So the new Star Wars trailer was released, and I figured it would be a good time to post 5 facts about the Star Wars films. Enjoy.
1. Yoda was originally going to be played by a monkey with a cane and a mask.
2. While filming lightsaber scenes, Ewan McGregor kept actually making the sounds of the lightsaber with his mouth, and they had to remove it during editing.
3. In an early version of Star Wars, R2-D2 was supposed to speak English and act like a jerk.
4. "I have a bad feeling about this" is a line of dialogue in every Star Wars film.
5. The disco version of the Star Wars theme was a No. 1 hit for two weeks in 1977.
