40. Mark Hamill was in a car accident that caused substantial facial trauma a day before he finished shooting the original Star Wars. An in-universe explanation for his scarring was developed for The Empire Strikes Back, where he is mauled by a Wampa, allowing him to continue the trilogy.
41George Lucas
George Lucas's original plans for a Star Wars sequel trilogy would have Hamill, Fisher, and Harrison portraying their characters "sixty or seventy years old". Currently, the actors are 61, 56, and 70, respectively.

47. When Coppola and Lucas (close friends and filmmaking buddies) were planning Apocalypse Now (which George Lucas was originally supposed to direct) they gave a small role to their carpenter, Harrison Ford, in return for Ford's work on a desk for Coppola's office. Ford also got a role in Lucas' American Graffiti a few years prior this same way. During the casting for Star Wars, Lucas needed someone to read Han Solo's lines while the actor's auditioned for Luke. He quickly asked Ford to do it, and afterwards, one of the producers there came up to Lucas and pointed out that he already had his Han Solo in Ford. (Thus beating out Kurt Russell for the role).
48. Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back: During production, great secrecy surrounded the fact that Darth Vader was Luke's father. Like the rest of the crew, Prowse—who spoke all of Vader's lines during filming—was given a false page that contained dialogue with the revelatory line being "Obi-Wan killed your father." Hamill did not learn of the plot point until just before the scene was filmed, astounding the actor; Kershner advised him to ignore Prowse's dialogue and "use your own rhythm".

Number 53 is false! Hamill’s debunked that rumor himself.
Imagine if the cast for Palpatine accidentally said “Execute Order 65.”
All of this bullshit would be over by then, since the clone would be hunting down Palpatine instead of massacring the Jedi.
40 has been debunked many times, including by Hamill himself. Yes, he was in an accident, but he was all healed up by the time “Empire” was being filmed.
65–she also put in the scene at the end of the first Indiana Jones movies. Indy coming out and talking to Marian was not part of the original script; Marcia asked what happened to Marian: did they leave her behind?
Makes a note of 86 in case I’m ever back in DC.
In number 31, The military emblem on Roy’s uniform is of the U.A.E armed forces.
Lot’s of BS and rumors that are not facts. Many debunked.
One of the “facts” used Wikipedia for the source, which in turn had a source that completely debunked both what was on Wikipedia and here. (Wikipedia is not a source, and always requires looking into their sources, which sometimes are crap, or don’t agree with what is on Wikipedia.
