20 Mind-Blowing Facts About Star Wars

10. The Musicians In The Galaxy Are Called Jizz-Wailers

There isn't a massive amount to this one, it's just slightly hilarious. In the Star Wars novel Tales From Jabba's Palace €“ which contains a bunch of short stories centring on the characters found in Jabba's Palace in Return Of The Jedi €“ there's a story called And The Band Plays On: The Band's Tale. The Band's Tale describes the group of musicians that played in Jabba's Palace, and reveals that they're actually called Evar Orbus And His Galactic Jizz-Wailers. The term Jizz-Wailer comes from the official novelisation of Return Of The Jedi, a term used to describe a musician who plays funky music similar to jazz. Yeah... jizz and jazz. Totally the same thing. And remember that insanely catchy tune that's played by the alien band in the Mos Eisley Cantina? Yeah, those guys were Jizz-Wailers too.
