The Internet hype around Star Wars: The Force Awakens brought to mind the most unusual and fun gossip about various parts of Star Wars. However, rumors have always been an integral part of this popular movie saga.
Here rating of interesting rumors about Star Wars. One of them appeared after Lucasfilm announced the seventh episode.
7. Christopher Walken will play Darth Bane
Darth Bane is the Dark Lord of the Sith in Star Wars books, comics, and video games. It was he who introduced the rule that there should be only two Sith Lords: a teacher and a student. When the prequel trilogy was filmed, fans demanded that Darth Bane appear in it. And once the entertainment site Ain’t It Cool News (AICN) published an article confirming that Darth Bane would be in the “Attack of the Clones” and played by his famous actor Christopher Walken.
On the Internet, this news spread like wildfire. Alas, time has shown that the charismatic actor did not appear in the role of the legendary Sith.
6. Jet Li will play Bob Fett
Although Boba Fett does almost nothing in the original trilogy, he is one of the most popular characters in Star Wars. When the prequel to the trilogy was under development, someone started a rumor that Bob Lee would play martial artist Jet Lee.
Of course, Boba Fett appeared in "Attack of the Clones", but he was a small child and it is unlikely that Jet Li could make up so much.
5. Han Solo and Darth Vader will merge into one form of life
Fans wondered if Harrison Ford would appear in Return of the Jedi, or whether he would remain in the role of living ice cream. One of the strangest rumors was that Han Solo would have to fight in lightsaber duel with Darth Vader. And when the rays of their light Sabers intersect, their energy will make Han Solo's life force merge with the body of the Sith. Luke will then be forced to kill his best friend in order to kill Darth Vader.
4. Boba Fett - Luke's mother
After the famous phrase, “Luke, I am your father,” viewers expected something as shocking in Return of the Jedi. After all, no one knew who Luke's mother was before the prequel appeared. Therefore, Star Wars fans have suggested that a woman is hiding behind Boba Fett's mask, and she is the mother of Skywalker Jr. Mark Hamill himself, the actor who played Luke, said in an interview that he would not be surprised if Fett took off his helmet to announce "son, I am your mother."
3. Leonardo DiCaprio will play Anakin
This rumor was partially based on facts. After Jake Lloyd played little Anakin Skywalker in The Phantom Menace, George Lucas looked for a young actor to play the young Anakin.
Lucasfilm did not confirm information about whether Leonardo DiCaprio was on the list of applicants for the role of Anakin Skywalker. Subsequently, it turned out that DiCaprio met with Lucas, but never had serious negotiations with him.
2. Pussy Riot will appear in Awakening Strength
Since the Disney studio announced the production of a new film, “leaks” about plot elements have appeared on various sites. One of the most curious gossip said that in the best film of 2015 there will be a Russian punk band Pussy Riot. The group gained international fame after performing a concert in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior and three of its members went to prison on charges of hooliganism.
It was assumed that the group Pussy Riot in "The Force Awakens" will perform in the cantina.
1. Love Triangle: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Padme Amidala and Anakin
The first place in the top 7 amazing gossip about Star Wars is occupied by speculation circling around the love line between Anakin and Padme. She is one of the main story arches in the Star Wars prequel. Many fans thought that Anakin’s fall to the dark side would happen due to a love triangle. He and Obi-Wan will have to compete for Padme's love.
Other versions of the development of events were put forward, for example, the fact that Obi-Wan was the father of Luke and Leah. Although this seems far-fetched, it was rumored that such a storyline was originally planned and some of its elements remained in the final scenario. In particular, Anakin did not trust Obi-Wan for no apparent reason.
