	It was changed after the printing of the official merchandise because Lucas decided it was un-Jedi-like to kill stars. -----signature----- "Sci Fi has been associated with geeks and dysfunctional, antisocial boys in their basements with video games and stuff like that, as opposed to... the female audience." ~~ SPOILER-FREE TILLLL EPISODE IV "there aren't that many Ls in til." - farraday

	KennethMorgan posted: halibut posted: I didn't know that David Prowse had a welsh accent And I was unaware that Starkiller was changed to Skywalker "on the first day of shooting". Not sure whether that's true The "first day of shooting" story has gone around for a while, but The Making of "Star Wars" confirms that the change actually occurred after shooting in Tunisia had finished and they were about to start filming at Elstree. Just about the same time Lucas decided to kill off Ben, actually. This is fascinating. It means that in all the exterior Tatooine scenes, everyone in the cast, including Mark Hamill, thought the character's name was Luke Starkiller. His last name isn't spoken until the Death Star rescue, of course, so no Tunisian re-shoots would have had to be done to correct the name. But it's still intriguing to think that Owen and Beru, Ben Kenobi and Luke himself all had "Starkiller" in mind while playing their scenes. -----signature----- "Chance makes playthings of us all." -- Seneca Shameless non-Manager Emeritus sock of Vortigern99.

	Didn't know James Earl Jones not wanting his voice credited because he thought the movie would be a flop. What? Really? Is there any source to back this up. Also, the draft rumor of Han being the 13 year old Cabin Boy on Captain Antilles ship in the PT (or just ROTS?) And finally, that little story with flying coach was new to me. Pretty funny. -----signature----- I like all six Star Wars Episodes equally.

	David Prowse, a weightlifter from Bristol, played the role on screen but the voice was that of James Earl Jones. He was so convinced the film would be a flop, he refused to allow his name in the original credits. I heard it was because Jones felt that he didn't think he contributed enough to the character to deserve credit. -----signature----- Veni, Vidi, Vici. - Julius Caesar

	From what I know about Carrie Fisher and the interviews I've heard her give, I can really believe she'd say that to her mother.

That sounds far more like James Earl Jones ( a consummate professional), doesn't it? -----signature----- Hey, what are you trying to pull here... (CLICK) pull here... (CLICK) pull here...
