* AlanSmithee: The first film's credited writer, Joseph Howard, is actually a pseudonym for Paul Rudnick, who took his name off it after it was heavily rewritten (it would, ironically, go on to be the most financially successful film that Rudnick ever worked on). The finished product was written primarily by none other than Creator/CarrieFisher, but she didn't want credit either, resulting in Rudnick opting to use a pseudonym in lieu of his actual name.
