Dirk Yohan Beer, born on September 16, 1959 and also known as Dickey Beer, was a stuntman who worked on Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi. Within the film, he portrayed four distinct characters: Barada, Sergeant Junkin, a Stormtrooper, and a Biker Scout who is tackled by Ewoks. Furthermore, he served as the stunt double for Jeremy Bulloch as Boba Fett, a role he reprised in the Ewok mockumentary that was included as an easter egg in the 2004 DVD release of the original trilogy. He also doubled Luke Skywalker in the same sequence.
