George Lucas is rabidly anti-lycanthropic. He went on a crusade to remove all wolfmen from the Special Edition of A New Hope replacing Arleil Schous and Lak Sivrak with Melas and Ketwol respectively. But he didn’t erase them as thoroughly as Kamino. Replacing an entire scene was one thing, but removing a character from an ensemble shot was entirely too much effort. Not only does Arleil Schous still appear in the movie (Special or otherwise), but he is in the literal first shot of the cantina’s interior.
Sure he’s a little out of focus, but so isn’t Bom Vimdin and the masses rejoiced with the announcement of that figure. That Bom Vimdin figure helps set the urgency to get Arleil Schous made into an action figure. That aforementioned first shot consists of Hem Dazon, Messieurs Schous and Vimdin, Pons Limbic and an obscured Braconnor Bakiska. We have three of the four visible characters from the opening shot. Now is the time for the fourth.
