Fans of the 1977 original will remember the days when folks regularly swore blind they’d seen the Tosche Station scenes which featured Luke ‘Wormie’ Skywalker, Biggs Darklighter, Deak, Camie Marstrap and Laze ‘Fixer’ Loneozner. In truth, this was the Mandela Effect – they’d read the Storybook of the film which showed images ultimately cut from the final film, and for many years that’s how we best knew Koo Stark, the former girlfriend of Prince Andrew who played Camie in those deleted scenes. The Tosche Station scenes finally saw light in 1999 on the Behind The Magic CD-Rom, but despite that fleeting appearance Stark and Anthony Forrest who played Fixer and a Sandtrooper are suing Lucasfilm for £190 million for ‘profitting off their likenesses’.
Prince Andrew’s ex Koo Stark is suing ‘Star Wars’ producers for £190million. The 68-year-old actress – who dated Prince Andrew in the early 1980s prior to his now-defunct marriage to Sarah, Duchess of York – starred as Camie Marstrap in the 1977 film ‘New Hope’ but her scenes were cut from the final film.
The scenes in question have resurfaced online in recent times and the character has appeared in various spin-offs over the years, so litigation filed in an LA court claims that the production company has profited off her likeness.
The legal action was brought by actor Anthony Forrest – who also starred in the film as Fixer in scenes that were eventually cut – and it is claimed that their “intellectual property rights were exploited” when the scenes became available online and on DVD.
The characters of Camie and Fixer returned in 2021’s The Book of Boba Fett at Tosche Station, when Boba Fett returned after the events of Return of the Jedi, played by Mandy Kowalski and Skyler Bible.
