Two big movies will be released this weekend: Sisters, starring Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, and “a little indie movie you probably haven’t heard of called Star Wars.” Sure, going up against The Force Awakens may have just been studio oversight, but it could also be a kind of kismet for Fey. After all, Liz Lemon regularly dressed up as Princess Leia on 30 Rock to get out of jury duty (“I don’t really think it’s fair for me to be on a jury because I’m a hologram”) and even wore the costume when she walked down the aisle (“It’s the only white dress I own”). Whether there’s some sort of cosmic connection or not, we took the opportunity to find out more about our favorite Star Wars fangirl. Here, five things you likely didn’t know about Tina Fey.

1. Tina Fey’s 30 Rock character, Liz Lemon, is actually a nod to her given name of Elizabeth. (Tina comes from her middle name, Stamatina.) Super fans might have noticed that there was even an Easter egg in the NBC show’s fifth season, in which she riffs on various female names, ending in her own. Amy Poehler calls her BFF by the nickname Betty, which is short for Elizabeth. “And I would also like for The Times to call me Betty,” Fey said in a recent profile on the actresses. “Betty the first time and the second time, Mrs. Betty.”

2. The scar visible on Fey’s left cheek is a result of a violent incident that occurred when she was 5 years old. “It was in, like, the front yard of her house, and somebody who just came up, and she just thought somebody marked her with a pen,” Fey’s husband has said. “This is somebody who, no matter what it was, has gone through something. And I think it really informs the way she thinks about her life. When you have that kind of thing happen to you, that makes you scared of certain things, that makes you frightened of different things, your comedy comes out in a different kind of way, and it also makes you feel for people.” As for Fey, she doesn’t like to discuss the trauma: “It’s impossible to talk about it without somehow seemingly exploiting it and glorifying it,” she said.

3. The comic has long joked about her painfully uncool youth, and dedicated quite a number of 30 Rock flashbacks to the subject. Fey has even admitted on the Late Show with David Letterman that she was a virgin until she was 24 years old—“Couldn’t give it away,” she said—and that the only person she has slept with is her husband. “That’s just good Christian values,” she said. “Or being homely.”

4. Remember the episode of 30 Rock where the writers find out that Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) used his perfect elocution to do voice-over work for pronouncify.com? Well, it turns out Tina Fey has her own version of that story line. When she was just starting out as an improv comic at Second City in Chicago, she, along with fellow 30 Rock star Scott Adsit, did voice-over work for a pinball machine called Medieval Madness. She used her best Elly May Clampett to voice the British and German princesses for the game. “And that was the only time Jeff [Richmond, her husband] has kind of hinted that maybe I should talk like that all the time,” Fey once said. Remember that other 30 Rock episode when Liz Lemon’s audition tape was revealed? (“My name is Liz Lemon, and I am represented by Suzanne’s B+ Talent.”) Well, that probably was at least partly derived from her ’90s commercial for Mutual Savings Bank.

5. When Lorne Michaels wanted to take Fey out of the writers room and put her on camera for Weekend Update, he faced some opposition. Hollywood agent Sue Mengers told Michaels, “She doesn’t have the looks.” Fey said that the stress of her position on SNL contributed to her weight gain. “I was a size 12 when I came to the show, and then I was really dealing with my stress with Krispy Kremes,” she told People in 2004. Fey reportedly lost 30 pounds before taking over Weekend Update in 2000.
