U.S. & World History – A little known fact about the multi-billion dollars Star Wars franchise, is how one of the leading actors got their name for the films. He was initially suppose to play a character that had elongated arms, which would be so long, that he could touch his toes while standing up, without bending over. When he inquired to the director about the physical abnormality, they decided not to do it. So, in the films, the actor’s arms were the normal length, but what he said in his original question got him his famous name, when he asked, “why are my ‘hands so low?’”
