Melissa Kurtz was born in North Carolina, USA and played a jawa in A New Hope. Her father, Gary Kurtz, is the producer of A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back. Melissa was eleven years old when A New Hope was filmed and probably because of her father she and her three years younger sister got to play jawas.

Jawas are meter-tall scavengers living in the desert on Tatooine. They scurry around like rats completely hidden behind rough robes and with glowing yellow eyes.

Despite the impression that they are everywhere there ar no more than eight jawas in the movie (and in the credits).

Draft scripts of A New Hope often swapped the names of General Tagge and Admiral Motti and maybe that is the reason for that in the end credits for A New Hope, General Tagge is mistakenly named Commander Taggi.

Until 1993 he was just known as the "bartender" but a roleplaying game supplement identified him as Wuher. Prior to that, a 1989 boxed set of metal miniatures called him "Cedo Partu", but that name just never stuck.

The only ewok who died on screen was shot and killed by a laser blast from an AT-ST. An ewok named Romba, who had been fighting alongside this ewok, stayed behind and wept over his fallen comrade.
This unidentified Ewok is often referred to by fans as "Corpsey".Author Ben Harper attempted to assign the name Lana to this Ewok because he thinks it sounds like that's what the other Ewok is saying as he prods the body to see if he's okay.
