Princess Leia rescue scene had to be re-shot

A character name change led to a key scene being re-shot in 1977 Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope

A character name change led to a key scene being re-shot in 1977 "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope". Mark Hamill revealed that the famous Princess Leia rescue scene from 'A New Hope' had to be re-shot because his name was changed from Starkiller to Skywalker.

"The name change to Skywalker came late enough in production that we had to re-shoot the scene where I liberated the Princess from her cell," Hamill tweeted. "We had already shot it using the original line: 'I'm Luke Starkiller, I'm here to rescue you!'"

George Lucas had named Skywalker as "Starkiller" in early drafts of the screenplay. Carrie Fisher, who died in December 2016, played Princes Leia in the franchise.
