Obi Wan had his own astromech droid in Episode II Attack of the Clones. It was called R4, it accompanied him to Kameno and Geonosis. Though as a jedi knight, the droid may have technically belonged to the Jedi Order and not Obi Wan specifically. So what he said was true. From a certain point of view.
I'm surprised that these facts aren't mentioned: "Star Wars is a movie." "Luke is a human." "Darth Vader has black armor." "The special editions suck." "The Death Star is in the shape of a circle." It's great that we moved from stating the obvious and having narrators that sound like they're going to hang themselves in boredom to actual facts and narrators that sound like they give a shit. Great job.
Technically. . . Han fired. Not 'fired first,' which implies that Greedo actually got a shot off before his guts boiled. Which was exactly what a guy like Han would do. . . it's why he's still alive. It also shows, unequivocally, what a jagoff Han was, which makes his transformation into General of the Rebellion even more meaningful. Both Leia and Obi-Wan set up the entire reason for Stormtroopers' bad aim. . . At the Jawa massacre, Obi-Wan says, 'These blast points, not made by Sand People. Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise.' Later, Leia reminds Han that they escaped too easy, they were allowed to escape.
I agree with you @revdraco. I've been fighting this battle online for decades. Han DID NOT SHOOT FIRST. Because this would imply that Greedo shot. If anyone actually watches the first and the original (1977) version of Star Wars they would see that GL wanted to make Han a cold-blooded killer to set up his character arc.
Han unsnaps his holster under the table while appearing to absent mindedly play with some decoration on the wall behind him, meaning he was planning an ambush. Han shot first.
44 is wrong. The Vader twist was added after new hope finished, just before empire finished filming. Vader isn't pronounced the same as the Dutch and German words anyway, and Vader most likely comes from inVADER, just like how darth sideous comes from INsideous
Huh, I knew that Dutch/German is pronounced differently and is probably coincidence (Vader didn't come up with the idea/plot twist until later). But I don't remember connecting it with invader before.
Ben Plummer the writer and narrator obviously know SHIT about Star Wars and are just focused on cranking out clickbait videos by vomiting up pop culture references without actually knowing anything at all about the subject matter.
I dunno, if he'd said "Vater" properly he might have noticed it almost sounded the same as "Father" also, and since no one who speaks English was confused, it would have been 1 less "fact" for them. I shudder to think hat they would have come up with.
Stop this Vader=Father stuff already. Even in the German Version Darth Vader is called Darth Vader and nobody hearing Vader will think "oh, that sounds like Vater" (because it doesn't). AND Lucas didn't know he would turn out to be Luke's father anyway, so...
+kyotaiken he stumbled over Tunesia so it sounded similar to Tanzania. He said "tun-sa-nia" instead of "tu-ne-she-a". He got it right(ish) in 33 though so don't hate us! 😃😃 thanks for watching.
Peter Mahew was not offered the role of Darth Vader. David Prowse was offered a choice between Darth Vader & Chewbacca. He was an established professional actor. Peter Mayhew was not.
i love the prequels, they show how badass obi wan was in his youth, and they explain alot of things about the originals, like how Anakin Skywalker became darth vader, and the clone wars. i know the romance part stunk but without it luke and leia wouldn't exist. cant we all agree on that?
+Joshua Bayer most of the actors of Anakin were a bit hammy, but the last one showed perfectly Anakin's descent into the dark side. Not to mention it gave us the marvelous vision of the jedis at their prime.
+MrKlausbaudelaire when he's not given shitty lines to read, Hayden Christenson is a damn good actor, watch nostalgia critics top 10 prequel things, he does him justice
is there a reason their not doing 107 facts about the prequels? it's my understanding that people now are just hating on them to hate on them...correct me if I'm wrong but whenever someone bases the prequels they never really give true constructive criticism all they seem to do is make jar jar jokes. were the prequels gold? no but removing the nostalgic rose colored glasses the original trilogy suffered just as much criticism. so why not instead of pretending that the movies began with 4 and end with 6 we take star wars in its entirety.

Besides... that is just a vehicle going over a sand dune... what is the same about it anyways? Just the angle of vehicle travel... *GASP* Too bad we don't sin everytime a movie shows a vehicle go in a same direction in the same environment.
Fact 68 is false, by the way. There was the decoy princess in Episode 1, the bounty hunter in the beginning of episode 2, jedi Ayla Secura (who I guess counts as a background character in the movies) in episode 3, and now the new girl in the upcoming episode 7 making a total of SEVEN main/supporting roles in the seven Star Wars movies. Hmm, sensing a theme anyone? Oh, actually, there's also a couple more on Tattooine in episode 2 plus Anakin's mother in episode 1. BTW supporting characters are NOT the same thing as background characters.
+Mr.AnimeFreak lol we actually meant that. The fact that people care about these videos and properties as much as we do to catch something like that, we think is pretty cool. We also don't want to give out misinformation so we really do appreciate corrections.
#68 is wrong. Not counting background characters, you've got Leia, Aunt Beru, Oola the Dancer and Mon Mothma. Special Edition added a few singers in Jabba's Palace, not sure if they count, though.
8:39 Funny that Tatooine was a Jungle planet in legends. It was a beautiful jungle inhabited by the ancestors of Eopies, Jawas, and Tusken Raiders. Until the Rakata suffered a disease that caused them to blame the natives and turn the planet to glass, thus breaking to become sand.
Correction 1 The Journal of "Wills" not Willis. Correction #2 James Earl Jones didn't want to be credited because he did not think voice acting was even a career or thing (In his own words). They credited him anyways. How can you say it changed his career then turn around and say he wasn't credited. Correction # 3. Carey Fisher said That George Lucas told her there were no Bras in Outter Space not Breast. That doesn't make sense..[ Wow your facts are off.
4:43 sub-fact: on the day of auditions in question, Ford wasn’t even in the studio for the auditions. He was in the studio working on a carpentry job (he did work as a carpenter in addition to minor acting roles), and was asked to read Han Solo’s lines as prompts for the lines of other characters who were then being auditioned for.
James Brincefield You'd have to be a special kind of stupid to not realize what's going to happen when the opening crawl mentions a death "star", and the main character just so happens to have the surname "Starkiller".
James Brincefield Death "STAR" "STAR" Killer It would be pretty obvious upon seeing the Death Star that we would know that the hero would destroy it. It would be rather obvious.
Also a tribute to the storm trooper hitting his head on the door is in the new Star Wars Battlefront. There is a cut-scene where two storm troopers are walking and one hits his head on a stair case
1. I didn't know that, thank you 2. It's semi-obvious (if you stop and think) that it isn't the Equatorial trench because it is way too big if visible from far out.
21:30 sub-fact: 20th Century Fox had to strong-arm those 40 theatres into showing the film. You see, the film’s release date had been bumped up to avoid competition with summer blockbusters, and the theatres refused to show it on the new release date. 20th Century Fox ultimately threatened to disallow them the opportunity to show a film called “The Other Side of Midnight” (which was based on a popular novel and, unlike “Star Wars”, was projected to do well at the box office) if they refused to comply.
The Japanese word isn't jida but jidai which means period or era. Jidaigeki is the Japanese word for soap opera or period drama. Don't mean to be a snob about it but its interesting to know how much Japanese history inspired the film. Its a very popular film series in Japan too😄
They said Carrie Fisher hated her hair buns. I watched an interview where she said she had gained a little weight so came up with the hair buns herself to make her face look less fat.
(well now, your removing 50%+ of the comment makes my gripe seem quite baseless, but i'll leave it unaltered because the timelink is still valid.) Amber Maynard apparently you didn't take the time to actually pay attention to what the video says (specifically at 11:57 for fact #45)... -.-
Not only did Williams win the Oscar for best score for this, he was also nominated for Close Encounters that year. He got two of the five nominations! Honestly, he’s right up there with Beethoven and Tchaikovsky.
Luke is the first person to say "I have a bad feeling about this" however, Luke's line is "I have a very bad feeling about this", which is the same line with an added word.
One fact y'all missed was that of Princess Leia's changing accent. It was due to Carrie Fisher's major problem with maintaining her character's British accent.
This just reinforces my disbelief that this series became so popular. I'm still going to see the new movie, but only because everyone else is hyped about it.
One of the first chnges in this film happened in 1981. In 1977, the film opened with The Title Star Wars (as with all of the films) and then went into the opnening crawl. In 1981, The more famous Episode IV A New Hope was added. This was because Lucas was convinced that people watching the film would believe that they had missed the first 3 films. This is why most of us fans over the age 45 still refer to the first film as Star Wars while younger fans call it A New Hope.
11:57 i live in the dutch speaking part of Belgium ( Flandres) when i first saw a new hope and heard of the name Vader i directly thought is he a father or something and when i saw the empire strikes back i was like so Darth Vader is Luke's father well didn't see that coming
I scrolled down pretty far, and surprised no one else wrote about this? #39..."Lucas didn't want to show the future as shiny and bright." The future? Didn't this all happen A Long Time Ago?
Ranking the Star Wars movies 1.attack of the clones 2.the phantom menace 3.revenge of the sith 4.return of the jedi 5.a new hope 6.the empire strikes back(the definite low point of the series)
Most definitely. Empire Strikes Back had a severe lack of poop jokes, and it didn't explain the Force at all. It didn't even have paper machè robot armies or giant cartoon monsters! Fucking LAME!!
2 more facts I can add... -When putting together the production team and crew, the Star Wars project was described as 'A Western set in space' (I guy I used to work with turned it down lol. -Another place Lucas 'borrowed' heavily from for the Star Wars universe was Isaac Asimov's Foundation series, in particular the stuff about the Galactic Empire.
Whitstable is pronounced Whits-ta-ball. Just up t'road from me. Cushing lived there til his death and could often be seen taking tea in one of the town's tea rooms.
Starkiller was later used in a later game and EU material as Vader's secret force sensitive apprentice. Luke is technically from Mustafar. Sabreforge and Ultrasabres produce movie quality dueling sabre called the Graflex. These are copies of Anakin's/Vader's/Luke's/Rey's sabre named as such due to the fact that the original was made from a Graflex camera flash.
Some nice info but wish wouldn’t say the movie that started it all is “Star Wars A new Hope” - was just “Star Wars”. Also only show the redo effects shots from 1996. Death Star equatorial crevice is not the exhaust port trench - crevice is many times wider as can be seen in the Millennium Falcon docking shot. My favorite Harrison Ford 70’s bit part is when he played a bearded drug addict (real beard) being rousted by cop Dan August (Burt Reynolds).
5:02 Oh if only you could've just chilled around the set for the prequels, Mr. Ford. Though this is also yet another reason Ep. VII might just end up being up to par with the originals.
They reused the name Utapau in the prequels for the planet Obi-Wan kills Grevious on. Also the guy you showed Vader force choking wasn't captain Antillis, captain Antillis is the guy he regular chokes at the beginning of the movie.
Peter Mayhew made the right choice. He 1. Gets to come back for the new movies 2. Is still a super famous character and 3. Didn't get fucked over like David Prowse
People shit on the executive crew for their treatment of Prowse, but it was a two-way street. He was a fame-obsessed bodybuilding jerk that didn't follow the rules. This guy went around spoiling every movie detail he knew and acted like an entitled tool about it. He was so bad with secrets that they didn't even tell him the "I am your father" zinger, they fed him a different line during shooting while they told Mark the REAL line. Hell, he was SUCH a tool about it that Lucas formally banned him from attending official Star Wars events. So sure, the studio did some crappy things to the guy, but it's not like he was innocent.
Michelle Lehto yeah. I knew about a lot of that but I didn't add it in for the sake of... brevity? Idk I wrote that comment a year ago. But yeah definitely. They didn't do things like that just because they felt like it. They did it because he was a dick. I think they were mostly justified except for some of the stuff where Lucas film didn't pay him a lot of residuals because of some loophole.
When you talk about #39 the used future, the reason also why everything looked that way is cause the Empire had full control of the economy which they used to fund their military while other plants, the rebels had to use what they had to maintain their equipment. Now back in EP1, 2 and 3 the universe is way better off with their economy and before any war broke out which let them build new equipment and easily maintain that equipment.
In Germany Lightsabers are called "Lichtschwert" which translates to "Lightsword". I allways wondered who decided to change that, but you get used to it, when you don't know it any other way.
Thanks for making the video, I learned some new facts that i wasn't aware of. There are some mistakes nothing too big, for example the artist for the poster is Drew Strewzan not Strewzman or what ever you said ..... CHECK YOUR FACTS
Obi Wan had his own astromech droid in Episode II Attack of the Clones. It was called R4, it accompanied him to Kameno and Geonosis. Though as a jedi knight, the droid may have technically belonged to the Jedi Order and not Obi Wan specifically.
So what he said was true. From a certain point of view.
Yeah, R4-P17. I'm pretty sure it's written "Kamino"

No idea utapau and other prequel names were almost used so early!
Also fact #48. THANK YOU. Someone who actually uses logic with the situation.
That Darksaber sounds badass.
One fact y'all missed was that of Princess Leia's changing accent. It was due to Carrie Fisher's major problem with maintaining her character's British accent.
This just reinforces my disbelief that this series became so popular. I'm still going to see the new movie, but only because everyone else is hyped about it.
It is way more popular than it really should be. It's an alright series at best.
+Loremaster Helix Majority rules mate billions of fans make the decision of it being good not one miserable prick on youtube...
So, in Final Fantasy VII and VIII, are the characters Biggs and Wedge references to Biggs and Wedge in this movie?
Wasn't that quote "there are no bras in space"?
I believe no underwear in space.
One of the first chnges in this film happened in 1981. In 1977, the film opened with The Title Star Wars (as with all of the films) and then went into the opnening crawl. In 1981, The more famous Episode IV A New Hope was added. This was because Lucas was convinced that people watching the film would believe that they had missed the first 3 films. This is why most of us fans over the age 45 still refer to the first film as Star Wars while younger fans call it A New Hope.
11:57 i live in the dutch speaking part of Belgium ( Flandres) when i first saw a new hope and heard of the name Vader i directly thought is he a father or something
and when i saw the empire strikes back i was like so Darth Vader is Luke's father well didn't see that coming
I met Peter Mayhew at geek'd con in Louisiana.
What happened with fact #77?
Re: 10:12 - I thought it was a LONG TIME AGO in a galaxy far, far away
12:57 But also R2 was Anakin's wasn't he?
I mean, Anakin built and maintained '3-PO...
R2 was initially government property of the Naboo and then... was adopted by Anakin I guess...
4:42. Haha, Harrison Ford actually vaguely resembles Adam Driver there 😃
What is that scene with R2d2 C3p0 and Vader?
drew strewsman, is that the name in 23.30?
Fun Fact: I live 30 minutes from Peter Mayhew. He lives in Alvord Tx. I saw him working out at our city gym
11:57 "Number 45"
12:13 "Number 45"
Why are there two numbers 45?
Reboot
I scrolled down pretty far, and surprised no one else wrote about this? #39..."Lucas didn't want to show the future as shiny and bright." The future? Didn't this all happen A Long Time Ago?
Ranking the Star Wars movies
1.attack of the clones
2.the phantom menace
3.revenge of the sith
4.return of the jedi
5.a new hope
6.the empire strikes back(the definite low point of the series)
im drinking bleach
I see what you did there...
Most definitely. Empire Strikes Back had a severe lack of poop jokes, and it didn't explain the Force at all. It didn't even have paper machè robot armies or giant cartoon monsters! Fucking LAME!!
George is that you? If so then HAHAHAHAH U DON'T HAVE STAR WARS ANYMORE FUCK U
You forgot to reverse the order.
2 more facts I can add...
-When putting together the production team and crew, the Star Wars project was described as 'A Western set in space' (I guy I used to work with turned it down lol.
-Another place Lucas 'borrowed' heavily from for the Star Wars universe was Isaac Asimov's Foundation series, in particular the stuff about the Galactic Empire.
This is my 3rd fav Star Wars film
Whitstable is pronounced Whits-ta-ball. Just up t'road from me. Cushing lived there til his death and could often be seen taking tea in one of the town's tea rooms.
name of the music used please.
YES STAR WARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I knew every single one of these facts
No you didn't
Liar
Because you watched the video twice and made this comment after the second time?
I'll bet your parents are proud.
Starkiller was later used in a later game and EU material as Vader's secret force sensitive apprentice.
Luke is technically from Mustafar.
Sabreforge and Ultrasabres produce movie quality dueling sabre called the Graflex. These are copies of Anakin's/Vader's/Luke's/Rey's sabre named as such due to the fact that the original was made from a Graflex camera flash.
Actually Luke would be from Polis Massa the asteroid where he and Leia were born
the first ten facts made me think this was actually called '107 facts about George Lucas'
Some nice info but wish wouldn’t say the movie that started it all is “Star Wars A new Hope” - was just “Star Wars”. Also only show the redo effects shots from 1996.
Death Star equatorial crevice is not the exhaust port trench - crevice is many times wider as can be seen in the Millennium Falcon docking shot.
My favorite Harrison Ford 70’s bit part is when he played a bearded drug addict (real beard) being rousted by cop Dan August (Burt Reynolds).
As a Star Wars fanatic, some of this list was "Tell me something that I already know!".
Wow! Finally someone who actually stated the fact that Manson did not kill anyone
5:02 Oh if only you could've just chilled around the set for the prequels, Mr. Ford. Though this is also yet another reason Ep. VII might just end up being up to par with the originals.
He died.
They reused the name Utapau in the prequels for the planet Obi-Wan kills Grevious on. Also the guy you showed Vader force choking wasn't captain Antillis, captain Antillis is the guy he regular chokes at the beginning of the movie.
The desert in Tanzania... and it's famous rainstorms sure made filming Episode IV hard too film!
John williams made the score for, Jurrasic park, Jaws, ET and Harry Potter!
Peter Mayhew made the right choice. He 1. Gets to come back for the new movies 2. Is still a super famous character and 3. Didn't get fucked over like David Prowse
People shit on the executive crew for their treatment of Prowse, but it was a two-way street. He was a fame-obsessed bodybuilding jerk that didn't follow the rules. This guy went around spoiling every movie detail he knew and acted like an entitled tool about it. He was so bad with secrets that they didn't even tell him the "I am your father" zinger, they fed him a different line during shooting while they told Mark the REAL line. Hell, he was SUCH a tool about it that Lucas formally banned him from attending official Star Wars events. So sure, the studio did some crappy things to the guy, but it's not like he was innocent.
Michelle Lehto yeah. I knew about a lot of that but I didn't add it in for the sake of... brevity? Idk I wrote that comment a year ago.
But yeah definitely. They didn't do things like that just because they felt like it. They did it because he was a dick. I think they were mostly justified except for some of the stuff where Lucas film didn't pay him a lot of residuals because of some loophole.
When you talk about #39 the used future, the reason also why everything looked that way is cause the Empire had full control of the economy which they used to fund their military while other plants, the rebels had to use what they had to maintain their equipment. Now back in EP1, 2 and 3 the universe is way better off with their economy and before any war broke out which let them build new equipment and easily maintain that equipment.
That's story information, not real life information. The truth is Lucsas had a keen sense of aasthetics and new a used look would feel more natural.
Which also falls into my comment
In Germany Lightsabers are called "Lichtschwert" which translates to "Lightsword". I allways wondered who decided to change that, but you get used to it, when you don't know it any other way.
So what does Anakin say to Qui Gon in Episode I?
Laser Saber?
Lichtswissen?
Thanks for making the video, I learned some new facts that i wasn't aware of. There are some mistakes nothing too big, for example the artist for the poster is Drew Strewzan not Strewzman or what ever you said ..... CHECK YOUR FACTS
