That's awesome! Its amazing how many Stars Wars actors are from the UK! Peter Cushing, Sir Christopher Lee, Kenny Baker, Peter Mayhew, Anthony Daniels, Sir Alec, Ian McDermont, ect.

Listen for when Dennis says "we have an injured rabbit also"... sounds rather like his voice for Wedge in Star Wars.

Not that amazing. Don't know about the most recent three, but the first trilogy was filmed primarily at Pinewood Studios in England.
