The Cruachan Dam in Scotland was chosen as a filming location for the planet Aldhani in "Andor"not just for its imposing presence, but because production designer Luke Hull felt it resembled Darth Vader's mask, symbolically linking the Empire's oppressive influence to its most fearsome enforcer. This striking concrete structure served as the backdrop for the Imperial garrison in episodes four and five, reinforcing the series' theme of the Empire's blight on the landscape. Hull aimed to use a tangible, real-world setting to craft a unique Star Wars planet, illustrating how the Empire's ruthless infrastructure mars and exploits every world it touches.

The production team selected the Cruachan dam due to its resemblance to Darth Vader's mask, a deliberate choice to visually link the imposing presence of the Empire to the surrounding landscape.

Tupac Shakur was reportedly in the running for the role of Mace Windu in "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace", but tragically, he was gunned down on September 13, 1996, during the film's casting process. In a recent interview with 2Pac-Forum, Rick Clifford, former chief engineer at Death Row Records, shared that Tupac was set to audition for George Lucas, expressing excitement about playing a Jedi. "He was telling me that he was supposed to read for George Lucas and them. They wanted him to be a Jedi. Yes, I’m serious.", Clifford revealed. He also noted that Tupac had been discussing his film aspirations, mentioning he had three movies lined up, including a potential audition with Lucas. Before his untimely death, Tupac had already made a mark in film, starring in movies like "Poetic Justice", "Juice", and "Gridlock'd". Interestingly, Lucas had initially considered making Mace Windu younger before ultimately casting Samuel L. Jackson.

Driver revealed to the Associated Press in an interview published Oct. 20 that he spent two years developing a standalone “Star Wars” movie centered on Ben Solo alongside director Steven Soderbergh. The film would have taken place after the events of “The Rise of Skywalker.” According to Driver, Soderbergh worked on the script with his “Logan Lucky” scribe Rebecca Blunt and longtime collaborator Scott Z. Burns (“Contagion,” “The Informant!”). Driver starred in Soderbergh’s “Logan Lucky” and Burns’ “The Report.”

“I always was interested in doing another ‘Star Wars,’” Driver told the AP. “I had been talking about doing another one since 2021. Kathleen [Kennedy] had reached out. I always said: ‘With a great director and a great story, I’d be there in a second.’ I loved that character and loved playing him.”
