CT Star Wars Misconceptions You Had as a Kid. (RE-MADE)

Another one from 1999, so I would have a few months shy of turning 15. After seeing TPM for maybe the second or third time, I was grousing over Bail Antilles being elected from Alderaan and how his last name was supposed to be Organa, and Wedge's last name was Antilles. My mom, who had never read any of the SW novels (to this day I am the resident SW expert in the family) made the suggestion that Bail Antilles was Organa's cousin! Of course, I argued this was false, Leia and Wedge were not cousins.

 

Did you know the actor who plays Wedge is Ewan McGregor's uncle in real life?

 

I always thought the Wampa was a wookie gone native at age four

 

I thought those old guys that were with the Emperor in Return of the Jedi were "the Sith".

 

Perhaps he was holding open auditions, for his rule of 2 spot, just incase Vader v Luke lead to both of them dying. So they could potentially have been the sith.

 

I always thought Chewie had a crush on Leia.

 

I always thought that Leia never knew she was adopted

 

I used to think the Tie fighter pilots were robots.

 

As a kid I actually thought that Luke and Leia's mother had been married to Bail, and sometimes, ignoring the twin aspect, that Leia was older and Luke was half-sibling from affair.
