10 More Star Wars Facts You Probably Knew Deep Down

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.
