Obi Wan had his own astromech droid in Episode II Attack of the Clones. It was called R4, it accompanied him to Kameno and Geonosis. Though as a jedi knight, the droid may have technically belonged to the Jedi Order and not Obi Wan specifically. So what he said was true. From a certain point of view.

I'm surprised that these facts aren't mentioned: "Star Wars is a movie." "Luke is a human." "Darth Vader has black armor." "The special editions suck." "The Death Star is in the shape of a circle." It's great that we moved from stating the obvious and having narrators that sound like they're going to hang themselves in boredom to actual facts and narrators that sound like they give a shit. Great job.

Technically. . . Han fired. Not 'fired first,' which implies that Greedo actually got a shot off before his guts boiled. Which was exactly what a guy like Han would do. . . it's why he's still alive. It also shows, unequivocally, what a jagoff Han was, which makes his transformation into General of the Rebellion even more meaningful. Both Leia and Obi-Wan set up the entire reason for Stormtroopers' bad aim. . . At the Jawa massacre, Obi-Wan says, 'These blast points, not made by Sand People. Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise.' Later, Leia reminds Han that they escaped too easy, they were allowed to escape.

HAN SHOT FIRST IS IN UNALTERED VERSION

@jackvanbrocklin44 3 ай бұрын

I agree with you @revdraco. I've been fighting this battle online for decades. Han DID NOT SHOOT FIRST. Because this would imply that Greedo shot. If anyone actually watches the first and the original (1977) version of Star Wars they would see that GL wanted to make Han a cold-blooded killer to set up his character arc.

They credited him anyways. How can you say it changed his career then turn around and say he wasn't credited. Correction # 3. Carey Fisher said That George Lucas told her there were no Bras in Outter Space not Breast. That doesn't make sense..[ Wow your facts are off.

Fact 68 is false, by the way.

Hmm, sensing a theme anyone? Oh, actually, there's also a couple more on Tattooine in episode 2 plus Anakin's mother in episode 1. BTW supporting characters are NOT the same thing as background characters.

People shit on the executive crew for their treatment of Prowse, but it was a two-way street. He was a fame-obsessed bodybuilding jerk that didn't follow the rules. This guy went around spoiling every movie detail he knew and acted like an entitled tool about it. He was so bad with secrets that they didn't even tell him the "I am your father" zinger, they fed him a different line during shooting while they told Mark the REAL line. Hell, he was SUCH a tool about it that Lucas formally banned him from attending official Star Wars events. So sure, the studio did some crappy things to the guy, but it's not like he was innocent.

One of the first chnges in this film happened in 1981. In 1977, the film opened with The Title Star Wars (as with all of the films) and then went into the opnening crawl. In 1981, The more famous Episode IV A New Hope was added. This was because Lucas was convinced that people watching the film would believe that they had missed the first 3 films. This is why most of us fans over the age 45 still refer to the first film as Star Wars while younger fans call it A New Hope.

21:30 sub-fact: 20th Century Fox had to strong-arm those 40 theatres into showing the film. You see, the film’s release date had been bumped up to avoid competition with summer blockbusters, and the theatres refused to show it on the new release date. 20th Century Fox ultimately threatened to disallow them the opportunity to show a film called “The Other Side of Midnight” (which was based on a popular novel and, unlike “Star Wars”, was projected to do well at the box office) if they refused to comply.

2 more facts I can add... -When putting together the production team and crew, the Star Wars project was described as 'A Western set in space' (I guy I used to work with turned it down lol. -Another place Lucas 'borrowed' heavily from for the Star Wars universe was Isaac Asimov's Foundation series, in particular the stuff about the Galactic Empire.

Also the original crawl didn't the A New Hope title or an Episode number until The Empire Strikes Back went into development and Lucas decided to complete the Trilogy. Also giving the first hints that this was the middle of a grander story.

Darth Vader's name came from the word "invader", as his first appearance in the movie is him invading the rebel's ship. It's just a coincidence that it means father in dutch.

They do know the name of the stormtrooper. There was an incident also, with the Sand Crawler, the neighboring country went on alert about a large military vehicle parked near their border, and Tunisia asked Lucas to move the Crawler, which they did.

When you talk about #39 the used future, the reason also why everything looked that way is cause the Empire had full control of the economy which they used to fund their military while other plants, the rebels had to use what they had to maintain their equipment. Now back in EP1, 2 and 3 the universe is way better off with their economy and before any war broke out which let them build new equipment and easily maintain that equipment.

That's story information, not real life information. The truth is Lucsas had a keen sense of aasthetics and new a used look would feel more natural.

Vater meaning father meant nothing. The original line for Vader was, “No, Obi Wan killed your father,” giving Obi Wan a villain side. So no, it was not planned, just a coincidence

I suggested that The Star War be filmed in 1972 to Steve Spielberg. Lucas just picked up the 1963 novella. Indiana/Indie was Spielberg's girlfriend who'd been to college in Indiana, Close starts at her house. I invented the "used future" not Lucas. He just liked my idea. Darth Vader = Dark Invader. O.B. Juan Kennoby was me. Han was based on me and Bill Clinton/Steve Spielberg. Jedi came from "Do you expect us to follow Jed in there?" (It was a reference to Jed Clampet of Beverly Hillbillies.) I turned to Spielberg's complaint to say, "We are Jedi!" 1 Jed, 2 Jedi (Latin). Raiders was Bill Clinton's Idea--it came from Arkansas Bob and the Alligators--a rip off of Jungle Jim from the 1950's TV. Lucas didn't write the story. Parts were Steve, I did a few bits, but Lucas' wife did a lot. I told Spielberg to use classical music, he wanted to use guitars. Lucas is not a genius, he's a usurper.

R4 was only an onboard astromech and did have a body (at least I presume, although not even R2's body would fit in the Jedi Starfighters in episode III).
