CLASSIC IMAGE: GETTING SOME BREATHING SPACE!


One of the distinctive UK created Mos Eisley Cantina Aliens, named in several sources as "The Plutonian"- a double-armed, adapted gas-mask prop wearing character, posing for a costume test reference image sometime in April/May 1976, at Elstree Studios, for the original STAR WARS. We think the character, later named as Chall Bekan in the Expanded Universe, was played by a lady (IMDB says Linda Jones?), but I don't have confirmation or more info. If anyone has, please get in touch...

With thanks to Ian Trussler for this side image.
