Ich bin zwar kein Star Wars-Fan, aber das nenn ich mal tolle Postergrafiken

Das ist genauso inkonsequent wie die Steelbooks zur Saga die alle Bösewichte auf den Covern tragen, nur Episode II hat Yoda.

Bei der PT wäre ein Helmthema allein bei Episode 1 schon schwierig.

Wie wäre es mit dem Podracerhelm von Anakin?

Kenny Baker, actor behind R2-D2, dies
The 3ft 8in actor, who starred in six Star Wars films as well as Time Bandits and Flash Gordon, was 81

The British actor who played R2-D2 in the Star Wars films has died at the age of 81 after a long illness. Kenny Baker, who was 3ft 8in tall, shot to fame in 1977 when he first played the robot character.

He went on to play the character in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, as well as the three Star Wars prequels from 1999 to 2005. He also appeared in a number of other much loved films in the 1980s, including The Elephant Man, Time Bandits and Flash Gordon.

His niece, Abigail Shield, paid tribute to her uncle. She told the Guardian: “It was expected, but it’s sad nonetheless. He had a very long and fulfilled life. He brought lots of happiness to people and we’ll be celebrating the fact that he was well loved throughout the world. We’re all very proud of what he achieved in his lifetime.”

Baker and Shield’s father, Ian, grew up in Birmingham. She said: “When he was a child, he was told that he probably wouldn’t survive through puberty, being a little person in those times, they didn’t have a very good life expectancy. He did extremely well in his life. He was very ill for the last few years so we had been expecting it. He had been looked after by one of his nephews, who found him on Saturday morning.”

Baker met his wife Eileen after an appearance on the Michael Parkinson TV chat show. She wrote in and said she was a little person too and wanted to meet him. “They got married soon after,” Shield said. “Sadly she died of epilepsy about 20 years ago.”

Shield added: “He had problems with his lungs and was often in a wheelchair. He was very poorly for a long time. He was asked to go out to LA for the new Star Wars premiere, but he was told he was too ill to travel. Luckily he did manage to meet George Lucas again when he came to Manchester.”

Baker’s agent, Johnny Mans, said he had known him since the 1960s when they were both club entertainers. “He was part of a double act called the Mini-Tones, his partner being Jack Purvis, who sadly died after an accident with his car. We worked together in summer shows and charity events before I went on to become his agent, and his then wife Eileen and Kenny also became great friends with my own family, with Kenny visiting my home on numerous occasions.

“Kenny also went on as a solo artiste and then eventually moved into films. Kenny was truly a great friend, one of the nicest guys you could ever wish to meet, and a fabulous and talented performer. My wife and family will miss him terribly.”

Damals am "Star Wars"-Set
Carrie Fisher schildert Affäre mit Harrison Ford
Han Solo und Prinzessin Leia sind das Traumpaar für Millionen "Star Wars"-Fans. Nun behauptet Darstellerin Carrie Fisher, sie habe mit Harrison Ford auch abseits des Sets eine Affäre gehabt.

US-Schauspielerin Carrie Fisher hatte laut eigenem Bekunden eine Affäre mit Harrison Ford, während die beiden als Prinzessin Leia und Han Solo für den Film "Krieg der Sterne" vor der Kamera standen.

"Es war so intensiv", erzählte die heute 60-jährige Fisher dem Magazin "People" in einem Interview. "Unter der Woche hieß es Han und Leia, und am Wochenende Carrie und Harrison."

Fisher war damals 19 Jahre alt, der 33-jährige Ford verheiratet und Vater von zwei Kindern. Die dreimonatige Affäre begann demnach 1976 bei einer Geburtstagsfeier für Regisseur George Lucas und endete nach Abschluss der Dreharbeiten zum ersten Film der "Star Wars"-Kultreihe.

Dass Fisher nach 40 Jahren einen plötzlichen Erinnerungsschub hat, mag wesentlich mit dem Erscheinen ihres Buches "The Princess Diarist" zu tun haben, einer "intimen, urkomischen und aufschlussreichen Erinnerung daran, was hinter den Kulissen eines der berühmtesten Filme aller Zeiten geschah". Nun wird mit viel Liebe der Verkauf dieser Erinnerungen angeschoben.

Über die literarische Qualität der Memoiren lässt sich wohl streiten. In schwülstigem Tonfall beschreibt Fisher etwa ihre Selbstzweifel nach der ersten gemeinsam verbrachten Nacht: "Ich schaute hinüber zu Harrison. Das Gesicht eines Helden - einige Haarsträhnen fielen über seine edle, leicht pelzige Augenbraue", heißt es da. "Wie könnte ein so strahlendes Musterexemplar von Mann mit meinesgleichen zufrieden sein?"

Das wiederum wird wohl ein Geheimnis des Musterexemplars bleiben. "People" veröffentlicht in dieser Woche Auszüge aus dem Fisher-Buch. Harrison Ford habe ein Exemplar erhalten, die Erwähnung der Liaison aber nicht kommentiert, so die Zeitschrift.
