16. Why is Liam Neeson heard but not seen in Episode II: Attack of the Clones? Answer: Liam Neeson was originally scheduled to return in Episodes II and III as Qui Gon Jinn in spirit form. His voice is heard in Episode II: Attack of the Clones during a scene in which Yoda is meditating. Neeson’s appearances were canned after he broke his leg just prior to filming. Otherwise, we would have seen him just as we see Obi Wan in The Empire Strikes Back and The Return of the Jedi: in translucent form.

52. Did You Know: The sound of the crashes you hear in Episode I: The Phantom Menace were perfected thanks to NASCAR? That’s right. The team in charge of special effects for the pod races spent hours studying footage of NASCAR crashes in order to make sure the pod race crashes were as accurate as possible.
