A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, there was a place called “Earth” where every May 4th they celebrated Star Wars Day! To commemorate this holiday, we wanted to share some awesome facts about the epic space opera that will bump your knowledge level up to Jedi Master:
- Luke Skywalker was originally named Luke Starkiller, but it was changed before filming began.
- During the evacuation of Cloud City, you can see an extra in the background carrying what looks like an ice cream maker. Good to know that even in space they still make ice cream the old fashioned way.
- The members of NSYNC made a cameo in Attack of the Clones, but the scene was cut from the final version of the movie. How cool would it have been to see Justin Timberlake wielding a lightsaber?
- The phrase, "I have a bad feeling about this" is said in every film. It’s also what a lot of fans said when they heard Han Solo was getting his own spinoff movie.
- Qui-Gon Jinn’s communicator device is actually a modified Gillette Ladies Razor. Talk about dual purpose!
To celebrate today, we want to know which of the episodes is your favourite. Are you a Return of the Jedi person or more of a The Empire Strikes Back fan? Perhaps you’re one of the rare few who actually enjoyed The Phantom Menace? Whatever your choice, tell us, and you’ll be entered in our contest. Just comment below with your favourite episode by Friday, May 11th at 12pm, and three winners will be randomly selected to win Star Wars: The Complete Saga Blu-ray Set. Start writing that comment, and may the force be with you!
