Trivia
George Lucas was so sure that the film would be a failure that, instead of going to the premiere, he went on vacation to Hawaii with his friend Steven Spielberg. It was there where they got the idea for 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'.
Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill did not use doubles for the scene in which Luke and Leia swing to safety, they filmed themselves the scene in just one take.
According to Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and himself only managed to behave when Alec Guinness was on set.
