...couple of really stupid rubber masks. I had to go back and beg another $10,000 so I could go down to a garage and have a friend of mine make some better masks that actually moved their mouths.

Salacious Crumb is the small cackling being who tries to rip out C-3PO's eye in Return of the Jedi. Peter Mayhew played Chewbacca. And the ice creature of Hoth who attacks Luke in The Empire Strikes Back is a Wampa. As for Boba Fett's third cousin twice removed, she recommends you ask Melissa...
