Star Wars Insider: Return of the Ewok Film Part 2 |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
| A professional from the start, Warwick arrives at Elmstree in costume. Admonishing his cab driver that "Ewoks don't have money," he pays his fare with a banana. | These were the real production offices for "Revenge of the Jedi." Warwick makes his way to a dressing room and knocks on the door. | ||

| Warwick: "Please could you tell me
where Ewoks have to report?"
Harrison: "What's an Ewok?" Warwick: "I don't know, but it cost me ten percent." Harrison: "I know the feeling. Come on, we'll ask Mark." |
"The script's so full of surprises," Mark says. "I mean, it's been top secret. Maybe Carrie knows - let's ask her." | "Oh, I know," Carrie says. "You should report to Jabba the Hutt's palace. It's full of unusual and wonderful things." | |

| A grateful Warwick goes off to find Jabba's palace, with Carrie Fisher telling him, "May the Force be with you." Once Warwick is gone, Harrison Ford asks Mark Hamill, "What'd he say he was?" | A trio of stars (Anthony Daniels as C-3PO, Peter Mayhew as Chewbacca, and a remote-controlled R2-D2) strolls through the Elstree backlot, which was closed in 1993 to make way for a supermarket. The Rebels are no help to Warwick: when he asks for directions to Jabba's palace, they scatter in fear. "Jabba the Hutt can't be a very nice person," Warwick concludes. | "I've come for a job," Warwick tells Salacious Crumb (Tim Rose), who directs him to Max Rebo. | |

| When Warwick hits a key on bandleader Max Rebo's keyboard, an English language version of the classic Jedi hit "Lapti Nek" begins, prompting Warwick to break into an impromptu and awesome robot dance. | Warwick interrupts a choreographer and his assistant, who are working with two dancers as Jabba gyrates rhythmically to the music. The choreographer (left) is played by director David Tomblin. | Tomblin tells Warwick he has no use for an Ewok in Jabba's palace and sends him to find Frank Oz. | Warwick makes a narrow escape from Jabba's court. |

 |
| Suddenly, the solitary Ewok finds himself on the Death Star. | Boba Fett (Jeremy Bulloch in costume) emerges from the shadows, shouting (in David Tomblin's distinct British brogue, added later), "Ewok!" | Warwick figures Fett for a case of professional jealousy: "Boba Fett - he must have heard I was up for the part!" | Beating a hasty retreat from the bounty hunter, Warwick ends up in the Emperor's gigantic Throne Room. "Wow, if this is Frank Oz's office, I wonder how big Jim Henson's is. It must cost a fortune to heat this place!" |
