Phil Szostak (@PhilSzostak) on Twitter: "Famously-mustachioed actor Wilford Brimley (who also appeared as Noah Briqualon in 1985's Ewoks: The Battle for Endor) was an early influence on Rio Durant, then a gruff, mustachioed alien pilot with multiple eyes, as seen on p. 103 of The Art of #SoloAStarWarsStory" (screenshot)
