Well happy Star Wars Day. Sooo lets take a revist to the original-----Star Wars The New Hope!!
First lets start with the original trailer:
That trailer is hilarious!! It is soooo bad!! "From the people who brought you American Graffiti". Hilarious!!
Okay it is time for fun and not so fun facts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-The film only had an 11 million dollar budget.
-George Lucas was so sure this film would flop that he skipped the premier and went on vacation in Florida.
-In the first day of taping in Tunsia the country experienced its first major rainstorm in 50 years.
-It took George Lucas a full year to write A New Hope. It came in at 200 pages.
-The score by John William is ranked number 1 by AFI as the greatest score of all time.
-Body count was 2,002,795,192
-That well known sound of the Star Destroyer was actually a broken air conditioner.
-Jabba The Hutt was originally in The New Hope. Hutt was cut from the film but later added for a home viewing special edition.
-The second USA film to take in 100 million dollars. The first was Jaws.
-Lucas pitched the film to Universal; United Artist; and Disney. They all passed. Fox took a chance. Ironically Disney years later will acquire the franchise.
