* TheDeterminator: Faced with an appalling early cut of the film, ILM failing to produce the special effects, and the Fox board of executives threatening to pull the plug, Lucas was in a position that might have made any other director decide to cut their losses and stop. Instead, he became determined to ensure, hell or high water, that his movie would get released.

Added DiffLines:

* LoopholeAbuse: Exploited by Fox. Only ''forty cinemas'' nationwide agreed to show ''Star Wars'' on its May premiere date. In order to ensure it got out, Fox insisted that cinemas wishing the book the more anticipated ''The Other Side of Midnight'' had to book ''Star Wars'' as well.

Added DiffLines:

* PermanentPlaceholder: Invoked. Like David Prowse, Anthony Daniels said the lines on set. The production knew they needed to do something about Threepio's voice, and auditioned some thirty prestigious voice actors like Stan Freberg. Eventually it was decided to simply use Daniels, as his voice was already synced with his body movements and he was able to develop the voice of an over-the-top British butler.

* RaceAgainstTheClock: Late in principal photography, Lucas was told by Fox that they needed to finish shooting the film in ''one week'' or they'd be shut down. Gary Kurtz tried to argue that hiring another crew would cost just as much as just going another week, but Fox was adamant that meeting the date deadline was more important than the money. The crew ended up breaking into three units in order to get all of the remaining footage.

Added DiffLines:

* ThrowItIn: InUniverse. Irvin Kershner and Harrison Ford share how the iconic "I love you." "I know." exchange came to be. Han's reply was originally "I love you too," but neither Kershner nor Ford felt it fit the character. After multiple takes, Kershner told Ford not to think about it and just say whatever came naturally.
