This insane theory has been doing the rounds online for some time, and it claims there were actually two actors playing Jedi hero Luke Skywalker in A New Hope - Mark Hamill and his mysterious, taller double.

Those who believe the Force is strong in this conspiracy cite a mountain of set photos as evidence. Supposedly, there's photographic confirmation that Luke's height relative to Han Solo’s changes throughout the film.

Some even claim the line “aren’t you a little short for a Stormtrooper?” is a subtle nod to the taller actor, who was apparently denied a credit by George Lucas.

Luke does appear to be taller in some New Hope photos than others, though even the conspiracy theorists have wondered whether this is just some filmmaking technique during moments of weakness.
