Actually the title was originally return of the Jedi but gary kursher thought the tile was weak. The title was then changed to revenge of the Jedi. The title was changed back to return of the Jedi because a jedi doesn't take revenge. Source: Empire of Dreams
Crystal Stover there’s a fact after that one where he talks about “revenge” being used for promo material and he says “he went back to the original name” implying he knew that but ignored it 2 facts back
I would have loved to have seen the original version of revenge. There was too many cut in the movie from the middle to the end. Scenes from these would jump across the screen
+David Maglioli I love how this little tidbit sparked an entire lore behind it stating that Luke designed his own lightsaber in respect to Yoda, his late mentor, as opposed to Anakin's being handed down to him. Adding a bit of spirituality to Luke since not only is green representing the force specializing vs the blue lightsaber wielders who specialize in sword fighting. All of this thanks to a production fear.
The "Blue Harvest," fake production title wasn't just to avoid attracting crowds, it was primarily so the production wouldn't be price-gouged by vendors. If all the contractors and local vendors in and around the shooting locations, outside the studio, knew it was the third Star Wars movie, they could jack up the prices of their services. And there wouldn't be a THING Lucasfilm could do about it, once the information was out. They still do it now, Rian Johnson used, "Space Bear," whenever they shot scenes outside the studio, on location. If he used, "Star Wars episode 8!" everything would have cost them massive amounts more.
+vinaloi41 There are plenty of examples of tribal people leaving their primitive settings and learning how to adapt to the modern world. Lucas just wanted to cash in on the teddy bear merch.
Originally Wookies were the creatures on Endor. But go back in time to 1976 and none of this was yet released or a success. There was a giant possibility the film would fail and the second and third films never see light. This is primarily why Ep 4 feels like a condensed version of the trilogy. Mr. Lucas liked the Wookie so much he re-wrote the script for 4, the original co-pilot of the Falcon was scrapped and he made the co-pilot a Wookie. If the film had failed and he had not done this, no one today would know what a Wookie is. When the film was a success, and a few years later faced with the dilemma of Endor Wookies, the simplest solution was to cut them in half and make them more primitive. The Ewok, for better or worse, was born. And that is what Mr. Lucas said himself in a video interview with Leonard Maltin back in the early 1990s before the Special Edition version was released.
George Lucas made Wookies into Ewoks because of the Kenner action figues. I was a kid back then. We all already had Chewy, some of us were onto our second lot of figures cos the originals had been lost or set of fire or whatever. Then suddenly there's these cute little teddy figures, four or five in different sizes & colours with little spears & these headscarf things you could remove & Luke & Leia in their forest camo fatigues, you had to have Luke & Leia in forest camo fatigues & if you didn't have a speeder that broke into bits when you pressed the button disguised as a utility pack you were an asshole tbh... It was a marketing ploy & boy did we fall for it.
#108, that black pod Vader sat in is where he'd force choke a chicken. Sadly it was only after filming wrapped that he discovered Slave Girl Leia was his daughter. There was a great disturbance of guilt and shame in the Force.
A few corrections and additions: Richard Marquand DID appear on screen as an ATST driver, in the scene where Chewie pulls out one of the pilots, the other on IS Marquand There is no sneaker in the asteroid sequence, there is a potato... the sneaker appears in the final space battle In an earlier version the Falcon fails to escape the Death Star, but test audiences protested, so despite Han Solo's foreshadowing, the Falcon survided The original 1:1 Falcon however got destroyed in a fire, thats why a dismal matte painting was used in the rebel hangar
I have a fan theory. R2-D2 is the first droid force-user. It explains how Artoo *always* survives. How he and Threepio were able to cross the hallway during the firefight opening Ep. IV without being blasted to scrap, for example. Why the red "R2 unit has a bad motivator, look!" Or, "I've lost Artoo!" but here he still is. He has a long history of association with the Jedi, and, while Threepio is mind-wiped on occasion, we never hear of Artoo being mind-wiped. Matter of fact, in the Clone Wars animated, they mention that he has never been mind-wiped. Did a story arc based on it. He's also a mechanic, tool-user and part-builder. . . who designed, built, and 'infected' himself with 'nanochlorians.' Threepio is his unknowing apprentice. . . which is how he survives being dismantled so many times. The chrome leg and the red arm are droid analogs for Luke's bionic hand, Vader's arms and legs, etc.
+Teh Black Ninja Productions Well, what about the original release of the 5th movie? It might not have been said in that movie. I think that's what Cinematic meant.
I only TRULY like the ending of episode 2, every thing without love in episode 3 most of episode 4 except for the planning scenes, all of 5 besides the asteroid scenes, and the star and end of episode 6.
This was always my favorite Star Wars movie of all time...I have no idea why anyone considers this one the "weakest" of the originals at all. To me, Episode IV was too much "Point A to Point B," and Episode V was all filler...Sure Episode VI had the ewoks, but seriously? That's the best argument people can come up with? That's the same kind of immaturity that led to panning the prequels just for using more computer effects over practical effects. I just don't understand the argument. This movie had everything, and was full of action right from the get-go. Plus it had the best climax of any of the films to date. What did they do wrong?
+Maverick Hunter Zero It is my favorite also but, i can see how it is the "weakest" of the originals. the ewoks are kinda stupid. the original idea of wookies would've been much better. the second death star was kind of a lazy plot point. luke and leia being siblings was a little lazy too. kind of out of nowhere, it obviously wasnt planned before. boba fett's death is kind of dumb. but, no biggie that's about it. other than that it is pretty solid. and is my favorite star wars movie. in the sense that i enjoy watching it the most but, i recognize how it is not as well written. i think it has the best lightsaber fight in any star wars movie (accounting for story/choreography/music etc). and the best space battle in any movie (not even just star wars). even just the choreography is better than anything in the prequels. i don't know how the prequels failed so hard with the space battles when they did indeed make better choreographed lightsaber battles. i also was far more creative with the amount of different non-human characters. something the previous 2 lacked to some degree.
Grim jaja they are better choreographed (which is actually debatable. because they look sooo choreographed. making them look more like a dance than a fight). but, the only one with substance behind it is anakin vs obi wan. the others are just enemies in a war. fighting.
you missed one, i think. in the imperial fleet, the pride of tarlandia, which was a command ship, was destroyed by blue and green squadron, which was mainly b-wings. it was originally gonna be a scene in the movie, but because of how thin the wings of the b-wing were, it was hard to shoot, and all scenes with the b-wing were cut from the movie. thats why the b-wing is only seen during the beginning and end of the whole battle.
It was Warwick Davis' mum who pushed for him to join the film, they stated auditions were closed. It was only when found out his height and thought he would fit in as a younger ewok
He changed the color of the light saber due to the background (sky) being blue and the blue sabre blended into the scene, so it became green to stand out against the sky.
Technically the Death Star would be a lot more feasable because in Star Wars with so many planets there would be a lot greater access to necessary materials
"Revenge of the Jedi" is all over The Goldberg show (until the episode about Return of the Jedi). Also, I never realized that the Death Star II was bigger than the original :P
Ok, couldn't help noticing one huge error on Fact #47. It's actually pronounced Tah-Gah-Log not Tag-a-log. (I cringe whenever I hear "Tag-a-log" no offence guys :P)
Fact 1 is wrong, lucas dropped out from the dga cause it man dated that you had to open up with credits, but lucas wanted to have the star wars crawl first, so he dropped out to preserve his vision
Not sure about 7 but I think that in the very early stages it was "return", but everyone thought it was too weak, to it was changed to "Revenge". Then that was changed back because Lucas thought Jedi don't have revenge.
On fact #7, it is actually reversed and was not Lawrence Kasdan. If you watch the "Empire of Dreams: The Story of the Star Wars Saga" at about two hours and one minute into it, George Lucas told Howard Kazanjian that the title for Episode VI, was "Return of the Jedi," and Howard thought it was a weak title, and it was about a day or two days later, that George came back and said it was being called "Revenge of the Jedi." Of course about a few weeks before the movie was set to be released George told Howard that he wanted to go back to using "Return of the Jedi" because he felt the logic behind it was that a Jedi does seek revenge.
+Wario64I I felt as if millions of voices cried out in sadness, while simultaneously having a huge pang in their heart, as if they lost a friend, first.
Finally confirmed, Endor was filmed in British Columbia, NOW I KNOW WHY ENDOR LOOKS LIKE MY BACKYARD IN BATTLEFRONT. God damn, if Ewoks we're fucking bears I'd have 5 of them.
"The sound of Jabba the Hutt's slithery moves was created by soundman Ben Burtt running his hands through a cheese casserole." I don't know why hearing that makes me laugh so much. Maybe it's just how the person reading the facts says that line as though running your hands through a cheese casserole is something you would do every day, just because.
Also, the "green lightsaber" was changed from blue, because of it blending with blue sky. Also the line "It's a trap!" was first said by Leia in Empire, when Luke showed up. She screams, "Luke, it's a trap!"
Mine ranked from best to worst is 1. A new hope 2. Force awakens 3. Empire strikes back 4. Revenge of the sith 5.return of the Jedi 6. Attack of the clones 7. Phantom menace
I love them all, but here's my two cents: 1. Return of the Jedi 2. Empire Strikes Back 3. The Force Awakens 4. Revenge of the Sith 5. Star Wars (I refuse to call it A New Hope) 6. Phantom Menace 7. Attack of the Clones
+TheGCritic Why wouldn't you call it A New Hope?! That makes no sense! Sure it was originally wasn't called that, but it makes more sense to give it a name, rather than just Star Wars. Besides, if you're hating it because it was called that in the Special Edition, you shouldn't because it actually was first given that name a little while after Empire was released, when the two were rereleased simultaneously.
Jabbas Sail barge scene was filmed in Butter Cup Valley California not Arizona and here's a fact for you, George couldn't afford to take down the set so instead of taking it away they rented tractors and buried it in big holes.
+Arnav Ranade in my opinion (best to worst): 4 A New Hope 5 Empire Strikes Back 7 The Force Awakens 6 Return of the Jedi 3 Revenge of the Sith 1 The Phantom Menace ( it had good lego levels okay) 2 Attack of the Clones
Let's all take a moment to not rank the Star Wars movies, and just enjoy the fact that they all have something good about them. Except Episode 2. Fuck that movie.
Died laughing when I heard klatu barda nicto. Now I know where Army of Darkness got it and its hilarious to think of Bruce saying it probably knowing full well it was a Star Wars reference. You learn something new everyday
Fact 81: Even if it is true to that Vader didn't Force Choke anyone in the movie there was going to be a scene with Vader going to the Emperor, Moff Jejjerod (the guy who Vader complains to that the Construction of Death Star II was falling behind and when he tells him that the Emeror was going to come, the Moff promised Vader that the crew would double their efforts) and two Imperial Royal Guards deny him access to the elevator which leaded up to the throne room but then Vader Force Chokes Jejjerod to which he gives Vader access. This was cut from the film, most likely of time issues and wasn't necessary for the story.
Except that the species of the pictured thugs is Weequay: so named for Melville's Queequeg. Another species of Jabba's thugs are called Nikto as well, and another are called Klatooinians, and yet another are called Baradans.
Another interesting factoid going along with the whole "Luke's Girlfriend" Thing, by the way...Supposedly, one of the edits George made to EpVI has Mara Jade herself appearing in Jabba's palace as one of the "slave" girls...Apparently Lucas actually acknowledged certain elements of the EU.
How I'd rank the Star Wars films! 1. Return of the Jedi 2. Revenge of the Sith 3. The Force Awakens 4. Empire Strikes Back 5. A New Hope 6. The Phantom Menace 7. Attack of the Clones
Actually the title was originally return of the Jedi but gary kursher thought the tile was weak. The title was then changed to revenge of the Jedi. The title was changed back to return of the Jedi because a jedi doesn't take revenge.

Luke's lightsaber was green because Lucas feared the blue wouldn't show up well against the blue sky on Tatooine.

Adding a bit of spirituality to Luke since not only is green representing the force specializing vs the blue lightsaber wielders who specialize in sword fighting. All of this thanks to a production fear.
He later made up that Jedi Knights use green instead of blue. Like Yoda.
They said that he used obi-wan's design with a green kyber crystal.
Samuel l Jackson wanted a purple lightsaber to stand out but then a whole lore was made behind the purple lightsaber meaning
Thats part of it but they were also correct

There’s a Legends novel called “Red Harvest” about a bunch of Sith Zombies that a Jedi has to stop.
BTW nice profile pic.
I love Return of the Jedi more than I love Empire. I know, it's an unpopular opinion, but I have to be true to my heart.
same here ROTJ is alot more fun, colorful and fast pased compared to empire
If you fast forward to the parts where the Ewoks start winning, it’s not as dark as Empire and pushes the pace
I 2nd that ... ; )
Same
@@jamesdombroski2001
That doesn't mean the entire movie is bad nor does a film simply being darker make it better.
George Lucas said he made Ewoks because it would make no sense for Wookies to be tribal if Chewbacca could fly a space ship.
That actually makes a lot of sense.
+vinaloi41 There are plenty of examples of tribal people leaving their primitive settings and learning how to adapt to the modern world. Lucas just wanted to cash in on the teddy bear merch.

They had the Ewok costume feet custom fitted for the actors inside?
Too bad they couldn't spring enough cash to do the same for Peter Cushing's boots!
🤣🍻
"Lucas was 've-HIM-ently against it??" Lemme guess, the narrator had only seen the word "vehemently" in print prior to this...
I'd also never heard it pronounced like that.
Isn't #80 incorrect? I'm sure the Emperor says to Darth Vader that Luke is the offspring of Anakin Skywalker in Episode V.
+Teh Black Ninja Productions Well, what about the original release of the 5th movie? It might not have been said in that movie. I think that's what Cinematic meant.
MagicDolphin I just watched the despecialized version of that episode and you're right.
I might be wrong but isn't Anakin mentioned in IV?
rpandya97 Nope, the only person that would've mentioned him (by name) is Obi-wan, and he doesn't.
you are right
i love all star wars movies, even the prequels
+Joshua Bayer I can see that.
well thats not... accurate
+Gavin Hebert its his opinion
you spelled especially wrong
I only TRULY like the ending of episode 2, every thing without love in episode 3 most of episode 4 except for the planning scenes, all of 5 besides the asteroid scenes, and the star and end of episode 6.
an eleven year old dwarf, how on earth did they know he was a dwarf!
His more oddly misproportioned body when compared to other eleven years olds?
+tomas mcmanus Yeah, dwarves have misproportioned arms and legs when compared to the rest of their body.
+tomas mcmanus Dwarfism comes with a ton of medical complications starting from birth.
the picture of him that was shown was him creepily sitting in the lap of Carrie Fisher with her slave bikini on...
so it was Gonna be called Revenge of the Jedi and if that title stayed, would Revenge of the Sith be called Return of the Sith?
That title actually fits better
+John Devine no it doesn't because the with is present in all prequels
+josh reed Yew, it'w true, the with waw alwayw sith us, wince the beginning.
XD
+Nickplays631 no it doesn't
ummm, wasn't Jabba the Hutt mentioned in both A New Hope and Empire...?

What did they do wrong?
+Maverick Hunter Zero Beats me. Episode six is my favorite too. It's lightsaber duel is really underrated.
+Maverick Hunter Zero It is my favorite also but, i can see how it is the "weakest" of the originals.
the ewoks are kinda stupid. the original idea of wookies would've been much better.
the second death star was kind of a lazy plot point.
luke and leia being siblings was a little lazy too. kind of out of nowhere, it obviously wasnt planned before.
boba fett's death is kind of dumb. but, no biggie
that's about it.
other than that it is pretty solid. and is my favorite star wars movie. in the sense that i enjoy watching it the most but, i recognize how it is not as well written.
i think it has the best lightsaber fight in any star wars movie (accounting for story/choreography/music etc).
and the best space battle in any movie (not even just star wars). even just the choreography is better than anything in the prequels. i don't know how the prequels failed so hard with the space battles when they did indeed make better choreographed lightsaber battles.
i also was far more creative with the amount of different non-human characters. something the previous 2 lacked to some degree.
+umidontno040394 I like the prequel lightsaber fights way more
Grim jaja they are better choreographed (which is actually debatable. because they look sooo choreographed. making them look more like a dance than a fight). but, the only one with substance behind it is anakin vs obi wan. the others are just enemies in a war. fighting.
Han solo dies in the force awakens

"THX"
those revenge of the Jedi posters are about 3-6 grand now

Return of the Jedi is my fave

Don't worry. Luke got a girlfriend in the awesome Thrawn trilogy. ...oh wait.
Yeah, his assassin, and I own the new essential guide to characters. There is no explanation on how she chose to love him instead of killing him
This one is my favorite of all the Star Wars movies, purely for the soundtrack.
I like Leia in her slave outfit.😘
You , me and anyone else with a penis. And I'm sure females who choose the hole over the pole.
#108: The Family Guy Star Wars special was also named "Blue Harvest".
Are you gonna do 107 facts on each of the Star Wars Prequels?
Yes please do! As a REAL Star Wars fan, I love or at least liked ALL seven epsiodes in the Star Wars Saga unlike those who didn't.
It was Warwick Davis' mum who pushed for him to join the film, they stated auditions were closed. It was only when found out his height and thought he would fit in as a younger ewok
This is my favorite Star Wars movie.
He changed the color of the light saber due to the background (sky) being blue and the blue sabre blended into the scene, so it became green to stand out against the sky.
luke had a green lightsaber because a blue lightsaber blended in with the sky during the tatooine scenes
Technically the Death Star would be a lot more feasable because in Star Wars with so many planets there would be a lot greater access to necessary materials
Well Vader did force choke Jerjerrod in a deleted scene.
Keyword is DELETED meaning not in the official film
"Revenge of the Jedi" is all over The Goldberg show (until the episode about Return of the Jedi).
Also, I never realized that the Death Star II was bigger than the original :P
This is my favorite Star Wars film!
ROTJ was not filmed in British Columbia.
It was filmed in the Redwood Forest. Northern California.
Ok, couldn't help noticing one huge error on Fact #47. It's actually pronounced Tah-Gah-Log not Tag-a-log.
(I cringe whenever I hear "Tag-a-log" no offence guys :P)

I'm Filipino!
13:17 That’s wrong. Jabba weighed about 4400 pounds. They mentioned how heavy he was due to the amount of clay and silicone he required.
107 Home Alone facts plz....
There was one I just learned that wasn't on this list. Return of the Jedi was George Lukas's least favourite of the six
Fact 1 is wrong, lucas dropped out from the dga cause it man dated that you had to open up with credits, but lucas wanted to have the star wars crawl first, so he dropped out to preserve his vision
*mandated
also in a deleted scene vader force chokes someones so incorrect
+Pixels the key words being *deleted scene*, which means not actually in the movie.
i was just about to say that
+Cinematica D-D-Destroyed.

Personally i think empire is the weakest,.
+Living Lifeform not in battlefront they not
26 is wrong, that was deleted scene from after they rescue han, leading up to when luke leaves for dagobah
+jukeboxdude97 the key words being *deleted scene*, which means not actually in the movie.
well yeah but you guys said it was the cut ending, thats why i pointed it out
+jukeboxdude97 yup it was never meant to b in the end of the movie
I guess they just used the deleted sandstorm scene because that one shot of Luke kinda fit to the fact.
Not sure about 7 but I think that in the very early stages it was "return", but everyone thought it was too weak, to it was changed to "Revenge". Then that was changed back because Lucas thought Jedi don't have revenge.
The ending of the movie makes me sad....
Bigfoot headcanon: Nerd in a Chewbacca costume
What Did You Think of Episode VII? (NO SPOILERS PLEASE!)
Best Star Wars yet!! Combined the Prequels' better CGI and the Original trilogy's story. This is, the best Star Wars yet in my opinion

Love the White House's response to the Death Star petition. Both funny and actually the smartest possible answer.
No, Jabba's first appearence was in A New Hope...
Said the new generation.... sigh
Blame George Lucas
He was...
In the deleted scenes.
Shut up
Yeah lucas is an idiot sometimes
He was A-hole he was just human in the orginal, human or not its still Jabba the Hutt. Bobba Fett wasnt in the Orginal.
#107 was so true it physically HURT
Finally confirmed, Endor was filmed in British Columbia, NOW I KNOW WHY ENDOR LOOKS LIKE MY BACKYARD IN BATTLEFRONT. God damn, if Ewoks we're fucking bears I'd have 5 of them.
I'm dying right now XD
Unfortunately not filmed in BC. The Endor scenes were in the Redwood Forest of California.
"The sound of Jabba the Hutt's slithery moves was created by soundman Ben Burtt running his hands through a cheese casserole."

Me: 7,5,4,6,3,2,1
Also, the "green lightsaber" was changed from blue, because of it blending with blue sky. Also the line "It's a trap!" was first said by Leia in Empire, when Luke showed up. She screams, "Luke, it's a trap!"
Star Wars from best to worst: 5,7,3,4,6,2,1 like if you agree comment what yours is if you disagree!
Mine ranked from best to worst is
1. A new hope
2. Force awakens
3. Empire strikes back
4. Revenge of the sith
5.return of the Jedi
6. Attack of the clones
7. Phantom menace
I agree with 5 being the best and 1 and 2 being the worst, but instead of 7, 3, 4, I'd say 4, 7, 3.
I love them all, but here's my two cents:
1. Return of the Jedi
2. Empire Strikes Back
3. The Force Awakens
4. Revenge of the Sith
5. Star Wars (I refuse to call it A New Hope)
6. Phantom Menace
7. Attack of the Clones
+TheGCritic Why wouldn't you call it A New Hope?! That makes no sense! Sure it was originally wasn't called that, but it makes more sense to give it a name, rather than just Star Wars. Besides, if you're hating it because it was called that in the Special Edition, you shouldn't because it actually was first given that name a little while after Empire was released, when the two were rereleased simultaneously.
+Joseph Jones Completely agree with you. People who refuse to call it A New Hope must be really pathetic.
5:57 in 1982-3 it surely would have been " expository dialog on BLUE screen"
Episode 6 is better than episode 5
The Endor scenes were filmed in California at the Redwood national forest. Not British Columbia. None it was shot in Canada.
i'm not fan of this movie, i think that revenge of the sith is better than this
Jabbas Sail barge scene was filmed in Butter Cup Valley California not Arizona and here's a fact for you, George couldn't afford to take down the set so instead of taking it away they rented tractors and buried it in big holes.

1 The Phantom Menace ( it had good lego levels okay)
2 Attack of the Clones

#59: Aren't the 3 names mentioned the words for the Necronomicon in Army of Darkness?
1:50 Lucas said "Revenge is not a Jedi concept." That's why it was changed. this is well documented.
Even with the release of VII, VI is still my favorite
Let's all take a moment to not rank the Star Wars movies, and just enjoy the fact that they all have something good about them.
Except Episode 2. Fuck that movie.
+Secret Steve and 1 Oh fuck it All the prequels sucked
7:14 - Lucas actually directed more, because the cast didn't like the official director.
When they got to 105 I was like "no, no, noooooooooooo. that's Impossible
Died laughing when I heard klatu barda nicto. Now I know where Army of Darkness got it and its hilarious to think of Bruce saying it probably knowing full well it was a Star Wars reference. You learn something new everyday
Footnote to #97. The dancer begs Jabba the Hutt in French not to kill her. "Non, non, ne me tuez pas. Je vous en supplie. Non"...
Seems like Luke putting on the Vader helmet at the end of the movie would have made no sense. 🤔 Still sounds cool though 🤷🏻♂️🤣
My favorite fact was the 25th one
Absolutely fascinating - thanks for posting.
That last made the Government just a little bit more awesome.
Fact 81: Even if it is true to that Vader didn't Force Choke anyone in the movie there was going to be a scene with Vader going to the Emperor, Moff Jejjerod (the guy who Vader complains to that the Construction of Death Star II was falling behind and when he tells him that the Emeror was going to come, the Moff promised Vader that the crew would double their efforts) and two Imperial Royal Guards deny him access to the elevator which leaded up to the throne room but then Vader Force Chokes Jejjerod to which he gives Vader access. This was cut from the film, most likely of time issues and wasn't necessary for the story.
2:58 amazing explosion
clatu verata nictu is from evil dead too, before he takes the necronomicon. they mustv stole it from day the earth stood still too. :) awesome!
This is my favorite Star Wars movie. ♥
13:55
I bet Jabba liked that
13:40 i heard that originally Leia's footwear for the gold bikini was meant to be sandals and not boots, but can't remember who told me that
the response to building a real death star is awesome
Episode VI is also the only one in the trilogy where someone casts force lightning.
13:25 "Nikto" is not the name of the character; It's that character's SPECIES.
Except that the species of the pictured thugs is Weequay: so named for Melville's Queequeg. Another species of Jabba's thugs are called Nikto as well, and another are called Klatooinians, and yet another are called Baradans.
making expository dialogue in front of a greenscreen sums up the prequels very well.
I hope we get to see all the thrown out shots from #71 some day.
the klatu thing also is used in the evil dead as the necronomicon chant
Lol at White House response to Death Star petition! :)
19:52 ya the cost is for one planit of resorses is the unavers thay have proly 1000nds of planits macking marerels cheper

Another interesting factoid going along with the whole "Luke's Girlfriend" Thing, by the way...Supposedly, one of the edits George made to EpVI has Mara Jade herself appearing in Jabba's palace as one of the "slave" girls...Apparently Lucas actually acknowledged certain elements of the EU.
About Fact #81, there was a scene filmed but left on the cutting room floor of Darth Vader actually force choking someone.
#7 Is wrong it was still original called Return of the Jedi before Revenge of the Jedi but then the first name was used.
How I'd rank the Star Wars films!
1. Return of the Jedi
2. Revenge of the Sith
3. The Force Awakens
4. Empire Strikes Back
5. A New Hope
6. The Phantom Menace
7. Attack of the Clones
I like the background music a lot
