Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about
Fun Facts You Never Knew About 'Star Wars: A New Hope!'
1.Use the force, Luke...
In one scene, Luke is dragged underwater by a trash compactor monster. When filming this scene, Hamill had to actually hold his breath underwater, and he did it for so long that he burst a blood vessel in his face.
You might be able to see the popped vessel in his left eye later in the film.You can see that tiny thing in his eye..And that's why the next few shots in the scene hide the one side of his face.
2. Harrison Ford wasn't originally going to portray Han Solo.
George Lucas previously knew Ford after they worked together on American Graffiti, and he was initially only brought in during casting to deliver lines with other actors.
However, he liked Ford's acting style, so he was cast as Han Solo.
3. Star Wars used to have a really stupid title.
Imagine watching a movie that just came out. The opening title turns out to be Adventures of the Starkiller as Taken from the Journal of the Whills, Saga I: The Star Wars.
You would just walk out of the theater, wouldn't you? Because that was the name of the second draft of the movie. Thank God they shortened it.
4. R2-D2 was initially going to be able to speak English lines.
The famous droid used to be able to speak in English with C-3PO, and he was actually going to curse a lot, but his dialogue was removed in post-production and replaced with his iconic beeps.
And the decision made R2's scenes more fun, because during his interactions with C-3PO, we only understood C-3PO's responses, which made it funnier.
5. George Lucas's ex-wife decided to kill Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Lucas was struggling with writer's block while writing the script, and his wife, Marcia, who also edited the film, suggested that C-3PO get shot.
George said no, because he wanted the film to begin and end with the droids, so she decided to have Obi-Wan get killed. George agreed and wrote that into the film.
There is a scene where Han is trying to speak with the Galactic Empire workers on the intercom. For this scene, actor Harrison Ford intentionally didn't remember his lines so that it would sound as spontaneous as it could be for Han.
And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
