Now that the saga is over (or at least the numbered films), let’s look back at some of the fun and cool ideas that didn’t quite make it into The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, or The Rise of Skywalker. Here are the top 10 unused Star Wars sequel trilogy ideas. 10 Ideas George Lucas Wanted To See In The New ‘Star Wars’ Movies 10 Han Solo The Drunk While Han Solo is undoubtedly the most lovable scoundrel in the galaxy, his introduction in The Force Awakens would have been drastically different in this story line....

This means pay in cash – always (unless you own an anonymous credit card), shred any documentation you do not need (use a decent shredder that turns your paper in to dust – authorities can piece together the basic type of shredded documents). Don’t use your real name if possible, and definitely don’t apply for credit. Your credit report is like a big map pointing right to you. If you are going to be using the internet in your secret lifestyle, you should do everything you can to secure yourself online....

A) Have a nickname with significance (no shortening of their name etc). B) The nicknames for the person were not made up by the same person. C) All nicknames had to be earned in some way, whether through derogatory or positive actions. With that in mind I found the following and believe their actions have earned them a spot on this list. The Red Baron is probably the most well-known on this list....

Poor Edward Braddock always gets a drubbing for his mismanagement of the Monongahela Campaign. But the French and Indian War saw an equally stupid disaster perpetrated by James Abercrombie, who wasted thousands of men in a futile assault against Fort Ticonderoga in July 1758.

Quotes 1 – 5 A government is the most dangerous threat to man’s rights: it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims. Ask yourself whether the dream of heaven and greatness should be waiting for us in our graves – or whether it should be ours here and now and on this earth. Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage’s whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe....

Crocodiles Eat Stones The stomach of a crocodile is a rocky place to be, for more than one reason. To begin with, a croc’s digestive system encounters everything from turtles, fish and birds to giraffes, buffaloes, lions and even (when defending territory) other crocodiles. In addition to that bellyful-o’-ecosystem, rocks show up too. The reptiles swallow large stones that stay permanently in their bellies. It’s been suggested these are used for ballast in diving....

Here are ten ways that human remains have been embellished. 10 For the Love of God There is a common motif in European art that some have found a bit macabre. Memento Mori are artworks designed to remind viewers that death is coming for us all. Painters have long included skulls in their works to underline the transience of human life. Damien Hirst decided to go a little further in his piece For the Love of God....

These efforts turned out to be very interesting because the individuals writing down the “facts” were listening to people who often hadn’t seen the animals themselves. Even when writing about animals that should have been familiar to the authors, mostly folktales and beliefs were recorded. After the fall of the Roman Empire, these odd ideas about animals became “common knowledge” for over a thousand years. Here are some of the “facts” that were widely accepted, though we doubt that anyone would believe them now....

The key word here is “well-executed,” which is not something that can describe all April Fools’ Day follies. In fact, many of them are rushed, lazy, unoriginal, or just terrible ideas to begin with and they have a tendency to blow up in the pranksters’ faces. 10 The End Of The World Back in 1940, William Castellini was listening to a Jack Benny radio program when he got an idea....

10Momcilo GavricSerbian Army, World War I Known as the “Serbian Knight,” Gavric enlisted in the Serbian Army at the age of eight after Austro-Hungarian forces slaughtered his entire family.

He left his home, which had burned down, and caught up with the 6th Artillery Division of the Serbian Army, telling them his story and how he wished for the lives of his family to be avenged....

10Volapük On a sleepless night in 1879, German Catholic priest Johann Schleyer felt a divine presence telling him to create a universal language. Designed to be easy to learn, it featured a simple system of roots derived from European languages so simplified as to be unrecognizable from their origins. Volapük spread through the middle class rapidly and was seen as a useful international tool of communication in a period before American economic domination sealed the status of English as the lingua franca of Europe....

Remember The Exorcist? Scary, right? The priests have to go through a whole litany of just the right stuff to say, in order to irritate the demon until it leaves. It can take months. Not if you have faith, of which Jesus had quite a lot. This particular demon-possessed man can still be explained as a possible mental illness, probably schizophrenia, as he calls himself, “Legion, for we are many....

However, the making of these movies can be just as interesting and sometimes just as scary as the movies themselves. So here are 10 behind-the-scenes facts about some of the most popular horror films. 10 Real Bees Were Used in Candyman Every single bee seen onscreen in Bernard Rose’s Candyman (1992) is real.

In fact, some of the greatest games of all time began their life as something entirely different. 10Halo Was A Real-Time Strategy Game . . . For The Mac Considering that Halo ended up being a first-person shooter that launched Microsoft’s Xbox into the stratosphere, its origins couldn’t be more bizarre. If you want to go back to the very beginning, developer Bungie claims that Halo was originally supposed to be a sci-fi, real-time strategy game....

10 Upward Sun River Remains In 2010, archaeologists unearthed the charred remains of a three-year-old around Alaska’s Upward Sun River site. The child had been cremated in a cooking pit and interred in a shallow grave before the family moved on. The burial was dated to 11,500 years ago.

Warning: Many of these stories are not for the squeamish. 10 The Vengeful Catch In 2016, Tanzanian fisherman Robert Mwaijega, 47, and a few friends had spent the day catching a healthy number of perege, a fish native to Tanzania, many of which were still alive and flopping about on the basin by their feet.
