The budget for the original trilogy was very little compared to its competitor star Trek movies. SoGeorge Lucasand his costume designers sat down and decided where to do the trade-offs. If you look closely in A New Hope, most of Stormtrooper armor is held together by white gaffers tape.

In Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018), Harrison Ford’s famous chin scar was added to Alden Ehrenreich to make him resemble Ford morebyu/poedameron123inMovieDetails
That is Ford’s real life scar he got after a car accident. The detail is incredible.
Jabba The Hutt Is Credited As “Himself”
In Star Wars Phantom Menace, Jabba the Hutt was an elaborate costume with no actor so they got creative with the creditsbyu/lXLegolasXlinMovieDetails
Jabba was basically a costume that had no actor in it. So the crew of Star Wars got a bit creative, crediting Jabba as “Himself”.
The Iconic Sound Of Lightsabers Is Actually An Error
In the First Star Wars movie our Immediately Recognizable Lightsaber Sound was a Mistake…While carrying a tape recorder with a Broken Mic Cable the Shielding had Come Off and the sound was Recorded as he Walked by a Television…the Sound is the Electrical Feedback from the Television’s Tube.byu/Harris4YouinMovieDetails
The sound was recorded accidentally. When a tape recorder’s mic cable malfunctioned and shielding had come off, the sound was recorded as the recorder passed by a television. The Lightsaber sound is actually feedback from the TV’s cathode tube.
R2-D2 Wants To Be Involved

The Cameo Literally Everyone Missed
Composer John Williams makes a cameo as a bartender on Kijimi, in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019):byu/Comic_Book_ReaderinMovieDetails
InThe Rise Of Skywalker, it is the legendary music composer John Williams who is the bartender Kimji.
The Speeder Illusion
In Star Wars: A New Hope (1977), all the wide shots of Luke flying across Tatooine in his speeder were achieved by placing a mirror underneath a version of the prop with a motor and wheels.byu/thanksforhavingmeinMovieDetails
Bet you didn’t see that coming.
The Millennium Falcon Detail
In Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017), Chewbacca’s seat in the Millennium Falcon’s cockpit is visibly dirtier than Han’sbyu/ovenmitt24inMovieDetails
Understandable since Chewie has a lot more fur. Although Han looks leads a way more unhygienic lifestyle in our opinion.
The Droid & Clones Resemble Their Creators
In Star Wars: Attack of the Clones (2002) the battle droids and clones resemble their makers.byu/xraig88inMovieDetails
Not many were able to point out this minor detail. ThePrequel trilogy, for all its flaws, is rife with such hidden gems only eagle eyed fans can notice.
The Story Of The Pink Droid
In “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” (2015) a pink R2 unit can be seen on the resistance base with the designation R2-KT. The founder of the 501st fan organization created the droid to watch after his daughter “Katie” who had terminal brain cancer. The droid visits children’s hospitals to this day.byu/SC762894inMovieDetails
All hail R2-KT, the hero we all deserve and need right now. We hope you are smiling Katie. The 501st legion states itself as – “an all-volunteer organization formed for the express purpose of bringing together costume enthusiasts under a collective identity within which to operate.”
Solo Has A secretIndiana JonesReference

Hell yeah!! Can we plan a crossover now please!!!!
They Were Never Real, Just Pictures On A Glass Panel
Some of the sets of the first Star Wars trilogy (1977 – 1983) were hand painted with oil paintings on plexiglass panelsbyu/jromeitinMovieDetails
This move saved thousands of dollars in production budget since they didn’t need to hire extras. Brilliant as heck.
The Docking Bay 94 Hidden Easter Egg
In Star Wars A New Hope (1977) docking bay 94 has a big stylized “94” outside the door that I’ve just managed to notice after 34 years of being a human.byu/xraig88inMovieDetails
Bet you went back to watch that movie again, didn’t ya now.
The Droids Were The True Comic Relief Of Star wars
In Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith (2005), you’re able to see one B1 BattleDroid in the background telling his friend to look at Grievous activate his lightsabers.byu/YodaHatesSeagullsinMovieDetails
It’s a crying shame such scenes were nowhere to be found in the sequel trilogy. They were too busy investigating if The Force was a man or a woman.
Who Dropped The Parka
In Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015), Han drops his parka on the floor when he arrives at Starkiller base. When he leaves, Chewbacca hands it back to him, and he reacts with confusion. This part was improvised by Chewbacca’s actor Joonas Suotamo, who went off script, confusing Harrison Ford.byu/Numerous-LemoninMovieDetails
The reaction says it all. Ford is taken aback.
Rogue One Corrected A Major Error From The Original Trilogy
Star Wars (1977) originally had Red and Blue Squadron attacking the Death Star, but blue conflicted with the blue screens, so it was changed to gold. In Rogue One (2016), Red, Gold and Blue squadron attack Scarif, where Blue Squadron is destroyed, leaving them unavailable for the events in Star Warsbyu/MovieUnderTheSurfaceinMovieDetails
The Way They Play With Lighting Is Brilliant
In Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith (2005), when Anakin and Obi-Wan speak for the last time as friends, Anakin is standing in the dark and Obi-Wan in the light, representing their status within the Force.byu/magidmarvelinMovieDetails
Using lighting to add more depth to the plot and characters is not a new thing. ButStar Warsdid it the best.
