ONE WEEK BEFORE RELEASE OF JAMES LUCENO TARKIN

For all you Peter Cushing / Tarkin / Star Wars followers out there...there is just one week to go before the release of James Luceno's book STAR WARS: TARKIN! ....'Bestselling Star Wars veteran James Luceno gives Grand Moff Tarkin the Star Wars: Darth Plagueis treatment, bringing a legendary character from A New Hope to full, fascinating life.' ....'The novel provides a nuanced, multi faceted anti hero that is captivating, ominous, and calculating, in many ways, this is an original tale of the Empire, as much as it is Tarkin. It may very well be one of my favorite Star Wars novels..' Dan Z. Coffee..

I've had so many requests and queries about this one over the last few days...so here it is again: Peter Cushing wearing his carpet slippers during the shooting of 'STAR WARS' in 1977. For those who don't know the story behind this... Peter took a size 12 in footwear. On the first day of shooting, Peter discovered the boots were far too small.. as the wardrobe department could not source a larger pair of boots at short notice, Peter wore his carpet slippers in his mid and close up shots. Yes... he blew up Alderaan in his slippers!
