lazypadawan1) Luke was homeschooled, partially out of necessity—there’s no Tatooine Desert Farm Unified School District—and partially for Luke’s protection. Beru, who was quite smart, did most of the teaching. Owen taught him all of the “practical” arts, including mechanical repair, and taught him how to drive hovercraft vehicles at a very young age. Luke is of course a natural with non-ground vehicles.
2) Darth Plageuis did not create Anakin, though those prankish midichlorians would be more than happy to make him think he did.
3) Palpatine was kind of like Damien from those Omen movies; everybody around him as a boy somehow dies mysteriously. Palpatine is a wealthy orphan by the time he’s 10. A mysterious tutor moves into the family manse, none other than our buddy Darth Plageuis. Plageuis’s Sithly visions led him to Palpatine and it was his projections of the Dark Side that prevented the Jedi from ever finding out about this Force-sensitive “talent” as a child.
4) That was Jar Jar exclaiming “Weesa free!” at the end of the DVD cut of ROTJ. Jar Jar was a spy during the Rebellion. Imperial forces didn’t take him seriously enough to suspect him of doing anything. He felt it was the least he could do after his role in giving Palpatine emergency powers and after Padme’s death, for which he blamed himself to some degree.
5) Han Solo is never sure of who he truly is. He’s not even certain his birth name was actually “Han Solo.” He has no idea what his true age is and for years he never celebrated his birthday. Chewbacca insisted on birthday celebrations, so Han picked a date from one his many fake ids.
6) Not really a “head canon” thing as it is an obscure pop culture reference, but in more than one fic I’ve written, the characters drink cherry wine. This is from an ‘80s top 40 hit, “We Don’t Have To Take Our Clothes Off” that features the line, “We could dance and party all night/And drink some cherry wine, uh huh!” I always thought this was kind of funny because the only cherry wine I’ve seen are of the Mad Dog or Manischewitz varieties. But it’s all over the place in the GFFA, especially on Naboo and Alderaan ;).
7) What did Anakin and Padmé have with dinner and her seven blossom bread in that CW episode “Senate Spy?” Cherry wine!
8) Padmé is actually a fairly good cook.
9) Anakin and Padmé sometimes sneak out in disguise together while on Coruscant. Sometimes Padmé disguises herself as one of her own decoys/handmaidens. They purposely choose the worst-lit establishments in which to meet or hang out.
10) Leia on the other hand, couldn't cook for a long time. Never had to. The woman could burn cereal. She got better at it, eventually.
