And the fact that people check off Jedi under "Religion" on surveys doesn't make Star Warsany more real.
But let's say it was all true...
1. Blowing up the Death Stars cost the Empire $610 quintillion and... plunged the universe into astronomical debt.
2. Shaving Chewbacca would make 91 ponytails worth of hair and 15 wigs.
3. Lightsabers were essentially created by the Dark Side.
The first proto-lightsaber was called a forcesaber and channeled dark side energy into blade via crystals — touching these light sabers immediately turned people to the Dark side.
4. All the Ewoks and everyone on Endor would have been killed by the debris from the second Death Star blowing up.
The nuclear winter, dust and radiation would have killed those little teddy bears real good.
5. If you wanted to paint the Death Star, you'd need 2.8 billion gallons of paint.
...the equivalent of all the blood spilled when Alderaan's 2 billion people were blown up.
6. Cutting off people's hand with lightsabers is a actually a Jedi technique.
Cutting off one appendage is called Cho Sun and Mou Kei is when you cut off more than that.
7. There were 1.1 billion lives were lost when the Death Star blew up – just a little over the population of Africa.
8. The total number of Jango Fett clones was closer to 4.2 million — the population of New Zealand.
9. Lightsabers were illegal during the Empire's 35 year reign of terror.
A shame for Obi-Wan, who thought anything less than a lightsaber was uncivilized.
10. Tiny bears with sticks killed trained soldiers with laser guns.
11. Yoda was exactly 900 years old when he died.
12. Luke and Leia are twins – but they're not the same age.
Luke was on Dagobah and Leia was in an asteroid field but both went to Cloud City. But because of General Relativity, when Leia was 25 times closer to Cloud city than Luke was, she aged 62 days while Luke aged 700 days.
Yup. George Lucas added that in.
