"Star Wars" words not in the Original Trilogy.

Had a thought and realised that the following words are not mentioned anywhere in the OT. (And some aren't in the PT either):

Sith
Palpatine
Mandalorian
Tusken Raider
Correllia
Coruscant

Any more?

uh...are you sure that Palpatine and Tuskens arent mentioned? I could of swore that they were...but ill have to double check.

Midichloridian...
padawan

oh yea....Ewoks werent mentioned.

Dooku
Padme

Boba Fett (except yelled by Han over all the music and blaster fire in ROTJ; barely make it out))
Mon Mothma
Lobot
Nien Numb

- They say Sandpeople, not Tusken Raiders. The PT referes to them both ways.

AHHH..ok thanks...i guess I just had them mixed up. not to be "captain obvious" but since other people are saying characters...

Darth Maul, Qui-gon, Jango, watto, Shmi, Jar Jar (thank god), podracer, slave, Mustafar, clone troopers....I mean the list can just go on and on.

Jedi Council...ok...but yea, thanks for that clarification.

Revan, Exar Kun, Aayla Secura..this is way to easy dude.

A shame that this thread is getting WTFpwnd by idiots going 'Hey, I'll put PT stuff and other things that aren't even in the movies!'

The idea is things that were IN the OT that weren't named and such.

Duh.

For example, Coruscant wasn't mentioned. Nor was Han mentioned to be a Corellian. And so on.

A lot of vehicles are never refered to by name... for example: Slave One, Y-Wing, A-Wing etc... Sandcrawler.

Is Yavin ever mentioned by name?

Salacious Crum is another one...

I dunno if Yavin is mentioned...

Thank you! I was about to start sticking pins in my eyes because of the stupidity of some people!

Come to think of it, is "Tatooine" actually mentioned by name in the OT?

Yes, Luke discusses the rendezvous as "Tatooine" to Lando at the end of ESB

That Han isn't identified as a Corellian is true, but the original poster is wrong to say Corellia isn't mentioned, and indeed were it not for the brief use of the name in ANH the whole background for that world would never have been created.

The thing that is not mentioned that has the least need to be is Mandalorian, which has forever been an EU concept.

GL liked the name Coruscant better than his own name for the world (Had Abaddon) and so nabbed it between OT and PT.

'Sith' was in the original drafts and he always said that Vader was the Dark Lord of the Sith, but never explained wehat it meant. The EU picked it up as meaning something, and then GL pretty much changed that when the PT came out and he actually used the term on-screen.

This sort of thing happens a lot, though- for example, the name 'Mace Windu' wasn't mentioned in TPM at all.

Yea i was just being a smart ass, I know what you meant for the thread, thats why i put ewoks...i just put some PT stuff cause someone else did...oh well.

But i was serious about the slave one though...i figured they might being as wookies were supposed to be slaves of the empire, right? Or is that only EU?

When is Corellia mentioned in ANH?

"I've outrun Imperial starships. Not the local bulk-cruisers, mind you. I'm talking about the big Corellian ships now."

Just testing. Well spotted 😉
