Original Title: TIL in the original 1977 Star Wars the Death Star countdown for destroying Yavin 4 (the big threat in the trench run scene) was not in the shooting script, but was created during an edit by Marcia Lucas to add more tension. It was achieved using voiceovers, re-purposed shots, and inserts.
