40. Quick: What was Ewan McGregor’s reaction to portraying Obi Wan in the new Star Wars trilogy? Answer: McGregor, who spent hours watching Alec Guinness’ movies to perfect the original Obi Wan’s accent, told Graham Fuller in an interview he felt playing Obi Wan was: “Very weird. The Jedi Knights have got a sense of what's going to happen, so they don't freak out or panic or anything. But after a while I noticed the only thing I was doing was frowning a lot. That's a worry when you shoot for three-and-a-half months.”

70. How did George Lucas try to throw the media off track prior to the release of The Return of the Jedi? Answer: Well, according to Lucas, “we called the film 'Revenge of the Jedi' to throw people off. The title was always intended to be 'Return of the Jedi', but we made the film under the code name 'Revenge of the Jedi'. Unfortunately, what happened is Fox started promoting the film before we could tell them not to use the title.” Legend also has it that Revenge of the Jedi would never be acceptable because Jedis are not vengeful and therefore do not seek revenge on those who have wronged them.
