Railok Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Great guest! Let's not forget so we don't make the mistake others have done: Corey Dee Williams played Klaatu during the Sail Barge scenes (which the first picture in the above post shows. That's actually Corey, not John!) while John Simpkin played Klaatu in all the scenes taking place in Jabba's palace (which the second picture in the above post shows). Hopefully, this will prevent people to get the wrong pictures signed. :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky242 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 The 2nd pic is also wrong - the pic is of Giran who was played by Trevor Butterfield! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuariPodcasterWilliamson Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Nice! Both Klaatu's at the same event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, this will prevent people to get the wrong pictures signed. :) Thanks, I knew someone would be able to clarify! So was there only 2 Klaatu's in the film, one inside the palace and one on the barge? The one seen in that famous palace photo advancing on Luke, and the basis for the 80's action figure...that was John Simpkin right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky242 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 There were 2 vintage Klaatu figures - one from Jabbas palace (Johns character) and one from the skiff (Coreys character). Johns one is the one with the furry skirt. Coreys version wears the creamy coloured suit. Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zagreus Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 So there was. I had completely forgotten about Corey's figure. I guess the furry accessory on John's figure mad his more memorable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmorris2504 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 There's another 'klaatu' played by Trevor Butterfield?? I'm confused now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirbinator Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Two Klaatu's.....from ROTJ.....at the same event.....my head's spinning! Another good SW announcement thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuariPodcasterWilliamson Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 There's another 'klaatu' played by Trevor Butterfield?? I'm confused now No, Trevor played a different character entirely called Giran: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Giran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmorris2504 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Ah they looked similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railok Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 The 2nd pic is also wrong - the pic is of Giran who was played by Trevor Butterfield! Why didn't I notice this? You're right! To make it simple for everyone to understand, I thought I'd go through this once and for all with images: Here's a picture of Simpkin as Klaatu (as well as another alien from the same race, Wooof, whose actor I don't know) Here's a picture of Williams as Klaatu Here's a picture of Butterfield as Giran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zagreus Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Ah, so Corey & John played the same Klaatu. One on the location shoot and one in studio. Thanks for clarifying. I'm a little surprised that with Showmasters' close association with Star Wars that they get these photos wrong . The main pic for Julius Leflore on the LFCC site is wrong too, isn't it? He wasn't the one in blue sleeves who pushes Luke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Simpkin Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) Nice to see so much interest in Klaatu... And well-informed comments! Just thought I'd jump in and clarify the situation re the picture of Giran (Rancor keeper) with Mark Hammil. Ive had a long chat with Trevor Butterfield about this. We both had to rack our brains to remember what this picture was (our age I guess!) But worked out it was Trevor (who played Giran) in a set photo-shoot, but wearing MY mask... We think wardrobe made a mistake and no-one noticed! Looking forward to meeting Corrie Dee... See you there guys, John Simpkin Edited June 6, 2014 by John Simpkin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
