Why is Star Wars filmed out of order?

Originally Answered: Why are the Star Wars movies not numbered in the order in which they were released? Simply put, Lucas made the movies out of order.

What does the Outer Rim mean in Star Wars?

Did the empire control the Outer Rim?

Tatooine (one of the Outer Rim planets), in the prequels, was under the control of the Hutt Cartel, not under Republic rule. But by Episode IV, the Empire had obviously brought it under its rule. So in at least one case, the answer is yes, the Galactic Empire controlled that Outer Rim planet.

Where does Leia say the rebel base is?

Dantooine
When Princess Leia Organa was held captive on the Death Star, Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin threatened to destroy her home planet of Alderaan if she did not provide him with the location of the Rebellion’s secret base. Organa then lied to him, stating the base was still on Dantooine.

Why did Leia lie about Dantooine?

She was too faithful to the cause to do something like that. She also knew that Dantooine had already been evacuated so it would have been the perfect place to distract Tarkin from blowing up Alderaan. So in conclusion, yes, Leia was intentionally lying.
