In the seriously awesome world of Star Wars there is so much going on that it might as well be a reflection of the real world. Aside from all the amazing action, romantic plots and twists and moments of comedy, you have deep intellectual, political, and economic discussions about their world that would take a lifetime to sit down and fully understand.

At least it would if you tried to pick everything up by sitting down and watching each movie countless times. But thankfully that kind of commitment is no longer necessary, for the internet has much to offer in the way of information, and even more so when it comes to Star Wars trivia. So we wrangled a few of the lesser known facts that you might have missed and put them together in this list to fuel your phantom menace curiosity. So sit back, open your mind and may the force be with you.
