I know that Ewoks started as Wookies. That was true long long ago. I hadnt heard the rest, but then, you can never tell how much bullshit the new folks will claim was old.

Regardless, I got my 3 movies, and Indy 1/2/3 and I'm happy.
In 40 years they've had 2 1 minute scenes that I enjoyed.
1. When Han turns to Chewie on the Falcon and says "Chewie, we're home"
2. When the x-wing flys across the window on the boba fett show.
It took o.o1 seconds for me to say it's Luke!

I've listened to "The Secret History of Star Wars" audiobook several times on Youtube, and it's quite informative. It seems that Lucas always had a head full of wacky unworkable ideas that he probably would've put in the films if he wasn't held back by more level headed people around him. One such wacky idea was to have both Obi-Wan and Yoda return back to life in the final confrontation with the Emperor! In other words, no good guy would permanently die in his world. Only bad guys die and don't come back! What with that and his ideas on talking mitochondria, I think it would've totally sunk the movies if he'd put it in. On the other hand, most of what the fans and general audiences love about the movies appear to have been invented by people like Ralph McQuarrie, Joe Johnston and John Mollo. Those films were a real mish-mash of the talents of numerous highly skilled artists, all working together to create concepts. For example, The Snowtrooper from ESB was mostly designed by Johnston. Mollo was then responsible for making the real life costumes.

The fact that the costumes were designed by enthusiasts with a military mindset, made the finished items look far more authentic, as if they were truly designed for the battlefield. The same with most of the OT props, that were cobbled together from real life military and industrial equipment. The AT-ST wasn't even anything to do with Lucas whatsoever. Lucas wanted war machines inspired by War of the Worlds for the Battle of Hoth, so Johnston designed the AT-AT, with some input from Phil Tippett, whilst the AT-ST was thought up and designed by Joe Johnston almost on a whim!

I can tell you for a fact, that the blaster sound really was from a guy whacking a radio tower guy-wire with a hammer; because as kids, we snuck into a local radio station tower and spent an afternoon taking turns hitting the support cables with a hammer until the police ran us off.

Sound was spot on perfect
