I've removed this:

• George Lucas, who was a protege of director Francis Ford Coppola, shot some footage for the film version of The Godfather. His Star Wars films later made reference to the garroting death of Luca Brasi, when Leia strangles Jabba in Return of the Jedi.

It seems like an extraordinarily weak connection. Sure, Lucas may have been involved in the Godfather, but I'm not going to accept the Jabba connection without any reference. Garrotting is not that unusual and specific a form of murder. --saforrest 05:35, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] flak jacket?

it has been a long time since i watched the godfather, but as i recall the fish was wrapped in luca's coat, not a flak jacket, it seems highly suspect that luca would wear a flak jacket

It was a bullet-proof vest.Jrm2007 12:47, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Luca Mocked as Weak??

Nowhere is this said in the book or film.Jrm2007 12:47, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

I agree. There is nothing to back this assertion and I have removed it from the article. It also seems a very unlikely claim to make given Brasi's violent history and his status as personal enforcer to the Don. Euryalus 06:49, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Source for DOB and exact DOD

We need a source for the date of birth, so for now, it will be removed. As for his DOD (date of death), we know it was in 1945 but as for the day, I am not too sure. Tom Hagen was going X-Mas shopping that day, therefore it must've been before X-Mas, since Don Corleone also says "Merry Christmas" to the fruit vendor just before he is shot, which was the same day of Luca's death. --Victor (talk) 09:32, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
