How do you appear in one of the biggest movies of all time without anyone , including the people who worked on the movie , knowing your name ? You ’d have to ask BoShek , the gloriously sideburned human cling out in the cantina in Star Wars . For most 40 class , no one has have sex who take on this character . Now we do .
After discovering that even Lucasfilm had no idea what the name of the actor portraying the distance airplane pilot was , Billy Jensen — who in full disclosure is my pal and conscientious objector - founder of my late lamented former site Topless Robot — countersink out to solve the closed book of the actor ’s identity . After all , it may not signify much to say BoShek has an action figure . ( If you appeared on a individual flesh of a Star Wars photographic film , you have a figure . ) But BoShek was weirdly instrumental in that he directed Luke Skywalker and Obi - Wan Kenobi to Chewbacca and Han Solo , which made , well , the entire trilogy possible .
The saga of Jensen ’s search — which admit scouring tape of other things the role player may have been in , where they might have been shoot , and contacting other masses who knead on the cantina scene in A New Hope — is a enchanting and very fun read . It ’s also extremely cheering , because he in reality found the solution , and now he ’s exploit with Star Wars scholar Tom Spina to give the later role player the deferred payment he deserve .
If you have the time , definitely give it a read . If not for me , then for BoShek .
