OK guys, this is where we admit it, all us SW nerds... us guys that know more about SW than a certain dude i wish to call THE Man or Gee-ell

Anyways... just how deep do you think you know SW (im not gonna boast about how much SW knowledge i've got, i mean lets face it... for all we know, THE Man may have buggered up and jus don't wanna admit it cause peeps have devoured every scrap of info possible.. and then some :P)... so go on, just pop random facts or whatever ya know about star wars that you THINK other people might not know... for example...

Did you know that the original lightsaber hilt was made from the remainders of a light sabber (the old flash things used for cameras around that era.. ya know the american films where they have a reporter with those flash things and they go boom :P) and with the odd bit and bob added to make it look... funky :)

heh, Roan, sounds like one of those things they have on TV Guide Channel over here lol ;)

Anyways, I'm sure atleast half of you know already, there is a big controversy over who shot first, Han or Greedo. In the original, it is Han, but, after much deliberation, they decided to make Greedo fire two (pretty certain, not completely) pitiful shots and Han fire the killer shot/s. They did this because Han would look like a "cold-blooded killer" if he shot first. :D

Haha yes, I'm a norwegian aswell, and I got shocked the first time I heard about that :D

Btw, a couple of years ago.. I was making my own "lightsabers" out of small biljard sticks :P I painted them yellow and red and used aluminium paper to make the hilts -____-
This one of the few evidences to prove that I'm a worthy SW nerd.

I don't think anyone outside of Norway knows this:

When they were shooting the battle on Hoth, they needed a lot of extras to play rebel soldiers (of course). One of the extras is Norwegian and is called Arve Juritzen. He is now a well-known man in the Norwegian television industry. :P

On the Illustrated Cover of the new Ep3 game. If you haven't noticed, Anakin has 2 human hands. Now if I remember correctly, he lost one hand in Ep.2. Also, in the same illustration, Obi-Wan's lightsaber is different than the one we all know.

Tattooine was filmed in Tunisia, Endor was filmed in California, Hoth was a glacier in Norway, but Dagobah was just a movie set. I think the planets in the new movies are mostly computer animated, but my Ep1-3 knowledge is rather lacking!:D

If you look at the wall in "little Ani's" room on Tatooine you see a Track Ball handle. Really funny if you grew up in the '70s. It was a short lived game of catch.

Firstly, I'd like to say hi to everyone - this is my first post.

In the original trilogy, most sidearms were in fact simply real weapons with bits stuck on. The Mauser "broomhandle" pistol Han Solo used has been mentioned, but the Stormtrooper blaster was a british Sterling SMG, used by the Army until the early 1980s, and other imperial weapons were a British Vickers MG, and a German MG42, both dating from World War II.

Do I win five pounds? :)

They were going to going to use the model for real noweigian snow tanks for the battle of hoth, but then someone came up with the idea of walking armor on 4 legs.
