Tito Paul.
He was the guy that clothes-lined himself on the door in that one scene.

A: No one! It's a trick question, since there were no Imperial Guards in the Original Star Wars (episode IV: A New Hope).

The voice of David Prowse with his nose is a vise? David Prowse is the British body-builder who played the "body" of Darth Vader.

allright, I'm not a Star Wars geek - sheesh.

John Ratzenberger, aka Cliff Clavin, played a guard who had an appearance with the Emporer.

Seriously - read the credits at the end of the movie. He has one line - something like "Yes, sir!" and salutes and turns around and exits.

Basically, yeah...they recorded a ton of bear sounds from the wild, and then pieced them together to make his voice.

Pretty amazing.

This reminds me of how they came up with the T-Rex roars in the "Jurassic Park" series of movies...

Anyone know how that came about?

For the T-Rex, a variety of real animals were used to create a full vocabulary of sounds.

For its roar, the sounds of elephant, alligator, penguin, tiger and dog were all layered together, while the noise from a whale's blowhole was looped together to make the sound of it breathing.

Hmmm...sounds good enough for me!

Although I thought the roar was a modified recording of a bull walrus during mating season (I remember hearing that on one of the making of shows)...but I could be wrong...

Ok, it's time to take make like Alexander Haig, and take control of this thread!

I purpose the following rules upon the Trivia thread:

1) The question must be football related.

2) A link providing the answer must be provided upon request.

3) All questions and anwsers will deal with facts and data, No Opinions.

4) The poster who gets his/her correct answer up first wins the opportunity to pose the next question. This of course can be passed to someone else, but must be done so by name.

5) This is an exhibition, not a competion, so please...No Wagering!

With these stip's, I will now hand it off to JFK...the ball is in your court!
