Quote of today

Darth Vader convinces Officer Moff Jerjerrod to double his efforts to having the Death Star II ready in time.
Return of the Jedi
Today we celebrate...
Liam Neeson at his 59th birthday (born 1952)
Michael Pennington at his 68th birthday (born 1943)

Liam Neeson (birth name William John Neeson) was born in Northen Ireland, UK and played Qui-Gon Jinn in The Phantom Menace. Before he started his actor career he worked as a forklift operator for Guinness, truck driver, assistant architect and an amateur boxer. Liam Neeson is an Academy Award-nominated Irish actor.

Michael Pennington was born in England, UK and played Moff Jerjerrod in Return of the Jedi. He is a British director and actor who, together with director Michael Bogdanov, founded the English Shakespeare Company. It was an English theater company to present and promote the works of William Shakespeare on both a national and an international level.

Qui-Gon Jinn is a Jedi and the Master to Obi-Wan Kenobi. He is a timeless, wise soul with supreme confidence. Qui-Gon Jinn has great powers and humility and is well skilled in the Jedi arts.
Listen to Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn talking about the life as a Jedi in The Phantom Menace commercials: One destiny

Moff Tiaan Jerjerrod is the Imperial officer supervising the construction of the second Death Star.

The use of archival footage from Return of the Jedi (1983) in the Special Edition of The Empire Strikes Back (1997) means that Jerjerrod has a cameo in The Empire Strikes Back. When Vader's shuttle arrives aboard the Executor, it is Jerjerrod waiting to greet him.
