Today we remember...
Eddie Byrne at his birthday (born 1911)

Eddie Byrne was born today year 1911 in Birmingham, England, UK and deceased 21 Augusti 1981. He played General Willard in A New Hope.

General Vanden Willard is the commander of the Rebel forces at Yavin 4. He was relieved when Prinsess Leia Organa arrived at Yavin IV.

Gilramos Libkath isn't in the films even if the name is in the casting list. This neimodian is Rune Haako, the aide to Nute Gunray, despite a different mask and voice.
You can read an explenation about this confusing information in Keeper of the Holocron's Blog.

Shu Mai is the president of the Commerse Guild. She is killed by Darth Vader when the Sith no longer had need for the Separatists.

San Hill is the Chairman of the The InterGalactic Banking Clan. He is killed by Darth Vader when the Sith no longer had need for the Separatists.

Bravo 6 is one of the pilots in the squadron of N-1 starfighters that was send to destroy the Trade Federations Droid Control Ship.

BD-3000 Luxury Droid is a mechanical attendant. With its chromed finish, smooth surfaces and eye-pleasing shape they can be seen in the hall of the Senate or in the Galaxies Opera House.
The droid design was nicknamed Bettybot before it got the name BD-3000.

Today...
