Speaking of ol' Ben Burtt, can anyone confirm if this bit of trivia I just stumbled across is true or not? Ben Burtt originally tested for the part of Luke Skywalker in Star Wars. Something tells me that's just too strange to be true, but hey, I found it on the internet so there's at least a slim chance it's right.
