Han Solo was supposed to die in Return of the Jedi, but he was saved by toys! Yes, toys.

Han Solo was supposed to die in Return of the Jedi, but he was saved by toys! Yes, toys.

Everyone knows that Star Wars is one of the biggest movie franchises in history, but few are aware that the story is much different than it was initially planned to be.




A New Hope was intended to be a standalone movie, but the studios insisted on at least one sequel.




Intending for it to be “bittersweet and poignant”, Return of the Jedi was supposed to be much darker. Han Solo, one of the film's most popular and enduring characters, was supposed to die halfway through the movie, which would end with Luke Skywalker walking off alone “like Clint Eastwood in the spaghetti westerns”, according to former Star Wars producer Gary Kurtz.




By that time, however, the studio was making three times the amount of money on toys than they were on the popular movies, and George Lucas didn’t want to kill off any of the principal characters.




So we got Ewoks instead.
