26. One of the most famous bloopers from the film is when stormtroopers burst into a room and one of them hits his head on the door frame.

27. Peter Mayhew, who played Chewbacca, worked as a hospital orderly in London before being cast as the Wookiee. He was said to have got into character by copying the mannerisms of animals he visited at the zoo.
