- ↑ Though Elaine Baker is credited in The Making of The Empire Strikes Back as being the actress who appears in the final film, a twitter post (screenshot) by Lucasfilm Story Group's Pablo Hidalgo suggests the information in the book is incorrect, making Eaton (credited in the book as doing the test shots) the one who appears in the film.
