1. Each actor, whose hero was reliable in the film, was entitled to choose the color of the sword himself. Mostly they took blue, like Anakin Skywalker or Obi-Wan Kenobi, green, like yoda, or red, like Darth Weider or Emperor Palpatin. Only Mais Windu has an unusual purple sword. Actor Samuel l. Jackson considered that such a light sword would look funny. 2. The word "Jedi", which George Lucas called his space knights, is from Japan. “Dzidai Geki” (“Historical Drama”) is a genre in Japanese cinema, which talks about samurai, their legends and real historical events. (For example, the film Takeshi Kitano “Onoii” is precisely the movie and the cinema). Lucas, who was in the Land of the Rising Sun a year before the filming of Star Wars and saw these films on TV, really liked the word “Jiday”, and he transformed it into “Jedi”. 3. All attack aircraft in Star Wars are armed with blasters E11. The prototype for them was the “Sterling” L2A3-a nine-mile-meter pistol-machine gun of the Second World War, used by the British troops. Due to the features of the design of the pistol (and as a result-blaster), you can only hold it with your left hand, so all the attack aircraft in the film turned out to be left-handed. 4. "Star Wars" could be called otherwise. The fact is that the 20th Century Fox film studio was dissatisfied with the name, believing that it was negativity. While working on the film among the crew and actors, a competition for the best version of the name of the picture was announced. But no one was able to come up with anything interesting, and therefore decided to leave the "star wars". 5. Dart Weider was the first hero invented by George Lucas for Star Wars. Vader (Vader) from the Dutch language translates as "father". Dart (Darth) denotes the "Dark Lord of the Sith" (Dark Lord of the Sith). The name of Anakin Skywalker was borrowed by George Lucas from his friend – director Ken Annakin. In general, “Enakin” is the Greek word “enax” in the vinide case, which translates as “lord”. 6. The character Khan Solo George Lucas “copied” from his friend – director Francis Ford Coppola, and Harrison Ford played him. Although, according to the initial idea of Lucas, Khan Solo was supposed to be a green alien monster without nose and gills. In addition to Ford, Kurt Russell, Nick Nolti and Christopher Waken tried to this role. 7. Peter Maikhe, who worked in the hospital as a orderly, got the role of Chubakki due to his huge growth – 2 m 18 cm. This representative of the Vuki race was sketched from the dog of George Lucas Indiana of the breed Alaskinsky Malamut. The language on which Chubacca speaks was made by compilation of sounds made by a polar bear, a badger, walrus and a camel. 8. The most famous robots-P2-D2 (R2-D2) and C-tripio (C-3PO)-could be called A2 and C3, but then George Lucas decided to give droids more “complete” names. According to the director, their names are simply a pleasant set of letters and numbers that mean nothing and does not decipher anything. Si-TRIPIO-a golden droid similar to a person,-Lucas made in the image of a robot from the fantastic film “Metropolis” of 1927. I. To create a character, Obi-Van mr-play-casino.co.uk Kenobi George Lucas, inspired the film by Japanese director Akira Kurosava “Three villains in a hidden fortress” (1958) and directly the main character of the picture-General Rocule Macabe. That is why the image of the master-chew Obi-Wan Kenobi is so reminiscent of the samurai. 10. The character Luke Skywalker underwent many changes before he became the way he is. First, George Lucas wanted to make him a girl. Then he was thinking that the hatch was a gnome. According to the following version of the director, Skywalker could become a 60-year-old general. Even the name of the hero was originally Luke Starkiller (Starkiller – with English. “Star killer”), and only after the start of the filming of the first film of the film epic “Star Wars-IV: New Hope” he became Skywalker (Skywalker-with English. “Heavenly Wanderer”). 11. George Lucas was very unhappy that in 1983, US President Ronald Reagan announced a strategic defense initiative and called it “Star Wars”. In revenge, the director gave the vice-korov of the trading federation-a greedy, cowardly and evil type-the name Nut Ganrey. Nut translates as "Triton". Ganrei – Anagram of the name Reagan, as well as an anagram of the game: Ray Gun – with English. “Radiation weapons”. 12. The name of the teacher and Jedi Yoda was taken by George Lucas from Sanskrit: Yoddha translated “Warrior”. In “Star Wars-IV, V, VI” iodine was a doll. Lucas was so impressed by the work of Frank Oza, who not only voiced iodine, but also controlled a doll that he spent thousands of dollars on an advertising campaign, trying to achieve a nomination for an Oscar in the category “Best Supporting Actor”. But the film academia refused, considering that the puppeteer is not an actor. 13. Actress Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) was very worried that her heroine in all three parts of the movie epic, where she appears, goes in long shapeless clothes, behind which her figures are not visible. George Lucas went to Carrie to a concession and in the last film in the stage, when Leia was captured by Jabba Hatt, the actress was exposed as much as possible. 14. The design of the dress of Queen Amidala, which she wears in the film “Star Wars-I: Hidden Threat,” was based on outfits of the Mongol aristocracy. To sew it, costumers needed eight weeks. The prototype of the Amidala spacecraft was the legendary reconnaissance aircraft SR-71 BlackBird. And the pseudonym of Amidaly – Padme – translates from Sanskrit as “Lotus”. 15. In order to most believablely recreate the races in punishment and accident in the film “Star Wars-I: Hidden Threat”, specialists in special effects carefully watched the archive
