I remember seeing a presentation on Star Wars about a year before the film was released at a science fiction convention. I asked the publicist afterwards about the soundtrack music. He said that they had just signed up John Williams to do an orchestral score, but had considered earlier having all the music created on the instruments invented by Harry Partch. Now that's a road not taken for American culture! See and hear Partch's instruments here:

But do they also show Guinness actually throwing the punch? There's what I want to see.
Also, if they happen to have any footage of the time Alec Guinness supposedly gave Mark Hamill a dollar to go away and stop bothering him, that would be awesome.
