Sounds just as cliché as the real thing.

Porkins was played by my old friend Bill Hootkins. His story was tragic. I may tell it in another thread.

He was your friend? That's very cool. I actually was inspired to read about him this weekend on Wikipedia after seeing this video. Weird how he had a connection to the JFK assassination when he was just a high school kid. Got interviewed by the FBI apparently. I always figured he was just some rando nothing actor, but he actually had a fairly extensive acting portfolio both before and after Star Wars. I heard he was a little taken aback when he heard his name would be "Porkins" in the movie. Made him a little self conscious, apparently. I wonder if that was just a little joke by Lucas.

I've posted some of my memories of Hootkins n the What Are You Thinking About Right Now thread.

Some of these re-edited videos of classic movies are pretty hilarious. Here's another re-edited Battle for Yavin IV clip that popped up in my feed:

Was Porkins told to eject???

It did sound like it. Eject to what? I guess you then drop down onto the Death Star surface, and wait for a rescue?

“Bat dog” has rough first day at work:
I had no idea bat dogs were a thing, but some minor league teams have been using them for decades.

This didn't really air...it was an outtake, done as a joke that someone saved. Those of you older folks who grew up in the Bay Area might recognize the name though...
