Star Wars Statues

1. Did You Know: There were originally supposed to be two species on the planet Endor in The Return of the Jedi? Everyone knows and loves the Ewoks. Originally, however, the Ewoks were supposed to inhabit Endor with the Yuzzums. Only one Yuzzum was actually produced—the cost of reproducing dozens of Yuzzums was just too high for Lucas’ budget. So, in the end, the sole Yuzzum ended up in Jabba’s Palace. Next time you watch Return of the Jedi, look for a big, brown fuzzy creature with horns. But, don’t be misled by his fuzzy appearance, he’s one of Jabba’s henchmen and a natural enemy to Captain Solo and Luke Skywalker. If he’s clutching a gun, then you’ve met Star Wars’ only Yuzzum!

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.”
