Sound designer Ben Burtt created the lightsaber sound by mixing the hum of a 35mm movie projector with the feedback generated by passing a stripped microphone cable by a television. Indeed, here is a set photo of Cushing in his slippers. “He consented kindly, and I was allowed to stomp about looking very cross as ‘Grand Moff Tarkin’ for the rest of the picture in carpet slippers!” Cushing recalled. According to Cushing, he approached Lucas after the first day and requested that he only be shot from the waist-up. Peter Cushing, the veteran thespian who played Imperial Governor Grand Moff Tarkin, only filmed for five days on Star Wars, but couldn’t bear wearing his character’s knee-length boots (Cushing’s feet were a wide size 12, so the boots were very tight). A cowboy in a starship-simple, sentimental and cocksure of himself.” 3, Lucas had nailed down the character of Solo, describing him as, “A tough James Dean-style starpilot about twenty-five years old. In the second draft, Solo was a Jack Sparrow-esque space pirate, but by draft No. In Lucas’s 132-page The Star Wars: Rough Draft, completed in ’74, Solo is described as a green-skinned alien with no nose and giant gills. Han Solo was based on Lucas’s wise-crackin’ pal, director Francis Ford Coppola, but the director originally intended him to be an alien. “I just think, thankfully, of the lovely bread, which will help me keep going until next April even if Yahoo collapses in a week…” The cast’s dialogue troubles were confirmed by Carrie Fisher, aka Princess Leia, who told me, “None of us knew what we were saying.” And Harrison Ford famously remarked while shooting, “You can type this shit, but you can’t say it.” “… new rubbish dialogue reaches me every other day on wadges of pink paper-and none of it makes my character clear or even bearable,” he wrote to a friend. Another of Guinness’s letters came from the set of Star Wars.
