DJ said, “Original Trilogy performers are getting harder to track down and even more difficult to interview. So, meeting Philip Herbert and Ailsa Berk at 2023’s Star Wars Family Fun Day in the U.K. was a total delight. Especially, to find them both at one event.

In this installment of the Star Wars 100 Interviews archive, we speak with Jamel Boukabou about his incredible “triple threat” experience on the set of Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones.
Jamel holds a unique place in Star Wars history as the performer behind three distinct roles in a single film, spanning from the heights of Coruscant to the sands of Tatooine.
The First Tusken to Fall The centerpiece of this interview focuses on the fateful night at the Tusken camp. Jamel played the Tusken Raider standing guard to the left of the tent where Shmi Skywalker was held. He shares the chilling details of being the very first Tusken to be slaughtered by Anakin Skywalker’s lightsaber, marking the character’s first true step toward becoming Darth Vader.
From Naboo to the Outer Rim Beyond the Tusken camp, Jamel touches on his other roles in the film:
Naboo Royal Guard: He was part of the royal escort team that was tragically blown up during the assassination attempt on Senator Amidala at the start of the film.
The Mystery Quarren: Jamel also portrayed a Quarren during the production. Despite reviewing the footage of every Quarren in the film, the exact identity of this background character remains a mystery to be solved by the fans.
