10 Background Actors In Star Wars Who Got Themselves Noticed
9. Lieutenant Lepira
As proof that even the most seemingly insignificant character has a name in the Star Wars universe, the fresh-faced young pilot stood in front of Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) during A New Hope's Death Star briefing is known as Lieutenant Lepira.
Better yet, despite there being virtually no information published about the character in any Expanded Universe lore, he even has his own damn action figure.
The character received renewed attention last year after a Redditor noted how much the actor looked like he could be the offspring of Anakin (Hayden Christensen) and Padme (Natalie Portman) - far more so than Luke himself in fact.
Sadly the actor was uncredited and remains currently identified, but his resemblance to both Christensen and especially Portman is pretty uncanny.
With the recent spotlight shone on the character, one can hope that word might get back to the actor at some point.
