Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)

Trivia: When Han Solo fires shots from his blaster at Darth Vader in Cloud City, the weapon zips into Vader's hand. To achieve this effect, director Irvin Kershner threw the gun across the table and the crew photographed a quick take of the gun flying through the air and then put a string on it, put it in the hands of Darth Vader and pulled it out with the camera upside down.

Trivia: Boba Fett has only 5 lines in the entire film.

Trivia: The Rebel soldiers seen in the trenches during the Battle of Hoth were played by skiers from the Norwegian Mountain Rescue. As a thank you for their service as extras, the production company Lucasfilm donated to the Norwegian Red Cross.

Trivia: The sound of the Tauntaun is the down-pitched sound of an Asian sea otter.

Trivia: This is the first film where we hear the Imperial Star Destroyers get referred to by their name. Although we see a Star Destroyer in the first Star Wars movie, it's not actually named.

Trivia: Acting is a collaboration, which made the Dagobah scenes difficult for Mark Hamill. For the most part, he was alone: R2-D2 was remote-controlled, and Frank Oz was beneath the sets. Furthermore, he could not hear most of Yoda's lines.

Trivia: Sir Alec Guinness agreed to appear in this movie late in filming, and performed his scenes in a single day.

Trivia: Mark Hamill broke his thumb during filming of the scene where Luke makes it out of his snowspeeder just before it is crushed by an Imperial walker in the Battle of Hoth.

Trivia: "The Imperial March" - also known as "Darth Vader's Theme" - sounds strikingly similar to the 1932 song "My Woman" by Lew Stone and his Monseigneur Band.

Trivia: Peter Mayhew was ill during one day of the filming and director Irvin Kershner shot scenes with a replacement. But without Mayhew in Chewbacca's costume, the Wookiee's body language looked wrong and the footage was subsequently scrapped.
