10 More Star Wars Facts You Probably Knew Deep Down
Search your feelings, you knew a certain voice in Tales of the Jedi sounded familiar.
No matter how much you think you know about the galaxy far, far away, there's always another fascinating detail or fact out there just waiting to be discovered by even the most dedicated lover of all things Star Wars.
In the case of the following collection of intriguing truths and features, though, there's a solid chance that - just like a certain Princess of Alderaan - somehow you actually always knew these pieces of information were a thing.
You likely had a funny feeling there was something familiar about the voice of an iconic Force user's mother. You possibly sensed you weren't simply watching a legendary actor only offer their voice for a character's unexpected return. And the fact the name of well-known locations in the galaxy were spoken long before their official debut has probably been buried down deep within you for a long time (a long time).
But not for much longer, folks, because this wonderful list is about to reveal a whopping ten more facts about the Star Wars universe that have likely been lying dormant in your mind for a millennium.
Or a couple of years at least.
10. Luke Skywalker Asked 118 Questions In The Original Trilogy
Even those who have only ever experienced one full viewing of the original Star Wars trilogy will have quickly come to the conclusion that the farmboy-turned-Jedi known as Luke Skywalker is a rather curious soul.
During Episodes IV-VI, Luke can regularly be found enquiring about everything from the Force to who his real father is, acting as the audience surrogate for much of his time on-screen in those first three flicks.
So, it likely won't come as too much of a surprise to discover that Mark Hamill actually ended up chucking out a grand total of 118 questions over the course of his appearances in A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi.
I gotta smile to think of someone actually sitting through the whole trilogy just to count & keep track of how many questions I asked! Unless they did it out loud. That's just rude & irritating & probably ruined those movies for the entire audience, which I frown upon. https://t.co/JHIGQf1RRo

That's according to one meme on X/Twitter anyway, with Hamill himself actually spotting the fun fact and noting how the idea of a fan counting the amount of questions Luke asked made him smile.
Not if they did it out loud, though, "that's just rude & irritating & probably ruined those movies for the entire audience," as Hamill put it.
At a glance it may seem like a hell of a number of Skywalker queries. But the more you think about it, the more you've likely always known this inquisitive icon was an almost bottomless pit of questions.
