The Archduke of Geonosis
Quote of today
Marton Csokas at his 45th birthday (born 1966)
Marton Csokas is the voice of Poggle the Lesser in Attack of the Clones. He was born in Aotearoa, New Zeeland to a Hungarian father and an Irish/Danish mother.
Poggle the Lesser is the Archduke of Geonosis, he was the leader of the Geonosians. Apart from the other Geonosians Poggle wears the insectoid equivalent of a long beard.
The Geonosians was computer-generated characters. Their voices was developed very late in production. Sound Designer Ben Burtt delivered a suitably bizarre mix of guttural speech and clicking insect sounds.
Today we remember...
Luis De Jesus at his birthday (born 1952 - dead 27 July 1988)
Luis De Jesus was born in New York, US and played one of the ewoks in Return of the Jedi. He died of a heart attack only 36 years old.
Ewoks are sentient furred bipeds native to the moon of Endor. Initially, the Endor moon was going to be shown as having two indigenous species -- the Ewoks and the Yuzzums. The Yuzzum ended up as a rifle-toting background character in Jabba's palace.

Always at Jabbas side
Quote of today
Michael Carter at his 64th birthday (born 1947)
Michael Carter was born in Scotland, United Kingdom. He played Bib Fortuna in Return of the Jedi. To put on the make-up as Bib Fortuna took over eight hours in the beginning of the five-week shoot. By the end of the five weeks the make-up process was streamlined down to 58 minutes. Michael Carter think it's weird that Bib Fortuna is much more famous than he is and that he still get letters from Star Wars fans.
If Michael Carter was Bib Fortuna bodily then Erik Bauersfeld was his voice. Erik Bauersfeld is a leading American radio dramatist and voice artist. He has also done the voice of Admiral Ackbar in the video game Star Wars: X-wing (1995).
Today we remember...
Declan Mulholland deceased today 1999
Declan Mulholland was the stand-in for Jabba in A New Hope in the scene that didn't make it into the film until Special Edition. He was born 1932 in Northen Ireland, United Kingdom.
Bib Fortuna is Jabba the Hutts attendant. He is a Twi'lek with red eyes, pointed teeth and pasty face. We first meet him with Jabba the Hutts at the Podrace on Tatooine. His life probably ended on the sail barge when Luke Skywalker blows it up at the Great Pit of Carkoon. In the expanded universe of Star Wars there are a lot survivers from the sail barge so maybe even Bib Fortuna survived.
Before he became the slug we know as Jabba the Hutt in Return of the Jedi the creature was referred to as a "hut". The script establishes the "hut" to be a large, repulsive creature, fat, slug-like with eyes on extended feelers and a huge ugly mouth. This was an effect that George Lucas could not realize at the time.
"Die Wanna Wanga!"Today we celebrate...
Bib Fortuna welcomes the two droids.
