Talk:Lightning Bear/@comment-28302658-20170828172013/@comment-60605-20190315100825

Thing is, Bear probably never even was in Star Wars at all. Here's what Steve Sansweet, Director of Content Management & Head of Fan Relations Lucasfilm Ltd. in his time, had to say about that:

"I have been asked about Lightning Bear before, so I did as thorough a check as possible, asking many actors, stunt people, and crew. Even more to the point, I researched all of the Return of the Jedi Daily Call sheets that list the name of everyone--major actors, stunt people, background players--who will be needed on set each day, and what time they will be needed. I can confirm for you that Lightning Bear's name does NOT appear on any of the daily sheets. Nor did anyone I talk to have a firm recollection of him at all being connected to the filming. And he is nowhere in the credits. Those are the facts. I will let you draw your own conclusions."
