Star Wars Trivia Part 2

Post by Zul » Thu Sep 18, 2008 10:00 am

- Tatooine is a sparsely populated planet in a binary star system. The two suns are named Tatoo I and Tatoo II. The planet also happens to have three moons. Tatooine is named for the location at which 'Star Wars' was filmed in Tunisia, namely Tataouine.

- Peter Cushing was best known for appearing in British horror films produced by Hammer Films. Interestingly, he appeared in a couple dozen films with Christopher Lee, who would play Count Dooku (aka Darth Tyranus) in the later three 'Star Wars' episodes.

- Greedo is a Rodian from the planet Rodia. Amusingly enough, Greedo's dialogue is just his actual lines played backwards.

- After Luke is released by the snake-like creature in the garbage soup, loud creaking and cranking sounds begin to eminate from the inner machinery of the trash compactor. This prompts Han Solo to use the 'bad feeling' line, a line that is used in each of the 'Star Wars' films (first by Luke in this film).

- In 'Star Wars' incestuous moment number one, Leia gives Luke a gentle peck on the cheek, but claims it's 'for luck'. With added robustness, Luke holds Leia at his side and swings deftly across the shaft, making it cleanly to the other side

- Mention of Princess Leia occurs in the third paragraph of the prologue. Specifically, it reads:

'Pursued by the Empire's sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy....'

- The other droid, similar in appearance to C-3PO, walks with R2-D2 and C-3PO for a time, but then vanishes into an opening after a short while. Though fans of 'Star Wars' have desperately attempted to understand the fate of this misguided droid, its whereabouts are unknown.

- Interesting factoid: Did you know that Cindy Williams (of TV's 'Laverne and Shirley') was among those who auditioned for the part of Princess Leia?

- 2-1B helps Luke out near the beginning of the film when he almost freezes to death on Hoth and at the end of TESB.

- Tatooine gets the most footage of all of the planets in the "Star Wars" chronicles.

- Wedge was in just about all of the major attacks that involved fighter pilots.
