John Ratzenberger who plays postman/trivia master Cliff Clavin in Cheers (and Hamm in Toy Story) also plays Major Derlin in The Empire Strikes Back (you see him and has dialogue in Echo Base).

When I was working at Decipher for the first collectible Star Wars Card Game, on Major Derlin’s card we mentioned that in the Catina in Tatooine, “everyone knew his name” in homage to Cliff Clavin.

Also notice the small speeder with C-3PO, R2, Luke and Obi-Wan in it, on top of the larger speeder.
