To avoid disturbing wildlife, the filmmakers decided to incorporate puffins into the scenes set on Ahch-To in Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Puffins living on the island of Skellig Michael, where some of the Ahch-To scenes were filmed, could not be removed or edited out, so the filmmakers opted to include the puffins naturally in shots instead of trying to remove them.
2. Do, do not, or try.
Just be wary of negatives. :)
3. Q1
There are two connections between X and Star Wars.
One, in 1977 - when Star Wars premiered - X was used for the very last
time in the case of one Hamida Djandoubi, who killed his former lover,
Elisabeth Bousquet.
Two, the last time X was used publicly, in the case of one Eugen
Weidmann, a then 17 year old Christopher Lee was present in the
crowd spectating this.
What is X?

“It was so strange. I could tell it’s me, but it’s also definitely not me,”
says one Ingvild Deila. While she was only on screen for about 15
seconds, her appearance was much discussed and appreciated. But
that wasn't the only time Star Wars has done this. In the same movie,
they also cast an actor by the name of Guy Henry.
Put funda - what were Ingvild Deila and Guy Henry roped in for?
5. Q3
Named after Antoine Marfan, Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a genetic
disorder that affects the connective tissue. Those with the condition
tend to be tall and thin, with long arms, legs, fingers, and toes. The
lungs, eyes, bones, and the covering of the spinal cord are also
commonly affected.
How is this relevant to Star Wars?
6. Q4
Prior to the release, George Lucas showed a rough cut to a group of his
movie director friends. According to Lucas, this version still contained a
lot of stock footage in place of special effects and did not make a lot
of sense. Most people in the room hated it and told GL he was making
a mistake. The only dissenter was X, who predicted that the film would
be "the biggest movie of all time" and make millions of dollars.
After the release, even George Lucas was so sure this movie would
flop that he went to Hawaii with X, where they came up with the idea
for another famous film franchise. ID X and the film franchise in
question.

8. Q6
"JJ [was] f**king around with this sound effects app on his iPad that was
attached to a talk box operated by me. It looked ridiculous but it made
X's voice. At first I tried doing a voice, but we all agreed it sounded too
human." says Bill Hader.
How were he and Ben Schwartz involved in the making of the sequels?
9. Q7
A fan theory explains the reason for this thematic decision as:
"[This is] to deliberately show the watcher how close he is to letting his fear
and hate overwhelm him.
Luke suffers. He suffers hate for his father who cut his arm off. He suffers
angst for Obi-Wan who lied to him about his true heritage. He suffers the
fear that his sister Leia will be Palpatine's next target. He is angry. And most
of all, he fears that all will be lost."
What is the thematic decision, and how is it affected at the end of the story?
10. Q8
It's established that they're currently in hiding after some sort of
genocidal event perpetrated on them by the Empire - with only one of
them allowed out of their underground base so they're able to maintain
a low profile. This line encapsulates their code in order to survive. It's a
short reminder that while times are tough, it's necessary to preserve
their way of life.
What line?
11. Q9
Fans were quick to notice this inconsistency. While some wrote it off as
an over-the-top boast, others came up with theories that were
confirmed in the expanded universe and a later movie.
The explanation offered was this: the path travels around “The Maw,” a
cluster of black holes. To cut down on the distance traveled, pilots
could dangerously skirt the edges of the black holes, while trying to
avoid spaghettification. The power required to stay out of the gape of
an event horizon is, therefore, something worth bragging about.
What inconsistency? Put funda.
12. Q10
Although he played the role of X in the original trilogy, albeit in a
certain manner, David Prowse had his voice dubbed over by Y because
of his strong West County accent. At Y’s request, he was uncredited for
Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back as he didn’t want people to
associate him with a movie which he thought would be a flop. X would
go on to become Y’s most famous roles.
ID X and Y.
13. Q11
This scene in Episode V is actually inspired by a Native American trick.
According to legend, a hunter named Hugh Glass (whose story was
dramatised in the movie The Revenant!) had killed a bear despite being
mauled severely, in the American frontier. He was abandoned by his
fellow frontiermen, and had to crawl hundreds of miles to safety. On
the way he became trapped by a sudden blizzard.
What did he do to stay warm and safe until the storm had subsided?
14. Q12
In the 2004 DVD release, George Lucas explained the reason behind
this decision. Lucas had consulted with a child psychologist during the
making of the film. The psychologist said that unless X was
unequivocally stated, moviegoers age twelve and under would dismiss
it. He decided to go through this when the actor playing Y stated he
personally didn't believe X no matter how many explanations he was
given.
ID X and Y.
15. Q13
“You know, I, I heard this way of watching the movies called the X
where you watch Episodes IV and V, then skip Episode I, watch II and III
as a flashback, and then finish with VI.”
What show character popularised this order of watching the Star Wars
movies?
16. Q14
When filming in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, X kept
imitating the noise of the lightsaber during his fights. George Lucas
explained many times that this would be added in by the special
effects people later on. X said "I keep getting carried away."
ID X.
17. Q15
Some of the scenes set in Ahch-To had to be shot on an island called
Skellig Michael in Ireland, which was a wildlife reserve and was filled
with puffins. Since the puffins could not be removed from the reserve
or edited out feasibly,
What was the decision made by the filmmakers?
