Mahmut as a character from his favorate tv show growing up: *"Commander Uzay and the Blue Star Brigade."

*("Uzay" and "Blue Star" is a reference to the most sought-after of Star Wars bootlegs: The blue snowtrooper from the Turkish toy company Uzay. Most of them are straight up copies, but two are rather unique; the aforementioned "Blue Stars" and "Head Man", which appears to be a Royal Guard figure with a chrome-gold head. My guess as why those two were singled out for special attention by the Turks might be because they thought those two appear to have some sort of Ottoman/Arabesque look to them. On a related note: there is a Turkish division of the 501st, so it makes me wonder if there are actually blue Turkish stromtroopers running around, even if it would be simply "as a joke.")
