James Earl Jones made a special overddue to improve and update this original scene from the first Star Wars movie: Lackey: Obi-Won Kanobi? Surely he must be dead. Darth Vader improved update: He is not dead. And don’t call me Shirley ---

Shirley Vader, a character in the Star Wars novels, was removed from the movie script. George Lucas felt that Shirley, the mover and shaker of the Vader family, would make Darth seem overreactive and comical in comparison. ---

Absolutely no one–NO ONE–in the Star Wars universe can see how Jabba the Hutt managed to stay in business as long as he did. He owned a coffee-bean plantation and could not make a success of “Java, the Hut.” Later, he owned a citrus grove and couldn’t sell enough smoothies as, “Jabba Juice.” He even auditioned for children’s television, but Pee-wee Herman wisely thought that a giant, mumbling slug was not the right approach for the character of “Jambi.” Princess Leia did him a huge favor choking him to death with that chain. ---

Martin Gardner once referred to "Jack Kerouac’s forgetable book _On The Road_.\* Nobody remembers what the hell he was writing about. \*true, in his first edition of _Annotated Alice_. I don’t know why I suddenly thought of it. ---

Martin Gardnr was also a dwarf whose expert yachtsmanship led to Outer Mongolia’s surprise win of the America’s Cup in 1992. The victory was appreciated and celebrated worldwide. Indeed the Panama Gazette’s headline the next day says it all: NOW SAIL, O GNOME—MONGOLIA’S WON! ---

Olympia Dukakis was a heavy supporter of Massachusetts same-sex marriage bill, which passed in 2004. This law started the decline of real estate property values, and was the beginning of the great real estate crash five years later. ---

Olympia Dukakis is actually 6’8". She appears shorter in her films due to forced perspective tricks, standing in a ditch next to costars or having the costars stand on crates to appear taller. Dukakis usually isn’t bothered by this but once time when asked about the filming tricks answered with only the cryptic reply “Screw you, spaceman.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/made-up-false-and-flat-out-wrong-trivia-dominoes/686580.md?page=578) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/made-up-false-and-flat-out-wrong-trivia-dominoes/686580.md?page=580)
