Can You Tell Which “Star Wars” Fact Is True And Which Is A Lie?

The sound of the TIE Fighter’s engines is a combination of an elephant call and the sound of a car driving on wet pavement, according to "Star Wars" sound designer, Ben Burtt.

The hair-dryer was the lie.

The character Mace Windy did make an appearance in one of the very earliest treatments of "Star Wars", but this proto-character appears to have evolved into the character Obi-Wan Kenobi, and his padawaan learner Chuiee Two Thorpe probably evolved to be Luke Skywalker.

Mace Windy was the lie.

Before it was Bossk’s outfit, it was indeed a "Doctor Who"costume and an RAF uniform. The most expensive piece of "Star Wars" memorabilia is actually the Panavision PSR 35mm camera used by George Lucas to shoot the original film, A New Hope.

The suit's price was the lie.

The officially sanctioned Mark Hamill Fan Club website claims that specific parts of the wampa attack scene were added to the script of "The Empire Strikes Back" to help explain facial scars the actor had received after a car crash in December of 1976.

The rancor wound was the lie.

According to an interview George Lucas gave to Rolling Stone, the creatures that became the Ewoks may have started off as Wookiees in an early draft of "Star Wars", but were later shrunk down and had their names mixed up by the time they made their appearance in "The Return of the Jedi".

The eWok was the lie.

The shoot for "Return of the Jedi" was plagued with problems. Producers used the codename “Blue Harvest” and the fake tagline “horror beyond imagination” as a cover to keep vendor prices low and to throw journalists off the scent. According to director Richard Marquand, the cast and crew "devised a complete movie, which was in fact Blue Harvest” while trapped in their trailers during a bad sandstorm.

The Sarlacc malfunction was the lie.

According to an interview given by a Death Row Records engineer, Tupac claimed he went in to audition for the role of Mace Windu. The story may be apocryphal though, since Shakur died almost a year before filming started on "The Phantom Menace."

His appearance in the original trilogy was the lie.

If you look closely, you can see a pod of what appears to be the race of aliens from the film E.T., called Grebleips, in the Galactic Senate scenes. The Predator aliens, however, do not make an appearance.

The Predator alien was the lie.

The sea worm Yoda Purpurata actually got its name from the character Yoda, not the other way around.

The sea worm was the lie.

“Use the Force, Luke.” was only uttered in "Star Wars: A New Hope."

"Use the Force, Luke." was the lie.

The three Lucas children all made an appearance, and the members of NSYNC were meant to appear in Attack of the Clones but the scene didn’t make it into the final cut of the film.

The Darth Vader cameos was the lie.

Sure, a parsec is a measure of distance, not time, but the Millennium Falcon still made the Kessel Run in less than twelve of them. According to George Lucas, the ship's advanced drives and computers was able to plot a shorter distance through the system than any other ship.

The Kessel Run conundrum was the lie.

Your almost complete lack of Star Wars knowledge is actually kind of impressive. If you lived in the Star Wars universe, you’d be what’s called a “Nerf Herder,” which is the highest rank given to the greatest minds in the galaxy. Well done!
