The dates tie up - the cantina scenes were filmed on 20th and 21st April 76. And it's 'Snaggletooth' :) It'd be interesting to know what his notes say about it.

hi i will upload receipts of his work and pay if you like for the film , i believe he just saw the film as no different to any other he worked on he was in over 200 as an extra , he mentioned harrison ford i guess none of them knew it was going to be a big deal later on very ironic his other films include two of the kubric films, 3 carry on films, robin hood prince of thieves, death wish, battle of britain, minder , frenzy with hitcock, he has a close up in clockwork orange and said kubrick was a nice bloke , my uncle died recently aged 96 so was 56 when he did star wars and worked from late 60's to 90's . He got to see and be directed by kubrick, lucas and hitchcock. i was also told that he was an ewok on return of jedi but not been able to clarify this his grandson told me but im not sure if he was mistaken as he was biggish built and cant see him fitting in a ewok costume!

A real shame he's not around anymore. I'd love to see his notes too if you can post some photos

Is your uncle Fred Wood? His imdb page almost matches the info you've given and he's listed as playing a "catina patron" in Star Wars.

I recently watched a film called Elstree 76 about the background players in Star Wars and it seems a lot of them were part of the same casting agency in London that sent people to most of the films shot in Elstree and Pinewood so maybe your uncle used the same agent as Fred Wood?
