What's left behind the scenes
- The scenes on Jabba's "sand barge" were filmed in Yuma, Arizona. The crew had a problem – how to hide from 35,000 enthusiastic fans who had arrived in the desert on buggies. For the sake of secrecy, the filmmakers announced that they were actually filming a horror movie called "Blue Harvest: Horror beyond your imagination", and even dressed all crew members in caps and t-shirts with this title. This was necessary because even a barbed wire fence and round-the-clock security could not prevent desperate fans from sneaking onto the set and taking a few secret pictures.
- Several Ewoks speak Filipino (in the Tagalog language).
- Rumor has it that another, different ending to the film was shot, featuring the wedding of Leia and Han Solo.
- The word 'Ewok' – the name given to the 'natives' of Endor who resemble bear cubs – is never used in the film itself, only in the credits.
- One of the songs sung by the Ewoks sounds like 'Det luktar flingor har'. In Swedish, this means 'I smell porridge here'.
- It is unknown whether the title 'Revenge of the Jedi' was always a fake, or whether it was genuinely changed at the very last moment. The official explanation for the title change was that 'revenge is not the Jedi way', but there was another reason for the change: it was much easier to track pirated products by the incorrect title. Several early posters actually titled the film 'Revenge of the Jedi' – such a poster is now worth a lot of money.
- George Lucas was very unhappy that in 1983, US President Ronald Reagan announced the Strategic Defense Initiative and called it "Star Wars." In retaliation, the director gave the Viceroy of the Trade Federation—a greedy, cowardly, and evil type—the name Nute Gunray. Nute translates as "triton." Gunray is an anagram of the surname Reagan, and also an anagram of the pun: ray gun.
- The scenes on Endor's moon were filmed in the forests of California. During the episodes when Chewbacca acts alone, Peter Mayhew was accompanied by assistants in bright clothing. This was done so that local hunters would not mistake the actor for a Bigfoot and shoot him.
- Initially, immediately after rescuing Han from Jabba's captivity, a sandstorm was supposed to follow. This scene was removed because it seemed superfluous and very difficult to film.
- Darth Vader is played by three people—David Prowse was his body (in the armor), James Earl Jones was his voice, and Sebastian Shaw was his face. Additionally, in the DVD released in 2004, in Luke’s final appearance with the three Force ghost Jedi, Sebastian Shaw was replaced by Hayden Christensen, who was 2 years old when the film first came out in 1983.
- Actress Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) was very worried that her character wore long, shapeless clothes in all three parts of the saga, which concealed her figure. George Lucas made a concession to Carrie and, in the final film, in the scene where Leia is held captive by Jabba the Hutt, he exposed the actress as much as possible.
- According to the script, Lando Calrissian was supposed to perish in the explosion of the Death Star along with Han Solo’s ship, the “Millennium Falcon.” However, due to negative public feedback, this detail was changed. It is worth noting Han’s line as he flies away on the captured Imperial ship and casts a farewell glance at the “Millennium Falcon”: “I have a bad feeling about this.”
- Several Ewoks speak Filipino (Tagalog).
- After George Lucas saw 'Eraserhead,' he offered David Lynch the directorship of this film, but Lynch declined, suggesting that if he accepted, he would be forced to compromise his vision for the film to align with Lucas's desires.
- Several Ewoks speak in Filipino (Tagalog).
- Darth Vader was played by three people: David Prowse was his body (in armor), James Earl Jones provided his voice, and Sebastian Shaw was his face. Additionally, in the 2004 DVD release, in Luke's final appearance with three Force ghost Jedi, Sebastian Shaw was replaced by Hayden Christensen, who was 2 years old when the film first premiered in 1983.
