10 Star Wars Facts You Probably Already Knew Deep Down

10. Mark Hamill Was Photoshopped Into The 2005 Star Wars Reunion Photo

The idea of the iconic Mark Hamill and the rest of the OG trilogy heroes and villains lining up alongside the Prequel's batch of Force-sensitive stars and formidable faces in the same room was once enough to leave the average Star Wars fan with their jaws smacking off the floor.

But there was actually a moment back in 2005 when it seemed as though Vanity Fair had managed to pull off the admirable feat of getting absolutely every one of the famous Jedi, Sith, Rebels, droids, and alien beings inside of a room together for an epic photo reunion of sorts.

Only, as eventually revealed by Luke Skywalker himself, it turns out that General Grievous, Yoda, and Jar Jar Binks weren't the only stars thrown into the shot in post-production.

With Hamill performing in 8 shows-a-week on Broadway at the time of the shoot, photographer Annie Leibovitz instead shot him alone on that same set before eventually just photoshopping him into the mix later on.

You knew it was always going to be a tall order trying to land on an exact date where this many massive Star Wars names were all free to pose. And sure enough, some 15+ years later, the hero of the Original Trilogy finally confirmed that his theatre responsibilities forced some digital tinkering... George Lucas would be proud.
