9. Did You Know: Liam Neeson, who plays Jedi master Qui Gon Jinn, cost the set designers of Episode I: the Phantom Menace approximately $150,000 simply because he is so tall? That’s right. The set designers designed the set to be just as high as the actors’ heads. The rest of the scenery would later be added digitally. However, Liam Neeson was by far the tallest cast member at six four, thus meaning the set had to be designed at least that high.

77. Who was the only star in Episode II: Attack of the Clones who didn’t get to choose the design of his own lightsaber? Answer: Hayden Christiansen who plays Anakin Skywalker. Christiansen used the same lightsaber as Luke used in Star Wars? Why? Obi Wan would later give Luke his father’s lightsaber.
