4. France Was Still Executing People When Star Wars Came Out
Back in the old days, France was a firm believer in capital punishment. When was a person executed last in the country? The final execution by guillotine was conducted on September 10th, 1977. It was during those days when Star Wars hit the theaters. It was the month of May of the same year when the human rights commission had compelled the French government to do away with execution and from that day since the French state has not sentenced people to death.
