You probably remember that famous scene from Return of the Jedi where the rebels are planting bombs in the bunker to destroy the Death Star's shield generator and Han Solo has a final shootout with the treacherous Sarkli, a former rebel who betrays Wedge while he's trying to rescue scientists from the planet Raltiir. What you may not know about the Star Wars Universe, however, are the following tidbits:

1. Luke is repeatedly told to "Use the Force," but Lucas never elaborates on how he uses it exactly except to show him with his eyes closed. In fact, he's repeatedly pressing the "b" button.

2. Wise words from Yoda himself: "Jump, then jump again while you are in the air and double jump, you will."

3. Jabba the Hut's fat green men mysteriously fade away when killed, just like Yoda and Obi Wan. Obviously, they are all level 10 Jedis, including the one that gets his head bitten off by the Rankor.

Deleted Scene: Wedge Antilles single-handedly saves the rebel fleet by commandeering an AT-ST and an AT-AT to take out the Imperial Super-Laser&#153 on the planet Dubrillion.
