Alec Guinness himself cringed with embarrassment when recalling the dialogue for Obi Wan, but shrewdly was the only actor to waive a fee in favour of a percentage share of profit.

He must have been minted...

Even so, the script in all the Star Wars films is appalling, the acting stilted and the storyline a little hackneyed....  But it worked and they remain some of my favourite films today once you see past the obvious flaws.

There's so much folklore/urban legend about the original Trilogy, take your pick from the following excerpts:

1) Carrie Fisher's protruding nipples were flattened with carpet tape.
2) Mark Hamill was undecided for Empire Strikes Back after having his face rebuilt after a massive car crash.
3) George Lucas was less than impressed with Dave Prowse (Darth Vader) taking time out to film a series of road safety adverts for British TV as the "Green Cross Code" man.
4) That Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher had an affair.
5) Initial reviews were scathing.
