What's left behind the scenes

  • J.J. Abrams named the planet Kijimi after a Japanese synthesizer.
  • Initially, George Lucas thought about filming 12 episodes, but later reduced the number to 9 and stated that the only characters to appear in all 9 episodes would be the droids. That is exactly what happened. Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, the only ones to appear in all the films of the original trilogy and the prequel trilogy, were absent from the sequel trilogy. Only Anthony Daniels, the actor who played C-3PO, appeared in all nine episodes.
  • The first film in the series shot on 65mm film.
  • Colin Trevorrow was originally intended to direct the film, but due to creative differences with the studio, he stepped down as director while remaining as a screenwriter; he was replaced by J.J. Abrams, who had already worked with LucasFilm on the seventh episode of the saga, 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens'.
  • Including his holographic cameo in 'Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back,' Palpatine is the most prominent villain in the Star Wars universe to appear on screen six times.
  • Adam Driver (who played Kylo Ren) performed all the stunts himself.
  • Anthony Daniels, who played C-3PO, is the only actor to have appeared in all 9 official Star Wars franchise films (not to mention numerous spin-offs). He began with an appearance in the very first film, "Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope" (George Lucas, 1977).
  • Along with a cameo role as a hologram in the film "Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back," Palpatine is the most famous villain in the Star Wars universe, appearing on screen six times.
  • The snake was 25 meters long, making it the largest animal created for the film. A puppeteer inside the snake operated it.
  • The Babu Frik doll was only about 23 cm tall, but was so packed with electronics that it took 7 people to operate it.
  • On November 25, 2019, news appeared that the film's script had surfaced online. An actor (later revealed to be John Boyega) allegedly forgot the script under a bed when moving to another room. During cleaning, the script was discovered and an attempt was made to sell it on eBay. Director J.J. Abrams confirmed that 'Disney' and Lucasfilm bought it back.
  • Originally, Colin Trevorrow was supposed to direct the film, but due to creative differences with the studio, he left the director's post, remaining as a screenwriter, and was replaced by J.J.

  • Dominic Monaghan, who played Kin, joined the cast of the film after winning a bet against his friend and director J.J. Abrams. Abrams, who was one of the scriptwriters, wrote the role specifically for Monaghan.
