| 1 | His daughter Drusilla Mary MacLeod passed away on April 1, 2007. Shaw's ashes, which had been retained by family, were scattered over her grave later that year. |
| 2 | Had worked on stage, and was very good friends with fellow Star Wars cast member Ian McDiarmid. He was also very unfamiliar with Star Wars when he was cast, and was not aware that his friend McDiarmid had been cast. When they ran into each other while doing their respective make-up tests, McDiarmid asked what he was doing there, to which Shaw replied, "I don't know, Ian. I think it's something to do with science fiction.". |
| 3 | Served in the Royal Air Force in World War II. |
| 4 | (1980s) He had a brief relationship with Harriet Ravenscroft, mother of celebrated disc jockey John Peel. |
| 5 | Had a daughter, Drusilla (1932-2007), from his marriage to Margaret Delamere. |
| 6 | In a 1987 interview, he revealed that, while under consideration for Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983), he was not informed about the role of Anakin Skywalker until the producers were certain that he would be playing the character. Because the role was being kept a secret during production of the movie, he was under contract not to disclose it to anyone. He honored that deal, and after the film's release, he was finally permitted to talk about his role. Despite the fact that the role was only two minutes long with only 24 words of dialogue, Shaw enjoyed the experience which earned him legions of young fans and found having an action figure made in his likeness oddly flattering. |
