100 Facts about Star Wars

42. Ian McDiarmid did not play the emporor in ESB. The role was played by an old lady, with a monkey's face superimposed over it.

Yick.

Ian was added later with the DVD version.

Double-Yick.

43. "Wedge", actor Denis Lawson, is "Obi-Wan'" Ewan McGregor's uncle in real life.

44. Fans never see the famed Wedge Antillies without his helmet until the celebration at the end of Return of the Jedi, although actor Denis Lawson's voice was used to dub over another pilot's voice during the Death Star briefing in the original Star Wars.

While this pilot is referred to as 'Wedge' by continuity, it is most certainly not Denis Lawson.

45. In Attack of the Clones there is a scene where Anakin and Obi-Wan enter the Outlander Club. If you pay good attention you see two familiar figures. One (on the left) is Anthony Daniels who has played C-3PO in all the movies. The other one is Ahmed Best (below the next post) who played Jar Jar Binks.

46. While in production, ROTJ went by the title "Blue Harvest" to discourage spoiler interest in the film.

47 Anthony Daniel's had the first line in Episode 4 and the last line in Episode 3

48. Those lines occurred in the same location.

49. None of the Star Wars films have credits at the beginning of them. For Star Wars the Writers and Directors Guilds of America let it slide, but when Lucas did the same thing for Empire Strikes Back the DGA fined Lucas more than a quarter of a million dollars and tried to pull Empire from theatres. Because of this Lucas pulled out of the Guilds and it stopped Lucas from hiring his first choice of director for Return of the Jedi: Stephen Spielberg.

50. George Lucas, Ian McDiramid, Peter Mayhew, and Frank Oz were all born in 1944.

51. In TPM, Qui-Gon Jinn's communicator is a redecorated Sensor Excel Razor for Women.

52. There has been a star wars film released in 4 different decades.

53. Savvy sounds

When Lucas started planning ANH in 1975, he asked a young sound designer and Allegheny College grad named Ben Burtt to find real noises and sounds that would work in the movie.

Among his marriage of image and sound:

1 Lightsaber sounds were a combo of the hum from the back of an old TV set and an old 35mm movie projector
2 Luke Skywalker's landspeeder noise is actually traffic on the Harbor Freeway in Los Angeles, as heard through a vacuum-cleaner pipe.
3 In ROTS, bubbling, moving lava can be either a macaroni casserole being squished or a wet towel rubbed in mud.

34. After the first Death Star has been destroyed, at the end of 'A New Hope' and the rebel pilots touch down back at base, listen carefully as Luke climbs down from his X-Wing and rushes to embrace Leia - he is so excited he actually calls her 'Carrie'!

This is a common misconception, if you listen he just says 'Hey'
