Trivia

Yoda was not in the original film, but George Lucas decided to add him when he realized it was the right character to confirm that Vader is Luke's father.

In the battle of Endor many of the ships that were part of the background are actually "chewed-up gum". The crew knew there was so much action going on that people would not notice this things.

Hayden Christensen says he didn't know exactly what is it that George Lucas wanted when he shot the scene that was added to the film in the Special Edition. He says that if he had known his performance would have been totally different.
