Making The Throne Room
A New Hope’s last scene, in which our heroes collect their medals, is a great way to end a perfect film. While numerous scenes from the film were shot at the iconic Elstree Studios, George Lucas wanted the awards ceremony to be held somewhere larger. While they didn’t truly have hundreds of extras to fill the vast hall, they did maneuver a small group of extras about the frame to give the impression that it was full.

The Tusken Raiders
The Tusken Raiders, also known as the Sand People in A New Hope, ambush Luke Skywalker while he and R2-D2 are looking for Obi-Wan Kenobi. They were going to be Imperial spies sent to Tatooine to find the hero, who was initially known as Deak Starkiller in the script. Of course, the Tusken Raiders return in Attack of the Clones, only for Anakin Skywalker to massacre an entire tribe of them.
