Hi chaps,
I had no idea where to put this - but I stumbled upon a cool Kickstarter today - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/832232974/elstree-1976
I've backed it - I reckon they'll hit their target and the documentary will be published.
Anyway - thought it may float some boats here.
Here's their spiel:

Here's their spiel:
A documentary about ten very different lives connected by having appeared onscreen wearing masks or helmets in Star Wars.
In 1976, during the hottest summer on record, Star Wars was shot in suburban North London. Nobody involved had any idea how big the film would become, many couldn't even remember the title.
Yet, for the extras and actors in smaller roles, their faces hidden in masks and helmets, this seemingly insignificant job would go on to colour their lives even four decades later.
ELSTREE 1976 is a portrait of a cross-section of these people; from the man inside the most iconic villain in film history to the guy whose character was completely cut from the final film. It tells the stories of their lives and explores the eccentric community they have formed, traveling the world, signing autographs for fans.
