Games SWC Did you know?

Nope!

Did you know that Oscar Isaac has dressed up as a gonk Droid on multiple occasions?

 

No, but I somehow feel like that shouldn't be a surprise.

Did you know that BB-8's default programming includes a self preservation program that is supposed to make him skittish?

 

No, but I kinda figured that. lol

Did you know that the sound effect of the sarlaac was made from crewmembers' stomach-aches from eating too much pizza?

 

No way. You gotta be frickin' kidding me.

Did you know that the sound of Kylo Ren using the Force is actually a cat named Porkchop?

 

I think I've heard that before but I forgot about it


Did you know that Carrie Fisher's daughter, Billie Lourd originally auditioned for the role of Rey, but was eventually cast as Lieutenant Connix?

 

No (and if Rey turns out to be Leia's daughter, that would have been EPIC!)

Did you know that Return of the Jedi almost had a completely different ending?

 

I think I vaguely remember hearing that somewhere.

Did you know that all of Nien Numb's lines are in Swahili? (At least I think it's Swahili. I'd have to look it up to be sure. It's some African language, anyway.)

 

I knew Swahili or variations of it have been used throughout Star Wars.

Did you know that Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing were best friends in real life?

 

Yup. I find it hilarious cuz they're both like dark side.

DYK that the "force kick" in RoTJ was just bad choreography and Luke was supposed to actually kick the dude?

 

I didn't even know it was a force kick! So the force can shoot out of your bunyans as well? Crazy.

Did you know that parts of the original Star Wars set were still lying around outside Elstree Studios in the year 2004?

 

No, I did not. That's interesting.

Did you know that "Dameron" comes from JJ Abrams' assistant Morgan Dameron?

 

Nope

Did you know that Poe was almost killed in ep. VII but Oscar was upset that all the characters he played died so they changed it?

 

I hadn't heard that, but I'm not completely surprised, because his survival was initially rather dubious.

Did you know that in the OT there were technically several Boba Fetts, because he was played by whoever fit in the costume.

 

Did you know that the laser blast sound came from banging on an electrical wire?

 

I did, but I only found out in the past six months or so.

Did you know that the voice of Garindan (the Kubaz who spoke to the sandtroopers in ANH) was made by scrambling some of John Wayne's film dialogue?

 

I did not know that.

Did you know that Rune Haako’s mask was lost after TPM, so for AOTC, they used Daultay Dofine’s mask and thought up a new character named Gilramos Libkath. However, the credits say the character is Lott Dodd, the Trade Federation senator from TPM, while the script says it is in fact Haako. Lucasfilm eventually confirmed the character is Haako, despite his different appearance and voice, as was originally intended.

 

Did you know that I don't know who any of those characters are? Did you know that Jodie Foster and Sissy Spacek auditioned for Leia?

 

Yup.

Did you know that in ROTJ you can see one of the ewok actors hands when they take the weapons?

 

"Now I am Vader," Luke says as he puts on the mask.

Did you know that Luke says "Carrie!" during the post-Battle of Yavin celebration?

 

Ok, I did know that but the problem is Mark Hamill denies it, that he was supposed to yell something and flubbed it.

Did you know the name Windu Was in the original SW scripts and that it was used for an RPG character in the Star Wars Adventure Journals from West End Games?

 

I knew the former, but not the latter.

Did you know an actor who was denied the role of Han Solo in the films went on to play the character on radio?

 

I did not know that.

Did you know that during the filming of AOTC, Hayden Christensen accidentally destroyed his own Sega Dreamcast by using a foreign power plug after he gave Daniel Logan (young Boba) a Playstation 1?

 

No

Did you know that J.J. Abrams named the Kelvin Ravine on Jakku after his grandfather Harry Kelvin? He uses the this word in his other projects such as Lost and Star Trek

 

Nope - but it does explain why the Enterprise lookalike that was blown up by the Narada (opening scenes of the 2009 ST reboot movie) was called the USS Kelvin...

Did you know that for the past two years, there has been a nighttime marathon event called "Star Wars Run" held in Singapore? And it's one that's officially sanctioned by LucasFilm and Disney!

 

No.

Did you know that the Togruta Youngling girl Ashla from Attack of the Clone was at one point going to be Ahsoka?
