The unnamed Naboo dignitary behind Ebenn Q3 Baobab may be a stand-in actor for Oliver Ford Davies and this character is intended to be Governor Sio Bibble, as their beard and clothing style are very similar, but I haven't seen anything to confirm or deny this.

Plaza de la Paz, Haro (No. 4)

The history of the Plaza de la Paz is the history of Haro. More than a century ago, where there is now a kiosk, there was a fountain where jarreros went to fill their pitchers. Then it was called Plaza de la República and before that, Plaza de la Constitución. In the 40s the citizen became a pedestrian due to the proliferation of cars and gardens were built around the kiosk, turning it into a roundabout.

Vehicles ended up invading the Plaza de la Paz in the 70s, perhaps the first large public car park in Haro. Undoubtedly, this square has always been the heart of the city, since the Town Hall was located there in the eighteenth century and in the nineteenth century, the Swiss Café and its hotel. Already in the 90s the space for pedestrians was recovered and now the square is experiencing a new process of change. After the remodeling of the Torreón museum, the Bendaña palace and the Haro City Council, they have closed and have reopened or will reopen the Madrid bar and the premises that until February occupied the Café Madrid. Also in 2018 a new hotel will be inaugurated.

Currently, the redevelopment works of the Plaza de la Paz are being carried out, which will exempt it from vehicles almost completely. The objective is that the pedestrian gains space and takes center stage, for this, and taking advantage of the need to renew the supply networks, the City Council of Haro invests 250,000 euros in the work. Haro is a tourist town and the Plaza de la Paz, with the tourist office, its nerve center.
