I saw ROTJ last night as part of a live symphony performance. I guess I haven’t seen the movie on the big screen since it came And I was a kid . when this guy‘s beard came on, all I could think was “WTF Is up with this guy’s beard?“

It’s actually the beard that is General Madine, the guy is just his host.

I remember watching this movie as a kid and wondering about that beard. It always looked off to me!

Why did that guy even have an action figure?

Because Lucas got the profits from merchandising.

Just to be clear…no one has any questions about his haircut? Seriously?

Taking an isolation yes his hair is crazy. In the context of the movie though like Luke’s hair is real weird too. All of their hair is weird and huge.  Han Solo may be the only one that pulls it off.   I think it was just the style of 1983? Or 1982 when they shot it probably? On the big screen, though, his felt beard really stood out as a carpet.
