10 Star Wars Answers Given YEARS Later

10. Who Played Boshek?

As Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, C-3PO and R2-D2 enter a little watering hole by the name of Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina - a.k.a. the Mos Eisley Cantina - both our heroes and the audience were introduced to a ton of interesting faces.

Among that collection of scum and villainy knocking back beverages were everything from grumpy Aqualaish punters to grinning horned figures, but there was also a human there who seemingly passed on the chance to help the gang.

Said dude was known as BoShek, and he could be seen gesturing towards Chewbacca before leaving Kenobi to have a chat with him.

As time went by following the release of 1977's Star Wars, it was eventually revealed that BoShek was very much a smuggler, and one who actually came from the same world as Han Solo, Corellia. 

But precisely who played the sideburn-sporting character? Well, that was a question that wasn't answered in the credits, and it would remain a mystery for nearly 40 years until investigative journalist Billy Jensen finally discovered the truth in 2016.

It turns out that BoShek was played by the late Frances Alfred Basil Tomlin, with his family getting in touch with Jensen to confirm it was him in the iconic movie chatting to Sir Alec Guinness.

Now get this smuggler a credit!
