I never noticed Spock guy in there before! Does Frink have a time machine? 😉

I mean he won a copy that came up for auction.
These are the two PSA’s shot on that set.

No idea where they shot this one. Maybe it’s a utility room at Elstree?

I think the mouse and a couple other creatures were more “off the shelf” things Rick Baker or someone else had lying around to fill out the scene. (Others, like the bouncer, were created just for the HS.) The HS cantina set could have been chopped up and rearranged, or else Lucasfilm still had the partial sets handy from the U.S. shoot. They also could have simply built a new set.

It would seem all the U.K. masks got shipped back to Lucasfilm, as many of them appear in this Richard Pryor show skit from late 1977.
