Interesting Movie Fact #005

If you call yourself a Star Wars fan, and we know there are thousands of you, then you have seen every film about a hundred times. You watch these films so many times because you've seen what's going on in the foreground, but now it's time to check out what's happening in the background.

For Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, many people have noticed something interesting about the Rebel Troopers involved in the battle aboard the Blockade runner during the opening sequence.


We all know that most of those brave troopers in the image above will not survive the upcoming onslaught from the Imperial Stormtroopers.


However, even though they have met their fates, these same Rebel Troopers can be seen walking amongst the living on Yavin IV in the Rebel Alliance's base.

Of course we all figured that George Lucas reused Stormtroopers, and maybe even used actors to portray both Rebel and Imperial troops.

Secondary movie fact; Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett), also appeared in The Empire Strikes Back as an Imperial officer on Bespin. -GJ
