[CautionToTheWind]

From http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076759/trivia

At one point, George Lucas planned for the characters of Luke Skywalker and his aunt and uncle, to be dwarves.

[Judas Maccabeus]

I can imagine how that would have gone in the scene where the Empire comes after them.

"Okay, we have to take out these two people.  How hard could this be?"

"Is that... magm- AAARGH!"

Urist McBadaim, Stormtrooper has died in the heat.

[Stargrasper]

And I guess the Death Star was a planet sized magma cannon...or possibly an almighty wagon.

At one point in the scripting process, the Force was a large crystal or galactic holy grail called the 'Kyber crystal'.

Incidentally, the HFS also existed.

At one point, George Lucas had planned the character of Han Solo to be a huge green-skinned monster with no nose and gills.

And apparently while Luke Skywalker was a dwarf, Han Solo was Frog Demon.  What was Chewbacca?  A fuzzy carp?  Admiral Ackbar was a carp...

On the first day of filming in the deserts of Tunisia, the country experienced its first major rainstorm in 50 years.

HA!

Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) spent most of the production period in chaos, attempting to create special effects that had never been created before. They blew half their budget on four shots which George Lucas rejected. Ultimately, around $5,000,000 of the $8,000,000 budget was spent by ILM.

You know, the more I read that page, the more I realize the George Lucas' original story clearly was actually a move about Dwarf Fortress.

Urist McBadaim, Stormtrooper has died in the heat.

The stormtroopers report back to Darth Vader:
Vader:  "Is it done?"
Stormtrooper: *Slightly Insane Look* "So... many... cats...!"

Vader: What's wrong with so many cats? You've seen so many clone-splosion before and you still afraid of cat-splosion??

Wait, if Star Wars is now in the Dwarf Fortress universe, obviously the Sarlac is the tentacle demon, but what does that make the Huts, and the Ewoks?

[Duke 2.0]

Kobolds.

[tigrex]

The first person to build the Death Star in DF out of obsidian, with a huge magma cannon, will be legendary.

[Rutilant]

Slugmen and kobolds, obviously.

[Kidiri]

Firstly, I'll need an embark the size of a small moon. Then we'll talk again. Oh, and one of those computers NASA uses.

 Of course it needs to be held up by a single support. This support is only accessible by a vent with no covers on it.

 Although I suppose collapsing it would be beyond even NASA computers.

Nah, just disable cave-ins in the init. Until some rebels come along and drop something in said vent. Then save, re-enable and load.

[Firnagzen]

Less I'm remembering wrong, NASA uses old computers. Old reliable's better than new flaky, in their opinion.

Now, a meteorological computer on the other hand...
