    It never crossed my mind that Luke wanted to join the Imperial Academy. That'd be an epic Star Wars What If?

      @mr.kenthappyface746 Před 4 lety +5

      the deleted scenes elaborated that biggs darklighter joined the imperial academy and afterwards defected to the rebel alliance. That might've been luke's plan as well.

      Yes. One example was the head-bumping stormtrooper in A New Hope, which was not named until after Disney purchased Star Wars. In a selection of Disney short stories called "From A Certain Point of View", the head-bumping stormtrooper was known as TD-110.

    As Pablo Hidalgo pointed out on the Star Wars Show last week, "Tantive IV" is pronounced "Tan-tiv-ee" Four, with the name having three syllables, as per the radio drama.

      @rocketcon Před 7 lety +14

      Barry Evans I have always called the Blockade Runner the Tan-teev 4 and will continue to do so. Many characters within the Star Wars universe pronounce names differently (LeeAh/LayAh), so there is no "correct" way to say it. It's just like Tomayto/Tomahto.

      Interesting note: they were only featured in that scene where Chewbacca enters the Falcon cockpit for the first time. Their next appearance wouldn't be until The Last Jedi when Luke looks at them with reverent nostalgia.
