Some of the dialogue for the Death Star attack scenes were taken directly from "The Dam Busters", a WWII movie depicting the Allied attack on a heavy water producing German controlled damn that required specialized weapons to be delivered in a highly specific attack run.
- rjsw 9y agoThe dams didn't have anything to do with the production of heavy water, they just provided power for factories in the Ruhr area.
- simplicio 9y agoAh your right, apologies. I was getting Operation Chastise (an attack by specialized bombers on the Ruhr valley hydroelectric dams and the subject of the movie) confused with Operation Freshman (an attack by commandos on a German controlled dam in Norway that produced heavy water).
