Chewbacca Almost Died Instead of Obi-Wan on the Death Star - Star Wars Explained #Shorts | Star Wars Explained

Report from the Holocron of Xela. Description: Did you know that Obi-Wan wasn’t originally going to die in Star Wars? During production George Lucas decided the heroes too easily escaped the Death Star. He considered Chewbacca and C-3PO as potential casualties, but decided Obi-Wan was the best choice, since the character didn’t have much to do for the rest of the film, and it would help illustrate the mysticism of the Force. Alec Guinness was initially displeased, but accepted the change after a dinner with Lucas. #shorts --- Subscribe for more Star Wars videos every day! --- Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/starwarsexplain Second channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5KUexDNjIDcGPz4nAY9mBw Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@starwarsexplain Alex on Twitch: https://twitch.tv/alexdamonlive Mollie on Twitch: http://twitch.tv/molliedamon Instagram: http://instagram.com/starwarsexplained Twitter: https://twitter.com/StarWarsExplain Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/starwarsexplained Discord: https://discord.gg/ZPwEnDT Google+: http://goo.gl/Q3gDkY Star Wars Tees: http://shrsl.com/?~9i83 Mailing Address Star Wars Explained 1227 Rockbridge Rd SW Ste 208 PMB 264 Stone Mountain, GA 30087 --- #starwars
