Apparently that's his home now, since Lucas (allegedly) stiffed him on his cut of the prequels returns. His instantly recognisable face and chirpy accent was actually a barrier to getting work; even his PhD in linguistics wasn't good enough for Hollywood. Then his unashamed involvement with the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special hit the headlines and that was it. He tried getting work in the porn industry with that famous extensible third leg and all those useful attachments, but eventually drifted into deadend jobs - first as a fire hydrant, an ATM and finally a trashcan. He took to the bottle, downing half a crate of Brasso a day, and doing favours for passing stray dogs before his agent finally found him living on the streets and told him about Disney's takeover. Even then he had to fight to get back the rôle that had made him famous, auditioning against such robot talent as the Honda Asimo droid, B-9 from the Lost In Space movie (his own career dangerously on the skids) and Sylvester Stallone.
Or so I've heard.
