In Master Yoda's early appearance creation, his descriptions were variable, one being a huge alien, another being a short stature. The direction of miniaturization was finally adopted. The concept painter began to design according to the image of the goblin. In the original story outline, Yoda's full name was Minqi Yoda, and in the first draft, he was even called Minqi.

So there is the famous line: "I know".
When Han Solo drove the Millennium Falcon across the Howth asteroid belt, some of the asteroids flying around were actually potatoes, and one of them turned out to be a shoe. It is said that the reason is that Lucas asked the special effects staff to redo the scene over and over again, and annoyed one of the staff, so he simply threw a shoe in.
In the original design of the Battle of Hoth, the main battle weapon of the Empire looked like a tank, with tracks and wheels. Dennis Mullen and Joe Johnston persuaded George Lucas to switch to freeze-frame shooting, which eventually led to the abandonment of the tank design, so the four-legged Imperial Walker AT-AT was set up.
