This guy is most likely just a background character, but I none-the-less noticed that he has no head.
I first thought it was just a combination of the camera angle and his stance, but the white thing on his shoulders, which I at first thought was a collar of some kind, actually rotates (kind of like R2’s dome-head) and it has antennaes sticking out of it. So I guess this guy’s a cyborg?
We’ve obviously had cyborgs in the movies with Vader, as well as Lobot, and perhaps some pther background characters that I can’t remember right now, but I’ve yet to see someone either in the movies or the EU (both of them) that was missing a head.
Or it’s just the camera angle and his stance. I was friends with a cyborg for a while and he stood with his head down all the time.
nothing against your friend (i think? is my response even insulting or referring to your friend in any way? better to be safe and stay on the good side of cyborgs), but it certainly seems like this guy does not have a normal human head/neck. given the ‘police’ lights on his back, it would seem to make sense that he is an unthinking enforcer of some sort.
also, removing heads digitally was harder in the OT times.
