Cutting Room Floor

Burt Reynolds playing Death Star Trooper Corporal Grenwick in a cut scene from the movie most of us fondly remember as Star Wars. What follows is an excerpt from the script.

Corporal Grenwick is able to maintain his composure during the interrogation of Princess Leia Organa but he is also very excited to return to the Death Star Office of Interrogation for a fix. Corporal Grenwick is a truth serum addict. In the comfort of his office he takes off his helmet and gloves and rolls up his sleeve while beckoning the IT-O interrogation droid to his side. He faces away from the window as his mind is altered by the truth serum. Everything inside the Death Star makes perfect sense to him. He is oblivious of the Death Star laser that destroys the planet Alderaan behind him.

It smells like a mustache in here.

Is this one of the guys from Princess Leia's cell with Vader in the film? http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Grenwick. If so, then a great parody of an obscure character. :)

Yes it is. The interrogation droid scared me as a kid so I was glad to find out that there was more to the story.
