29. Did You Know: Luke’s Uncle Owen is actually Anakin’s stepbrother? Luke went to live with his Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru, upon his father’s “death,” at Obi Wan’s urging. As we see in Star Wars: A New Home, Uncle Owen was always trying to keep Luke’s natural Jedi instincts at bay. While Uncle Owen strongly opposed Luke’s leaving Tatooine for the Imperial Academy, Aunt Beru encouraged Luke’s dream. Luke would finally get his wish of leaving Tatooine, but only after his aunt and uncle were murdered by Vader’s Stormtroopers.

51. Did You Know: George Lucas’ Stormtroopers weren’t the first Storm Troopers in history? Hitler’s Nazi henchmen were also known as the Storm Troopers. In fact, if you look carefully at the Imperial officers’ uniforms, you’ll see similarities to the Nazis’ uniforms. Lucas purposely created the officers this way in order to make them more frightening.
