Heroes come in all ages and sizes, as young children from the film's production team (including the family of Gary Kurtz) happily volunteer to play Rebel soldiers for background scenes, primarily to make the Rebel Hangar set look bigger and longer distanced in camera, a trick used in other sci-fi films of the time like the UK-filmed
Alien (linked to the
Nostromo space vehicle), and
Star Trek - The Motion Picture (The
Enterprise's vast engine room).
