Behind the scenes
This character from the movie was named Vandolay due to one of Decipher's employees being a fan of the television show Seinfeld. The character George Costanza on Seinfeld was fascinated with the name Vandelay and wished to adopt that name as a pseudonym, such as Art Vandelay the architect. The name was then featured in several subsequent Seinfeld episodes as a recurring joke. In a later scene of Empire Strikes Back, when Admiral Firmus Piett gave the order to ready the tractor beams on the Executor during its attempted capture of the Millennium Falcon, reused footage was shown of the Avenger's crewmen, Vandolay included. It is not known whether or not this was Vandolay.
