3. Did You Know: Luke Skywalker might have been a very different character if George Lucas had followed his original plans? Originally, Lucas wanted Luke, Aunt Baru and Uncle Owen to be midgets. Suave, handsome Han Solo might not have been so debonair had Lucas gone with his original instinct to portray Solo as a big green monster with gills and no nose. But, then Lucas decided to make Han Solo African American. He later nixed that idea, and Harrison Ford earned the role.
