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.
