Wars was conceived as a metaphorically radical retelling of the Vietnam war from the perspective of the Viet Cong, with the United States as the original Evil Empire."

Fabulous, thankyou for that!

"Soylent Green" from 1973 also had an early video game in it which used computer generated images.
"The death of Thatcher is nothing more than a salient reminder of how Britain got into the mess that we are in today. Of why ordinary working people are no longer able to earn enough from one job to support a family; of why there is a shortage of decent affordable housing; of why domestic growth is driven by credit, not by real incomes; of why tax-payers are forced to top up wages; of why Rupert Murdoch became so powerful; of why cynicism and greed became the hallmarks of our society."
Wasn't the cuboid wire-frame image of the TARDIS spinning in "Warrior's Gate" done on a computer?

That was a Mat Irvine wire frame model if I remember rightly, not computer generated.

Even funnier is that the wireframes in Escape from New York, as Plissken flies the glider into the city are cardboard boxes with white reflective tape to indicate CG!

According to this Grange Hill fansite, Peter 'Pogo Patterson' Moran was in the first Star Wars film!

Anyone any idea if this is true, and who he might have played? I can only assume he was one of the child actors who played a Jawa, but I've no idea. There's nothing on his IMDB entry.

It says that he appeared alongside Michael Sheard, who was only in Empire so I can't think who he could have been in that - an Ugnaught perhaps?

I'm not sure that that website meant that Sheard and Moran were in the film together, just that both actors had appeared in the trilogy.

Yeah, I took it to mean they were both in the trilogy rather than the same film. The site definitely has 1978 down for Moran's appearance.
