Hi guys!
Welcome back to another !
Last week, I had a theme of action movies. This week, I decided to expand on that and make all the facts about Star Wars! As one of the biggest franchises, there's always something new to learn. So let's get into it!
1.) It took three hours to film the opening crawl as it was made using practical effects, as technology was very different back then.
2.) Luke Skywalker's lightsaber was supposed to be blue, but the color didn't show up too well, so it was changed to green!
3.) The reveal of Darth Vader being Luke Skywalker's dad was kept a secret from everyone except George Lucas and a couple of others.
4.) Harrison Ford got the role of Han Solo by accident. George Lucas wanted someone unknown, but gave it to Ford. Han Solo was also supposed to die as Ford thought after two movies, there was nothing else for his character. George Lucas refused, though.
5.) The series almost ended with Luke Skywalker becoming "the next Vader". However, Lucas then decided he wanted a happy ending. I know I'm glad that wasn't the ending they stuck with!
