This is one of those anal Star Wars facts that you probably either didn’t know, or didn’t care to know. Peter Cushing, the B-movie god of horror films in the late 50s through to the mid 1970s, had pretty large feet, and very sensitive ones at that. Throughout Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, “no long shots were taken of Tarkin, because Cushing refused to wear the boots that the wardrobe department had provided for the character, on the grounds that they were not comfortable. Instead, he wore slippers.”

WE FINALLY FOUND A PHOTO OF TARKIN IN SLIPPERS!!!! Up until now it only seemed natural that he would have been wearing fluffy animal head slippers. We still like ours better.

Yes, this is probably the sort of strip that makes BMS inaccessible to the mainstream, but you can’t please everyone all of the time. :-)
