May the Fourth Day 2019

Yes, it’s May the Fourth day again and Star Wars fans will be either turning to the dark side or embracing ‘the force’

In celebration of this annual day, here are 10 facts you might not know about a film so popular that it spawned its own religion.

10. Opening Credits

No CGI back in 1977, so the opening credits were filmed on a six foot long plate of printed text and the camera slowly paned down. This worked wonderfully and goes to show you don’t need fancy computers to make a special effect.

9. Yoda

The Jedi master, Yoda was originally supposed to be played by a monkey with a mask & cane.

8. Species I am

Speaking of Yoda. His species has never been named.

7. Darth Vader

David Prowse, the actor who played Darth Vader, has been banned from attending Star Wars events, apparently as he annoys George Lucas.

6. I am your Father

Darth Vader never says “Luke, I am your father.” – This line is never spoken in a Star Wars film, what is actually said is: “No, I am your father”.

5. Han Solo

Among the top contenders to play Han Solo were Burt Reynolds, Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson, and Christopher Walken.

4. Bad Feeling

The phrase “I have a very bad feeling about this.” is in every single Star Wars movie.

3. No Equality

There are no female fighter pilots. Even though female fighter pilots were in the original screenplay, they were removed from final cut.

2. Constants

The only characters that appear in all the films are C3PO and R2D2

1. Good Investment

The original Star Wars film is the third-highest-grossing film of all time, raking in close to $2 billion when adjusted for inflation

What Is a Soft Quote?

A soft quote is a simple, no-obligation way to explore your loan options without affecting your credit score.
When you request a soft quote, we assess your financial profile and give you an estimated rate, repayment amount, and loan term based on current lender options.

✔️ No credit file impact
✔️ No commitment required
✔️ Instant comparisons across multiple lenders

It’s ideal if you’re still shopping around or just want to understand what your repayments might look like.

What Is a Full Application?

A full application is the next step once you’re ready to proceed.
This involves submitting your information to the lender for a formal assessment. The lender then completes a credit check, verifies your documents, and provides a confirmed interest rate and loan offer.

✔️ Required for formal approval
✔️ Involves a credit check
✔️ Can lead to same-day approvals (depending on the lender)

What Affects Your Loan Rate?

Lenders consider several key factors when determining your personalised rate and terms. These include:

1. Your Profile

Credit history, employment stability, and income all play a major role in the rate offered. A clean credit file and steady employment can often lead to lower rates.

2. The Asset

The type, age, and condition of the asset (car, caravan, horse float, etc.) can influence risk and therefore the rate. Newer or higher-value assets often attract better rates.

3. Loan Term

Shorter terms generally mean less total interest paid, while longer terms may offer lower weekly repayments but higher total cost.

4. Fees

Every lender has their own structure for establishment, monthly, and exit fees. iCREDIT helps you compare these upfront so there are no surprises.
