Every now and then (I fall apart) I like to briefly spotlight a Star Wars background character. Garindan—Long-Snoot—the Imperial spy—was played by stunt woman Sadie Eden and, judging by John Mollo’s sketch, originally designed to be much shorter (image 3, top row, second character from left). (In Alan Dean Foster’s novelization the character is described as a small creature, like a scurrying rat.) The costume is so, well, cheap really, so makeshift: so wonderfully vintage Star Wars.
The art, from the Mos Eisley Cantina Pop-up Book, is by Ralph McQuarrie.
Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith | Padme’s funeral on Naboo | Concept Art vs Screen
Huge solemn crowds line Palace Plaza in Theed, the capital of Naboo, as six beautiful white gualaars draw a flower-draped open casket bearing the remains of a beloved Senator through the Triumphal Arch, her fingers finally and forever clasping a snippet of japor, one that had been carved long ago by the hand of a nine-year-old boy from an obscure desert planet in the far Outer Rim… (Revenge of the Sith, Matthew Stover)
