Does anyone think Herman Goering looks like General Veers?


The Count

Recommended Posts

Perhaps they intentionally chose that actor for that role because of the passing resemblance. I mean...basically the Imperial forces are representative of the Nazis in WWII anyway. Right down to the use of the word Stormtroopers. Remember when SW was just a very rough cut...when they still had old WWII footage inserted for the X-Wing/TIE fighter conflicts?

 

I wonder if any of the other characters resemble real-life people?

not to mention all the blasters were designed around WWII German pistols and rifles.;)

 

I think it's very posible that the casting was deliberate.

Why would they cast someone who looks exactly like Goering?? You suspect George Lucas of being a Nazi or something ?? :rolleyes:

 

 

no, we don't think George was a Nazi. we think he may have cast actors who look like Nazis to play the Imperials. George may have been trying to link the two, Imperials=Nazis, or something of that sort.
