^It seems those costumes really got around in the late 70’s.

Richard Pryor - Star Wars Bar
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kJkhEcQ44k&list=PLYn2a0e2FVIKni_wHXR5CJYBnnnYH7mIB&index=20&t - from the almostpink YouTube channel (5 mins long).

The blurb:
“Bartender, Richard Pryor, with real costumes from the original Star Wars.”

It’s fascinating to see how rough some of these costumes look when they’re used for more than just the few seconds they were made for. One of the ask is visibly being held together with duct tape, and if you compare it to ANH they’ve mixed up the sound effects so that they come from the ‘wrong’ aliens.

BTW, I’ve always figured the squid-thing from the end was made specifically for this sketch as I can’t remember ever seeing it in any BTS content. Though considering there was originally a giant praying mantis that they tried to hide in the edit, I guess it could be from the movie as well.
