A most excellent video you have found.
Delightful trivia will ensue.
May the force be fuckin with your bitches.
It's long been rumored that these two asteroids in the space sequence in the Empire Strikes Back,
is actually a shoe and a potato.
Inserted into the scene as a joke by the special effects team.
While it's unclear whether or not this is, in fact, a potato, with the re-release of the movies in Blu-Ray quality
It's pretty safe to say that this is at least not a shoe.
I mean, after all, it's gonna be pretty hard to differentiate a potato from a low-resolution asteroid prop.
But given how the shoe was fake, it's likely the asteroid potato is just a myth as well.
A mystery it is.
We all know that some of the characters in the Star Wars movies have been, well let's say questionable.
I'm sure some characters will come to mind.
An equally questionable character, could have been the one and only, Yoda himself.
In the beginning, George Lucas wanted him to be played by a trained monkey with a cane and a mask on.
The fuck?
Luckily, someone on the production team was brave enough to confront George,
and actually made him realize what a circus it would have been.
And while on the topic of yoda, it's unknown
what species he's part of.
it's just never been determined, it's even officially been called simply, "Yoda's Species".
Another weird thing is that he has a different number of toes, depending on what movie you watch.
In some movies, he has 3 toes, but in others, he has four.
A mystery it is.
Okay, you know Yoda, what you need to stop it's distracting okay?
I'm trying to make a video here.
Mmm.
The dark side I sense in you.
Okay, but can't you just be silent for just a few minutes?
I can, my padawan speak for your mother while I show her my lightsaber. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Oh, okay, okay, here we go.
The ending of the Return of the Jedi was actually supposed to end in a very dark way.
You could almost say it was supposed to end with,
THE DARK SIDE
Oh, okay i'm sorr-
Basically, when Luke helps Vader take off his helmet Luke was supposed to put on the helmet himself and then proclaim,
NOW I AM VADER
What a twist!
Some people actually really liked this version,
but George Lucas did not and explained he thought it would be too dark in that the movie was for kids.
Yeah, cuz Han solo dying and mass murders are kid friendly.
The Youtube user, Suckerpinch has sorted the first Star Wars movie Alphabetically.
What I mean by that is that he's taken every single spoken word in the movie and sorted the clips in alphabetical order. Like this.
The obvious question would be,
Why?
-haven't George Lucus released the franchise in alphabetical order yet?
"autistic star wars theme song"
But a few interesting things came out of this though.
For example, the word "Lightsaber" is only said once in the entire movie.
Same goes for Chewbacca because all the other times they call him,
As usual, no one can agree on how to pronounce,
And the word "Sith" is not mentioned at all.
In the very beginning, the title of the first movie was supposed to be,
"Adventures of Starkiller Episode One: the Star Wars".
With Luke Skywalker being a midget named Kane Starkiller.
There would be female Stormtroopers, and they would be carrying Lightsabers instead of blasters.
And Han Solo was going to be an alien described as a green monster without a nose and large gills.
Jabba the Hutt was originally meant to be a furry creature.
General Grievous was first imagined as a child sitting in a floating chair.
And Chewbacca was supposed to wear clothes in all of the movies.
"I have a bad feeling about this".
Is a phrase that's been said at least once in every Star Wars movie,
and has become a sort of running gag because of it.
The line has also been featured several times in the Clone Wars TV series,
and in every single Star Wars based game made by LucasArts.
It's even made its way into other franchises such as the Monkey Island video game series and the Indiana Jones movies.
There's a lot of names in the Star Wars universe with some quite interesting and even unknown origins.
For example, it's been rumored that C-3PO was named after a post office which is located at reference C-3
on a map of George Lucas's hometown.
R2D2 is said to stand for "Real two, dialogue two".
Darth Vader however, could be a lot of things.
The most common theory is that Vader stands for "Invader",
much like Sidious stands for "Insidious".
And Darth simply means "Dark".
In other words, Darth Vader means Dark Invader.
But Vader is also the Dutch word for father, which would also make sense.
There was also this guy named Gary Vader, at the school, George Lucus went to.
The word Jedi is thought to have been derived from the Japanese word, Jidaigeki.
A genre of film and theater in Japan.
The (Evoks?) are named after a native american tribe called, (Mivok?)
Yoda could be from the Sanskrit word, "Yoddha" meaning warrior
or the Hebrew word, "Yodea" meaning one who knows.
Oh, much knowledge you have, Lemmeno.
No it's Lemmino, not Lemmeno.
What I said that is, Lemmeno.
Dude are you just fucking with me right now?
Yes, like I fucked your mother last nig-
OH, OH, OH.
Star Wars is known to have some pretty severe continuity errors,
but something that does work is that the last line in episode three,
and the first line in episode four was spoken by C-3PO.
"Oh no!"
"Did you hear that?"
"fuck no"
"They shut down the main entrance!"
"We will be destroyed for sure!"
This was also done in the same location. Thus connecting the two movies,
which are seperated by almost 30 years.
By now most of you have heard about the Disney acquisition of Lucasarts
and the upcoming sequel trilogy.
But what you may not know is that George Lucas always planned on making this third trilogy himself.
In fact he planned on making up to four trilogies.
So a total of twelve movies.
But by the late 1990s, he decided not to for various reasons,
and ended the series with episode three.
What's a little ironic though is that he once said as a joke that,
"Maybe when Carrie and Harrison are in their 60s and 70s, we'll come back and do another version."
He has also in countless occasions in the past, ruled out the possibility of anyone else making a Star Wars film.
Little did he know, that's exactly what ended up happening.
People like to rip on the prequels because of well, a lot of things really.
One of them however is the shire overkill in the special effects department.
The fact that so much, was just filmed in a green room.
But let's dig a little deeper into that.
Was everything just CGI?
No, it wasn't.
They actually used tons of practical effects, as well.
Something people often seem to forget.
In fact most of the time, you probably can't even tell the difference between the physical and CGI.
Stationary Battle Droids,
cities,
landscapes,
interiors,
and other scenic environments,
buildings,
vehicles,
even this famous scene was almost entirely physical.
Your mother also likes to get physica-
DUDE I SWEAR-
I mean sure this doesn't take away from a lot of the other really bad stuff about them,
but still the backlash these movies received should not really be blamed on CGI alone as it's not really a
justifiable cause for it.
Say what you want you want about it,
but the Star Wars prequels have some really great special effects for its time.
For example, all the clone troopers, every single one, are CGI.
No physical copies of the clone Trooper armor was used.
But, who am I kidding,
we all know what the comments section is gonna look like.
