ANOTHER veteran from the original Star Wars trilogy will be heading for the North Yorkshire coast next spring.
Mike Edmonds played Logray, the head shaman of the Ewok tribe, in Return of the Jedi, and has also featured in many other classic films.
He will be taking part in the Sci-Fi Scarborough event, which will be held at the resort’s Spa Complex on March 14 and 15.
As well as playing Logray, the actor was one of the puppeteers who helped Jabba the Hut come to life in the classic film.
He also featured in such films as The Dark Crystal, Flash Gordon, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Harry Potter - and famously played Og in the classic Time Bandits.
At the convention he will feature on a "Star Wars Unmasked" panel – which will also include Darth Vader himself in the shape of actor Dave Prowse; Paul Blake, who played bounty hunter Greedo; Femi Taylor, who played dancer Oola; and Pam Rose, who featured as Leesub Sirln.
