10 Insane Star Wars Plot Twists George Lucas Nearly Made Happen

10. Han Solo Was Actually Raised By Chewbacca On Kashyyyk

Acting as unquestionably the most iconic best pals in the galaxy, Han Solo and Chewbacca's friendship throughout the Original Trilogy and beyond helped establish both characters as the sort of loveable rogues you'd love to share a pint of blue milk with.

And in an attempt to infuse some of that glorious Chewie/Solo spirit into his Prequel Trilogy, George Lucas was actually rather close to throwing in a cheeky cameo that would've added a rather unexpected detail to the pair's relationship.

On top of being gifted a solitary line in the form of "I found part of a transmitter droid near the east bay. I think it's still sending and receiving signals", Lucas had initially revealed in his script that a 10-year-old Solo was actually an orphan on Kashyyyk being raised by, you guessed, everyone's favourite Wookiee.

Yoda would've also reportedly come into contact with the soon-to-be legendary smuggler for the very first time on-screen in this brief scene, with the interaction getting as far as the concept art stage before the Episode III director decided against using it in the finished product.
