23 Things You Know From STAR WARS That Weren't Ever in The Movie(s)
Tell me if this sounds familiar: you follow the development of a movie online for years, and go see a screening of it with a group of friends when it comes out. Right after the movie ends, as you stand around talking about it, you refer to a character by name and everyone looks at you and says, "Wait, who?" See, you know the names of all of the characters because you've read interviews with the filmmakers and seen casting rumors for years, but those names may not be spoken very often — or at all — in the final movie itself, leaving everyone else a little confused.
This phenomenon just happened to me and my family with the Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and for those of you who grew up with the original trilogy, it may have happened to you back then, too. Things like Ewoks, Sith, and AT-ATs burrowed their way into the nerd pop culture lexicon, but they weren't ever actually referred to by name in the original trilogy. Dorkly put together a video of 23 things that you didn't know weren't actually in Star Wars, and there are a few that blew my mind.
Did you know that the iconic Imperial March didn't appear at all in the original Star Wars? That's the biggest shocker for me.
