Behind the scenesEdit

The actor who portrayed Telsij has been identified as Eiji Kusuhara, who also starred in Eyes Wide Shut and died in 2010.

The Star Wars databank misidentified him as fellow Y-wing pilot Ekelarc Yong, incorrectly using a photo of Telsij, on closer inspection the two pilot helmets differ in paint design and the actors are different.
