Captain REX
This is where we can all post random interesting background facts about names, scenes, characters, so on and so forth.

I'll kick it off with Commander Cody's name!

Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen was a band during the 70's that had a hit song called 'Hot Rod Lincoln.' Knowing Georgie, he probably liked this song, being the racer that he was back in the day. Also, the name of the band sounds a bit spacey, eh?

Gunship Pilot
Personally...I`d love to walk trought the kamino complex...don`t know why, but...that place has always intrigued me...

So does geonosis, and the second death star, since we`ve seen so little of it...

I`ve always thought that SW had weird and misterious places

Captain REX
Eh, not quite what I meant by interesting facts, but certainly meets random. wink

Ken Kenobi
Most know this, but there are probably some n00bs that don't know.

Ewan McGregor (Young Obi-Wan Kenobi - Prequel Trilogy) is the nephew of Denis Lawson (Wedge Antilles - Original Trilogy).

overlord
Darth Vader is Luke Skywalkers papa.

OK, then try this one:

Did you know that despite his three incredibly stupid performances in The Star Wars Holiday Special, Lucas brought back Harvey Korman to play a character in his film: Radioland Murders?

Tangible God
Did you also know that George Lucas has a ranch named Lucasland? That's where he invites all the little geeks and nerds who dress up in SW costumes every time a convention or movie opens, and molests their imaginations.

Star Wars has spaceships and the Force.

Adamwankenobi
Well, actually... the Star Wars canon does have its share of magic and wizards (as seen in the two Ewok films).

GCG
Jodie Foster was originally cast for Leia's part

Tangible God
Ewok films.

Jesus Christ, is that what Star Wars has been reduced to?

Captain REX
Wow, why did I bother posting this here? Stupid Ep3 forum...
