And it's the room where Indiana Jones discovers the Ark of the Covenant in "Raiders of the lost Ark".

Just to come back to the topic:

- one of the police cars from Blade Runner is shown in the traffic on coruscant in TPM (cut in because the Millenium Falcon is used as part of a building in Blade Runner)
- in AotC you can see three TIE fighters chasing an X-Wing through a trench in Coruscants traffic (when Obi-Wan and Anakin are chasing the headhunter).
- Anthony Daniels (C-3PO) can be seen without his costume in AotC. He's the man that turns around directly after Obi-Wan cut the arm of the headhuntress off.

Actually there is much of that stuff in any Lucasfilm production.

the original emperor is played by a woman!
seriously.

An old woman with monkey eyes and a completely different voice actor than Ian McDiarmid, no less.

The Origional casting for Chewbacca was Peter Mayhew without the costume, but they decided he was too scary

Um...actually, there was always going to be a costume. 😑

I know, i t was supposed to be a joke. Look at the guy.*shivers*

G. Luc. got the inspiration for Chewy from his dog.

He just needs a haircut. 😛

Actually, my Well of Souls comment WAS on-topic...

Hurray for Ush!

Meh, I have nothing interesting to provide...except for that Ahmed Best was in the Outlander with Anthony Daniels in AOTC, unmasked. As was Jeromy Bulloch, Boba Fett's masked actor, playing one of the personnel on Bail Organa's ship. I think he had a line too.

Oops. Sorry...

Bah, I know some porbably already known stuff, but whatever...

- The twin suns of Tatooine are actually a desert illisusion done by our own planet. Kinda like a mirage and Lucas filmed it. Though did you know that hypathetically, Two Suns could really exist around one planet? All in the Science of Star Wars speacial on Discovery.

- Liea was going to be the origianl main character of Star Wars and she would end up finding Luke, but then Lucas changed his mind and went with Luke instead. Though Luke's original last name was Starkiller and at one point Lucas had Han Solo with green skin.

That's all I got right now.

a mini millenium falcon was in the opening sequence of ep111 as well

Sidious is black.

lol

In on early script of Star Wars the Jedi Bondai (Or something along the lines of that.) Fought the Evil Sith Knights. Now aren't we all glad that Lucas made it seem less like a blatant rip-off of westerns and samurai flicks?

He did ?!?

Luke and Leia were origionally going to be midgets.

The wookies were originally from Yavin and they were tought how to fly x-wings, and they were the ones who originally blew up the death star.
And that is not a weak joke!

Well, theoreticaly. I mean the Jedi were less like Samurai, ands more like preechy, manipulative, hypocritical bastards. I like the Sith because they don't paper over their bloodlust with idiotic codes and tradition.
