hi all as you might guess from my avatar i do enjoy the occasional mst3k episode. however whilst enjoying the episode called "san francisco international" i could swear that two of the villans were indeed veers and madine (the guy who gives the shuttle briefing in ROTJ, not sure if i got the name right!) in a previous "life"

see what you guys think-

they are best seen at about 3:18 int the cop car.

I'm always seeing familiar-looking people when I watch British TV shows and movies (mostly on PBS), and after a while it dawns on me that they were baddies in one of the SW films.

Stranger things have happened. Cliff the mailman on Cheers was in Empire. Porkins and Biggs both get shot by the Joker in the 1989 Batman.

If you look at the closing credits of San Francisco International again, you might spot the name of the actor who was heard but not seen in Empire!

Where were you in '77?

Wouldn't a simple IMDB check clear this up?  Or are they uncredited?

Yes, I could do the check myself, but...too lazy.

Uncredited it seems. The fellow who played Madine does not have any credits listed prior to 1976, and this film is from 1970.
