George Lucas is a miniature - maker as much as he is a theatre director , which explain why we know what to call half the things in the Star Wars universe .

AT - At , the Sith , A - Wings , and Ewoks . We sleep with what they are — through the prequels , the toys , and the extended universe — but they ’re absolutely never called those thing by name in the original film . For that matter , the existence of the “ light ” side was a total inference on our part , since only the obscure side was refer . And before Darth was a title for Really Evil Guys , it was just Vader ’s first name .

Star Wars also stomach from the Casablanca problem of being always misquoted but hey , “ No , I am your don ” does n’t have the same snap to it .
