Stress Reliever: Star Wars Trivia!

The_Light_Sider

In case anyone was stressed due to work, college, or their daily lives, I thought that it would be relaxing to share interesting star wars trivia.
For example, did you know that the Jabba the Hutt scene featured in A New Hope (the 1997 and 2004 versions) was filmed at the making of the movie, which depicted Jabba as a human male in a fur coat, though was cut due to time constraints and not moving the plot forward? (But was rereleased later for the future DVD editions?)

Did you know that the rancor was supposed to be a man in a suit, a technique popularized by Eli Tsuburaya's work on Godzilla and Ultraman.

Did you know that the original jabba was constructed of trash bags glued over a frame to save budget? He ended up being much more elaborate on the final build, going as far as having radio controlled pupils and eyelids with a "little person" inside the tail to create the movement.

Did you know the cgi jabba they added in the special edition of a new hope (over the deleted scene) looks like hot garbage?

Yes. Did you know there are several versions of this "hot garbage"? They changed it for the dvd release, and again for the blue ray.

Did you know that many Bothans died to bring you this trivia?

No Bothans were harmed in the making of this thread.

Did you know that George Lucas isn't a visionary genius who had the whole OT planned out, let alone the whole 6 movie saga?

Did you know Luke and Leia were never intended to be brother and sister, that instead they were supposed to be a part of a love triangle with Han, and that the only reason Lucas decided to make them related is because he needed some kind of plot device to make Luke lose his temper during his ROTJ duel with Vader in the Emperor's Throne Room and George could not think of anything else?








Did you know that it was a much better story when they weren't related, that the story is much more compelling when the hero can still become a powerful space wizard and save the day even if he does lose the princess to the older, stronger, richer, better-looking bad boy with the souped-up space hot rod?

Did you know that FN-2187 (Finn) is not just a random designated number, but it's rather a reference to Princess Leia's cell number 2187, which in itself is a reference to the movie 21-87?

21-87 ends with the line: "Someone walks up and you say 'your number is 21-87, isn't it?' Boy, does that person really smile"

Did you know that deleted scenes from Revenge of the Sith included Yoda arriving on Dagobah, the kidnapping of Shaak Ti, and Padme's meeting with Mon Mothma? The eight scenes are available to watch to the public, as filming for them was complete.

Did you know that this trooper hitting his head was left in the film?



And then embellished with a metallic thud in the new versions?

There is a nod to this in the prequels when jango is leaving his ship and also hits his head. Its a jango/clone thing i guess.
