Sherbbat Shalom Star Wars fans.

With Passover coming up I thought I would share some lesser known facts that you won’t find on the Internet Movie Database. Friends since college, George Lucas suffered from chronic writer’s block and asked Steven Spielberg for help on the original Star Wars Trilogy. Uber-Jew Spielberg agreed so long as there was a Jewish back story. I know this is true because I heard it from my mom’s friend who goes to Synagogue with Spielberg’s aunt.

The film originally centered around the trials and tribulations of Jewbacca and his nagging wife Hannah Solo.

The Millennium Falcon is made by Cadillac.

It wasn’t a tractor beam, it was just Shabbat so they had to wait until after sundown.

Cantina band gained fame playing Bar and Bat Mitzvahs.

Luke’s aunt and uncle weren’t upset because he wanted to join the rebellion, it was because he didn’t want to be a doctor.

Princess Leia was from Long Island. What a JAP.

The game Luke and Jewbacca play on the Millennium Falcon is a version or Mahjong.

Darth Vader hated Atheists, “I find your lack of faith disturbing.”

In Empire, the Rebels weren’t fleeing Echo Base, they were just rushing because they got a last minute deal on flights to Boca Raton. “Oy, it’s too cold.”

Lando Calrissian is an Israelite

Jabba the Hut's dialog is Yiddish played backwards.

The scene where Han Solo was frozen in cabonite was actually supposed to be his bris but had to be changed to keep the PG rating.

The Force = Guilt

Taun-taun meat is actually Kosher. Ugnaughts, with their pig-like features, are not. Treyf!
