Little known Star Wars Facts

Ours are better,

But this will haunt my dreams:

From Luke Skywalker's introduction in A New Hope (as a simple farm boy gazing into the Tatooine sunset), to his eventual transformation into the radicalized insurgent of Return of the Jedi (as one who sets his own father’s corpse on fire and celebrates the successful bombing of the Death Star)...

...and let's not forget engaging in cannibalism with teddy bears. I mean, they were going to eat Luke and the gang at first and they were playing instruments made of stormtrooper helmets. What do you think they were feasting on during the Yub Nub Song?
 
Little known Star Wars fact: Wookiees do not, in fact, exist. The existence of the species is a prank. Each Wookiee is, in fact, a dozen Jawas standing in a pyramid under a discarded carpet.
 
31) Brian Blessed demanded he have final say on every shot of Boss Nass and would keep the crew working late into the night adding more slobber.
 
33) Mistakenly thinking she was auditioning for Star Trek, Daisy Ridley showed up for her first audition in a pair of Vulcan ears. When JJ told her it was Star Wars she replaced them with a pair of Princess Leia ear muffs that she carried with her at all times. JJ told her to come to the next audition "with nothing on her head" so she shaved her head completely bald. She got the part but production was delayed for ten months while her hair grew back.

34) In the original script for The Force Awakens, Slave One appeared in place of the Millennium Falcon. JJ really wanted to use the "iconic" Slave One but ironically it was the only part of Star Wars George Lucas retained the rights to because as he put it "even I'm not stupid enough to give Slave One Away!" Han's line "Chewie, we're home" was originally "Chewie, we're on Slave One the ship previously owned by Boba Fett and his father Jango before him." Abrams eventually gave in and put the Falcon in its place, but to this day insists "the movie would have been a lot better with Slave One in there."
 
Boba Fett's wife had a little cupcake shop in Mos Eisley until she got in trouble for refusing to serve 'droids. Younger people probably won't remember her, but Tammy Fett, Baker was big news back around the time of the original trilogy.
 
36) George Lucas created the character of Ahsoka Tano after he was beaten up by a fourteen year old girl.

37) The "mouse droid" didn't actually have any mice inside of it, of course, just two kittens.
 
38) As a music student, Max Rebo jumped through space and time to study at RISD (the Rhode Island School of Design) in the early 1970s. There he became friends with the members of Talking Heads, and joined an early incarnation of the band after graduation, traveling to New York and making their debut at CBGBs. Max was soon kicked out in a clash of egos with frontman David Byrne, but he soon landed in the group Blondie as a keyboardist. His tenure there was also short-lived thanks to a jealous tug-of-war with guitarist Chris Stein over the affections of Debbie Harry. A few nights later, Joey Ramone saw Max sitting alone at the bar, and asked him to don a black shag wig and join his band. Max played for a few nights as Clarice Ramone, but he realized his heart was no longer in the New York post-punk scene. He decided to return to his own time, where he was content to play the progressive music of his childhood as the leader of a house band of a local cantina. Very few know of Max's role in the death of disco, and those who do aren't convinced that it was the drugs they were taking, and not really a plump blue creature playing by their side.
 
40) The Galactic Empire didn't actually construct the Death Star. They stole it. Off Q's Christmas tree. (That's why they lost.)
 
He just wanted to see what us talking monkeys would do with just a taste of the power of the Q.

And the Sith showed him.

No wonder he had a big ol' throbbing hard-on to keep Picard & Co. locked in just one star system after that.
