I maintain that if he'd stuck to film and kept using mostly real locations like he did on Phantom Menace the prequels would be remembered a bit more fondly. I swear Attack of the Clones is a fricking visual nightmare.

no proof then
Do you ask linemen workers how they get out of their buckets also?
post hoc ergo propter hoc
I once did follow-spot on a couple of tv shows and in one show I had a little ladder that I climbed up to get into a seat with my spot on the back truss. On another show I just had to climb up the scaffolding behind the audience's seats to get onto my little platform with my spot. I know it's Star Wars but it's really not that peculiar.

Well... yes? No one's been a guard at the Masassi temple on the fourth moon of Yavin here so we're kinda all speculating a bit

It's two trash cans glued together actually and I posted that fact >One of the key shots consisted of a Rebel in his lookout nest—which was yet another ready-made prop. “The biggest box in our luggage was a trash can,” Alexander recalls. “The guard’s little post was really two $28 trash cans joined together and stuck on an aluminum pole with guide wires. We’d already tested it in the middle of Sepulveda Dam, before we’d left. As soon as I’d shinnied up the pole, the police came along and stopped to look at these idiots in a trash can twenty feet up in the air.”
>After climbing pyramid number three once again, they took the trash can out of the crates, found chinks in the stones to keep the poles stable, and then placed the trash can on top of the poles so it had a commanding view overlooking the jungle. “We got it up there—but then nobody wanted to climb into it,” Alexander says. “So first a local did, and then I did—and I must admit, it was kind of scary looking down. The temple dropped away at an angle, but I figured that if I fell, I’d probably get stuck in a tree halfway down.”
>On the third day model maker Lorne Peterson joined the trio in Tikal—and was immediately coaxed into the crow’s nest. Edlund also had him dress up as the Rebel who tracks the pirate ship with what’s supposed to be some sort of fantastic contraption, but which was really a Minolta spot meter, with a tube and batteries taped onto it like a gun, “to make it look sci fi.”
Sounds like you just had to climb into it irl. Not too different from a followspot on a tv show

nowhere does it state how someone climbed out of it
Finally, a man of intelligence to irrevocably prove that the lone-guard-extra is permanently entombed in the plastic bucket somewhere in Guatemala jungle. Since how would a man get out from a waist high bucket without special provisions planned ahead of construction.

There's some expanded lore bullshit about it somewhere. Its on a telescoping pole. You step into it on the ground and then it lifts you up into the air.
They put them on vehicles too.

How could I? If anybody could image a way to step out of a bucket, then it cast doubt on the proof of entombment you so cleverly established by recounting logical fallacies.

Did a trash can really cost 28 USD in the 1970s. That seems expensive.

Not all pricing is linear inflation, tons of things have (adjust for inflation) gotten a lot cheaper.
Also usually more shitty, the “don’t make them like they used to” meme is very true. But lots of what economists call “durable goods” used to be way more expensive before Walmart broke the barrier.

It looks like a standard plastic trash can. It has no moving parts. How could it have been made any better in the 70s compared to now? Maybe just thicker plastic, that's it.

My guess is that the Rebels' radars are unable to detect tiny ewoks and they need human guards to spot them.
There's probably an EU book about it, too.
You might not be entirely wrong. In the earlier scripts Yavin was the Wookie planet where the 3rd act took place. But after a bunch of rewrites it got cut and by the time it ended up in Return of the Jedi it had evolved into Endor and the Wookies had become Ewoks. Reading through all of George's scripts for the first movie is kinda fascinating
My question is why does he need a spear up there? It seems a bit pointless doesn't it? Unless there's some flying aliens on Yavin that he has to worry about
>This character was played by Industrial Light & Magic's Lorne Peterson. >"Osleo Prennert" is an anagram of "Lorne Peterson."
Mike was right about everything.
According to the script he's guarding the temple, duh.
Here's 2nd unit shooting it in Guatemala too. Apparently the guard-post is really just 2 trash cans glued together lol

I got way more where that came from mate

If this were a word it would mean full of errors.
George's scripts are full of hilarious spelling mistakes.
I count five ships.
Woah, that's one strong dude.
How do they construct this on set and not even bother thinking about how the frick you're supposed to get in and out of it?
The platform itself probably raises up and down
and then what
Then it raise back up with the next guard on shift
how does he get out of the can
It opens up you moron
proof?
We only ever see the trash can from one angle, so it probably has a door on the other side
no proof then

It's a Jedi temple so someone with the force will lift him up and down.
They don't have radar or cctv in the future, or even guns it seems

Luke was specifically scanning for life forms at the start of ESB and couldn't even detect the wampa beast 3ft to his right.
He's a spear chucker
Repairs the telephone lines
drones getting stuck in trees and his job is to knock them out
>Whats the purpose of this guy?
Air traffic control.
Dex's Diner drive through
Humiliation ritual
too many replies, not worth putting in my two cents.
legends say he is still in the bucket to this day
Imagine having to spend your life in the bucket and everytime you shit you have to pick it up and hurl it out
I'd assume he'd just call in if he needed to take a piss or whatever and another guard would take over.
You're assuming he's eating. Post hoc ergo proctor hoc.
>Post hoc ergo proctor hoc
What Star Wars character is that? I can't find an entry about them on Wookiepedia
My question is why does he need a spear up there? It seems a bit pointless doesn't it? Unless there's some flying aliens on Yavin that he has to worry about
That's Osloe Prennert and his job was watching over the temples using his enlarged sensor scope.

parking lot attendant, he collects the fees and fines
so does he just scoot up on the railing hang his ass over the edge and let logs fly, or what?
