Does the OG trilogy have the best extras in any movie? Every single person who plays an officer fucking kills it.
>>219908438He looks oddly like a regular British man in the 70s
Why did all the 70s sideburns disappear in The Empire Strikes Back, it was filmed in 1979 and yet they're all gone.
>>219909003They were out of style. Sideburns were most popular in the early to mid 70s.

In the original script draft, "Darth Vader" wasn't a black-armored force-using half-mechanical sith lord. He was just some guy. "Darth Vader" was just his gobbledygook georgespeak name. The black robot warrior concept was something that appeared in the prologue of the movie, it gets killed by Annikin Starkiller (the character who would ultimately become Luke), but not before killing his 10-year old brother.>With the aid of the electrobinoculars, Deak watches the running lights of the starship flash on and off. Suddenly, something huge moves in front of his field of view. Before either of the two young boys can react, a large, sinister SITH warrior in black robes and a face mask looms over them. He carries a long lazer-sword which cuts young Deak down before he or his brother are able to raise their weapons. The startled Annikin backs away in horror, then settles down and ignites his lazersword, which creates an eerie red glow. He stumbles over rocks as he attempts to avoid the charging SITH knight. The evil warrior swings his mighty lazersword, but Annikin manages to deflect the intended death-blow.>Finally, Annikin is able to assume a defensive stance, and the two warriors stand, sizing up each other. The black knight is at least seven feet tall, and dwarfs the young JEDI. They stand for a few moments, almost frozen, then in a flurry of blows, lazerswords clash with the sound of electric snapping and popping. Annikin is barely able to hold his own against the experienced knight. Many blows are exchanged before the SITH warrior is able to back Annikin up against a deep crevasse. Annikin stumbles and almost falls over the cliff to his death.
>The black knight suddenly senses something behind him and whirls around to face Annikin's father, Kane Starkiller, a Jedi Bendu master. The Sith warrior raises his lazersword, but is cut in two before he can bring it down again. Kane moves to the fallen black knight, and studies him carefully. Annikin, still a little wobbly from the whole experience, attempts to stand. Kane sees his dead son Deak, and goes to him. He lifts him into his arms and begins to weep. Annikin stands bewildered, watching his father cradle his dead brother.As we can see, a lot of these concepts were repurposed and rearranged throughout the film. That whole sudden appearance is something that would ultimately become a sandperson scene.
There is no character named Obi-Wan Kenobi, but that role is somewhat filled by a... General Luke Skywalker. Who isn't a hermit, but an active military general.Grand Moff Tarkin isn't even an Imperial guy, but a priest of Aquillae. "Grande Mouffe" was apparently a religious title.
>GENERAL: Starkiller!>Everyone near the general turns, but Starkiller doesn't show.>GENERAL: Where is that boy? Montross!>Montross rushes to the general and snaps to attention.>GENERAL: Page Starkiller.>Montross goes back to his station and a few moments later, Starkiller is paged over the P.A. system. The general waits, watching the big board. Eventually, Starkiller stumbles out of an enclosed computer closet, fastening his pants and tucking in his tunic. A moment later, the cute female aide rather sheepishly exits the computer closet. She is also in the process of putting her uniform back together. Starkiller rushes up to the general and snaps to attention.proto-Luke FUCKED
