Can anyone tell me the name of the middle aged man in this documentary holding the bull horn in Jabba's Palace saying "Take two! Turnover." He also talks to the ewoks during a battle shot saying something like "...keep you here. We'll spead you out over the bushes...." I believe he is an assistant director but I'm not sure. I know it's not Richard Marquand, or Howard Kazanjian but I've always wanted to know who "that grumpy old man" is. Does anybody know for sure.

You're right, my friend, he is the assistant director on Return Of The Jedi. His name is David Tomblin, and, in addition to ROTJ, he also worked on the Indiana Jones movies. He can be seen, and identified by name, via an on-screen subtitle, in the documentary Great Movie Stunts And The Making Of Raiders Of The Lost Ark (yes, that is the WHOLE title!). It was released on VHS approximately ten to thirteen years ago, and, to my knowledge, has never been released since.
