More disturbingly, it was not the kind blunder, it would become later. He was in fact a kind of despot, reprimanding his friend C-3PO with insults like: "You are one without spirit, useless philosopher," and "you are nothing more than a lively mind low, intellectual Brained the emotion .

At the beginning of the meetings of history, the writer-directorGeorge Lucas considered an end forReturn of the Jedi which was a lot, much darker. As he launched co-screenwriterLawrence Kasdan"Luke takes his mask off. The mask is the last thing and then Luc puts on and said, "Now, I'm Vader. Surprise! The final twist.

Kasdan loved the idea, said his boss: "That's what I think should happen. But Lucas finally decided to go in a different way, feeling like Luke goes wrong was a little too dark since her frankness "is for children. »

PoE Dameron (Oscar Isaac) Go against General of Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher) Orders inThe last JediBut not without consequence.Isaac revealed in an interview withStephen ColbertThat the scene in which Leia Poe was a difficult retrograde to get right, leading to the actress slap the star more than 40 times. What a honor.

Most people believe that the legendary Boba Fett bonus hunter appeared in 1980The Empire Counter-Attack. But hardcore fans know that what happened earlier, in the very decriedSTAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL In 1978 and they would be bad too. His story goes back a little further.

The first time someone egoes on Boba Fett was September 24, 1978 at the Country Fair San Anselmo parade in California. The inhabitants of the city were just lucky enough to get a look in advance what would become one of theStars wars"The most beloved bad guys because they shared a postal code with 52 Park Way, Lucasfilm's original headquarters.

DUWAYNE DUNHAM, A movie publisher for Lucas Assistant who wore the costume, saysin an interviewHe and a dressed guy from Dark Vader "were at the front of the parade." "We mentions everything.

By making amaintenance BBCThe Graham Norton show,Samuel L. Jackson insisted that he still owned the purple lightsaber that his character, Mace Windu, used in pretty epic battles in theStars wars Prequels. But the most shocking revelation? What Jackson claimed was engraved on his laser sword, which is not suitable for young children.

Any long-standing follower of Jackson's career could probably guess, however. As you can remember, back in 1994, Jackson appeared inQuentin Tarantino's pulp FictionWhere he played an illuminated Hitman named Jules Winnfield whose wallet is embroidered with the same words.

When we think of Darth Vader, the first name that comes to my mind isJames Earl Jones, the voice behind the most infamous naughty of the series. But the costume man was quite different, a British bodybuilder namedDavid proves. And apparently not one of Lucas's favorite people.

As the prove revealed on its website (which has since been detained since), all the "events associated with Lucasfilm", which includes the conventions and othersStars wars Celebrations. When he held out his hand for an explanation,Prowse said he had been said "That I have" burned too many bridges between Lucasfilm and myself "- no other reason." Lucas refused to elaborate, but rumors abound from the fault, with great believing that the bow was a little vocal of his dissatisfaction in the learning of another actor,Shaw Sebastian, would be used for the disengaged Vador scene.

According toMatthew Wood, sound editor onThe rise of skywalker, the changes made to the script arrived so late that he had to go to the house ofADAM driver, who playedVILLAIN KYLO REN Throughout the last trilogy, to save it with some new lines needed in a rather low technology location. "I ended up opening one of his cupboards where he had all his costumes and I just pushed the costumes away from the road and I said," Hangs your head here "," said Wood on theSound workPodcast collection, per week.

To create the Taoine Desert Planet, Lucas found the ideal setting in Tunisia. What he did not explain is how even a small film production could lead to sociopolitical tensions. Tunisia shares a border with Libya, which at the time was led by the dictatorMuammar gadhafi. In the Tunisian government receivedThreats of Gaddafi, warning that a conflict was inevitable if he did not withdraw a military vehicle from the Libyan border.

The "military vehicle" in question was actually a Sandcrawler Jawa. Lucas agreed to move the accessory because, well, inciting an international incident is not a great way to make a movie known.

Compared to snowy tundras and sterile desertsStars wars Cast and Crew had to bear, turning in the northern sequoia forests of California, to create the Endor Forest Moon forReturn of the Jedi, Must have been a cakewalk. Except for the actorPeter Mayhew, who played ChewBacca. During the session of several months, he had to be constantly hubricated by bodyguards in light vests, to protect him from hunters. This is because, in costume, Mayhew could have been easily wrong for a bear.

But more hilariously, the bodyguards had to protect the actor of people looking for the forest for Bigfoot-Yes,this Bigfoot, the mythical creature and similar to the monkey who has rumped to hide somewhere in the northwestern Pacific. We could be inclined to believe that it was just another big tale, but Mayhew really reallyconfirmed the story on reddit.

The great actorSir Alec GuinnessUsed to play Shakespeare before signing to play Obi-Wan Kenobi. And, according to many testimonies, he hated that. In a letter to friends, obtained byMashable, Guinness complained that "new me reaches garbage dialogue every day on the pink paper salaries and nothing of this makes my character clear or even bearable. »

In addition, in a shared anecdote in his autobiography,Positively final appearance, Guinness reminds a young fan who asked for an autograph and said he had seenStars wars A hundred times. He agreed to give the child an autograph, but only if he never looked at the movie again. "He bursted in tears", writes Guinness. "I hope the young man, now thirty years, does not live in a fantastic world of second hand, childish banalities. »

George Lucas is good friends withFrancis Ford Coppolaand worked onThe Godfather. You can see the influence of this movie in some different aspects ofStars wars, Starting with the working relationship, which has an organized flavor of Han and Jabba's crime. But perhaps the most evocative visual reference to the classic of the mafia is inReturn of the Jedi, When Leia strangles Jabba with his chain. This reflects theDeath of Luca Brasi (Lenny Montana) -A connection that has been very deliberate, according to the official star of the stars.

As Lucas's daughter's request, he invited members of theBoys Band * NSYNC to make a brief appearance in the prequelClone attackA pause of their 2001 Popodyssey tour.

Bass launcher andJustin Timberlake chose to pass the opportunity, but the rest of the band agreed to be adapted as the Jedi Knights. They even took part in a real battle, the fight against droids in the culminating battle Geonosis.Joey Fatone remembered That the only direction they received was "pretending as if you were discharged. Unfortunately, we will never know if they were convincing Jedi their scenes were cut off from the final assembly.

Go Rewatch The movie if you do not believe us! Not once in allReturn of the JediSomeone says "Ewok. »The name is usedin the scriptDidascalia -a said, "A little strange plush face with huge black eyes comes slowly in sight. The creature is an ewok, by the counter name, "but that's all!

So, how do we all walk on the theaters knowing that these creatures have been called Ewoks? The toys of the time confirmed the name, but it is certain that not everyone seems spoke ewok long before we bought the toys. (Someone solve this mystery before we lose our minds!)

All these adorable porgs who move poor chewbaccaThe last Jedi were not part of the script. They were an addition of last minute by the directorRian Johnson When he learned that their filming place, the Irish Island of Skellig Michael, is filled with hundreds of very friendly (and not to all the timid) macarous camera.

As a creature designer conceptJake Lunt Davies Explainin an interviewThey decided to find a positive solution for what could have been expensive. "You can not delete them," Davies said macarous. "You physically can not get rid of them. And removing them numerically is a problem and a lot of work, so we'll just ride with it, play with it. So I think he thought, "Well, that's great, have our own native species. »

Although the number of flashes varies depending on who you are asking for Darth Maul's hen flesh, the crapful eye is a characteristic of its character. Apparently, theRed contact lenses carried by the actorParkmade it difficult and painful to flash, but it was also decided that it was a useful character. An example fans of Star Wars agree on is that Darth Maul briefly his eyes closes just after he chopped in half by Obi-Wan.

When a wookie grows, it sounds like something both familiar and quite unique. This is the exploit of sound designerBen Burtt, Who had to come with a voice for ChewBacca which was not only a recording of an angry bear.

"[ChewBacca] does not have the articulated lips," BurttOnce recalled. "It could fundamentally open and close his mouth. So you must also create a sound that would be credible coming from a mouth that has been exploited as his own." BURTT ended by mixing the screams and roars of two different creatures, including badgers, lions, seals and even a Morse from Long Beach, California. This below became so emblematic that there is evenYouTube tutorials, who attracted millions of views, where you can get a step-by-step guide on how to speak as a hairdresser.

Among the many actresses who auditioned to play Princess LeiaA new hope wasLavante & ShirleyStar,Cindy Williams. Videos of his audition survived and did it on YouTube-Williams, who had already worked withGeorge Lucas toAmerican graffiti, Read an early version of a scene between Han and Leia regarding the R2 information carrying and the reward that is due. Decades later, in an interview with television television, the actress recalled the dialogue"Can not say" and rented Fisher as the only choice for the rebellious princess.

Some of the most futuristic accessories of theStars wars The films were created with very unusual materials. Like Luke Skywalker's LightSaber, who was really only the handle of a vintage flash camera, or the mouthpiece of the medical droid inEmpire hits, who was only a microphone of the old school.

But our favorite cock of the trickery is inThe ghost threat. You may not have examined the communicators used by whom Gon Jinn twice (Liam Neeson) and Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) But if you did it, you may have noticed that they are fashioned exactly like a Gillette razor. It's because they are! Not literally, of course, but they were createdof the melting of the resin Gillette Excel Razor ladies' sensor.

The true face of anyone has been wrapped as much mystery and anticipation as Dark Vador. For seven years, the whole universe wondered: "What does it look like? How horrible it's it?" Lucas knew that when the mask is finally extinguishedReturn of the JediHe had to pack a Wallop. So he briefly envisaged to find someone famous, perhaps a legendary British scene actor asLaurence Olivier WhereJohn Gielgud (With a small makeup, of course) to stay for Vader.

But, according toStar Wars Manufacturing: Return of Jedi, Lucas quickly nixed this idea, fearing to distract people from history and that they "did not take it seriously," in his words. But we can always imagine the dramatic show that Olivier would have delivered as Dark Vader dying. How could it benotto be Oscar-Digne?

In 1979, Fisher rented a town house in London of Monty Python MemberEric Oilwhere she stayed while turningThe Empire Counter-Attack,She wrote in a try forNewsweek in 1999.

One night, in slow motion visited after the return of Tunisia, where he and the other members of Python had filmedBrian life. "He brought that drink that he said they gave the extras so they worked longer," wrote Fisher. "I called him the Tunisian table cleaner."Harrison Ford Order, as well as the rolling stones, which recorded the block. "We had a call really early in the morning the next day, but you have to measure the pleasure," Fisher explained. "Rolling Stones, or early call? And we decided both."

After partying all night with the stones, Ford and Fisher arrived for the morning sequence without sleep. The first scene of the day? The city of clouds with Lando. It was their first meeting withBilly Dee WilliamsAnd, as you will notice in the movie, Han and Leia are all smiles. Well, who would not it be after a very harmful with the stones?

If you have always wondered if Han Solo as a child was as cool effortlessly that the adult version, we almost had the chance to know in aRevenge of the Sith scene. As a concept artistIAIN MCCAIG explained in theRevenge of the Sith The art of the book, a young solo, being high chewbacca, was briefly considered and even sketched in illustrations.

According to McCaig, Little Han was "an absolute slob". He even had a line in the original script: "I found some of a droid transmitter near the bay is. I think it always sends and receive signals." Not too breaking the earth, granted, but always a little surprising because this line would have been pronounced in Yoda, which would mark the first andalone exchange between the twoStars wars characters. Later, the film prequelSolowould fill part of the young adult han background.

Just about all children who have seenEmpire In theaters, the same thought: "I wonder what Boba Fett looks like this mask." Well, do not blow your mind, but his real cup is in the movie! It was right there in the unobstructed view, without the mask and no one realized!

You can be forgiven not to notice, because you would need knowledge in the knowledge of production to find out what you see. AsJeremy Bulloch, who plays Boba Fett, explained inAn interview of 2000"One day, I was sitting in Boba Fett's outfit, and I was asked if I wanted to play this imperial officer because there was no one to play the game." The role in question was Lieutenant Sheckil, a character who did not even have a name yet. His scene, Bulloch said: "In the city of clouds where Princess Leia says" Luke, it's a trap, "I was dragging. Moments earlier, you see me as Boba Fett pulling atMark Hamill. "A scene, and we had a glimpse of Boba with the mask and without it - and we did not even realize!

MoreStars wars The fanatics already know that the full name of Yoda, at least in the original script, was "Minch Yoda", before being shortened a little easier from the tongue.

But here is a fun fact that could surprise you: in the stages very early in writingThe Empire Counter-AttackThe original name of Yoda was-about Brace-Buffy. Yes, Buffy, a name that usually associates with tubes of vampires genuine teenagers. The world would have been a very different place if Yoda had already received this very non-yoda name.

The small Polynesian island of Niue, 1,500 miles from the neo-Zealand coast, might not be a galaxy far away, far, but, according to theLos Angeles TimesThis is the only place on this planet where you can pay goods and services using collecting coins with Luke Skywalker, C-3PO and othersStars wars characters.

The pieces they accept are not only old Stars wars cash. They must come from the New Zealand Mint-and they all include a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the side rock. In addition, each piece is sold for about $ 20, but they have only a nominal value of 80 cents. So, if you actually use Stars wars Coins to buy anything, you are a greater suction cup than Lando doing a deal with Darth Vader.
