8. Little Known Fact: If you watch any of the Star Wars trilogy, you might notice the majority of Vader’s Stormtroopers are actually left-handed. Actually, they’re left-handed by necessity. Their guns—which were designed based on real guns—were created with the magazine on the left side. Because the magazine was on the left side, the originally right-handed Stormtroopers would whack themselves in the chest every time they held their guns. Therefore, they had to use their left hands to carry the guns, which made them appear left-handed.

75. Did You Know: In Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Hayden Christiansen will actually wear Darth Vader’s suit? Another actor was originally supposed to wear the original suit, as was the case in the first trilogy, but Christiansen was said to have begged Lucas to have a new suit made, so he could “be” Darth Vader. Because Christiansen is quite a bit shorter—five inches to be exact—than the original Darth Vader, the camera crew had to resort to using camera “trickery.”

Matted "Anakin vs. Asajj" Limited Edition, Hand Painted Clone Wars Art Be one of select few to own the first-ever, limited edition hand painted animation cel from the Cartoon Network micro-series, Star Wars: Clone Wars. The art features the climactic lightsaber duel seen in chapter 18 between Anakin Skywalker and Sith apprentice Asajj Ventress. Each beautifully hand painted cel is over a gicleé reproduction of the actual production background. Gicleé (zhee-clay) is a digital fine art printmaking process wherein millions of ink droplets stream onto canvas or high-quality stock paper. The scene is presented in wide screen format as a "pan," setting it apart in its unique collectibility. StarWarsShop.com is offering the first hand-numbered cels of the limited 250 sequence so the earlier you purchase the lower the number of your cel.
