Madine entreats the Rebels to simply trust him and overlook his suspicious qualities.

Actor Dermot Crowley , who played Crix Madine in Return of the Jedi was interviewed for Star Wars Interviews. Here’s an interesting excerpt.

Q: Your scenes in the movie are in the briefing room, where you tell the Rebels about the second Death Star. There were more scenes with you filmed (you have your own ship in the movie), but unfortunately cut from the movie. Can you tell something about those deleted scenes?

Crowley: Well my scenes in the briefing room were all that I was due to shoot on the movie. I think they were due to take two, possibly three days. However as I was leaving the set one evening the First Assistant asked if I was free the following week, as George Lucas needed to shoot some more footage of the Rebel battle. I ended up doing several days, as I remember, shooting blue screen footage with George directing the second unit. A wonderful way to spend a working day, flying into battle each morning!
