CT Head-Bumping Stormtrooper Discovered?

This was news to me. Even though the interview is from 2010, it has an interesting tidbit in it that has seemed to fly under the radar:

So the interview is with Laurie Goode, who portrayed a Stormtrooper, the male Saurin, and an X-wing pilot in A New Hope. Obviously, he's best known for the Saurin part because that's his most visible role, but he shares some interesting tales about life as a Stormtrooper.

Here's the moment of truth:

Anyhow, no sooner had I ventured back to the set, when I had to revisit the loo again. This was repeated two or three more times, so I eventually managed to get some medicine, and by the time we all had had lunch, my condition began to clear up.

Having returned to our sun-filled resting spot, I was called back to the set, placed in shot, and directed to march down one of the space ships passageways, to the left of others, towards the camera. As I was still feeling somewhat queasy, my concentration wasn’t at it’s best, and as I emerged from the tunnel, my helmet hit a section of the gantry. We all then, as directed, came to a halt. I waited for someone to shout cut, but no one did, so I assumed I was out of frame.

While he admits that he's not 100% sure that he's the Stormtrooper responsible for the flub, it's still a hilarious story nonetheless of one of the Emperor's finest suffering from a bad case of diarrhea.

I thought this was definitely worth sharing.
