Doing this again ‘cause the other one was so fun.

{S3}

Coran’s space pirate outfit was actually made by the actor himself. He also made the paladin suit.

Lotor’s actor actually knew how to fight with a sword since he took lessons when he was younger in order to get a role in a show. He didn’t get it, but he liked it so much he continued training in his free time.

Narti’s actress actually has tiny slits in her mask that allow her to see what’s happening in faraway/action shots. For close-ups, her face is completely covered and she can’t see anything.

The producers and writers allowed the paladins to do multiple takes on how they think their characters would react to hoping to be chosen as the new Black Paladin in “Red Paladin”. They all ended up making it into the show.

Lance had multiple lines for flirting with the Blue Lion, but ended up going with “Are you from outer space, because your body is out of this world!” because that was his best line.

The generals broke out laughing after the cameras cut when Zethrid yelled “Bring the pain!” and did the angry twerking move in “The Hunted”.

She tried various moves just to see what would make the generals laugh

Hunk asking what kind of food Pidge wouldn’t mind eating forever was ad-libbed.

The paladins nearly broke character when they heard Sven speak in “Hole in the Sky”, and afterwards they joked that Shiro’s actor had a secret triplet he never told them about.

They weren’t told that Shiro’s actor would be back that season, so their shocked faces at seeing him are them being genuinely surprised.

Shiro’s actor called “The Journey”, “Shiro Suffers”

Since season 1, the group actually started a “Shiro jar” on set where they drop money in for every time Shiro is put into a perilous situation.

While they do have stunt doubles, the generals try to convince the director to let them do their own stunts. All throughout “Tailing a Comet”, was all the actors and no doubles.

Yes, even Shiro’s haircut got a few teasing remarks from the cast themselves, but Shiro’s actor defends himself saying that he really liked the new look.

Shiro’s actor was genuinely saddened when the black lion wouldn’t respond to him, and one take he can be heard muttering, “My lion’s not responding to me…”

Allura’s actress barely managed to drag Zethrid using her bayard during one take, but she couldn’t do it after that.

In “The Legend Begins” all of the original paladins and the new paladins took a picture together after they were done filming.

Honerva was played by Haggar’s actress niece, Zarkon’s actor had his brother play his younger self.

The hardest scene for Zarkon’s actor to do was sitting by Honerva’s bedside and watching her slowly go mad. It’s worse when Zarkon and Haggar’s actors are married in real life.

{S4}

Keith’s actor had a hard time filming during “Code of Honor” when they were shooting the no gravity scenes where he’d need to jump from place to place. He ended up feeling a little sick afterwards.

Lance’s line “Razzle-dazzle” was ad-libbed because he thought laughing with delight wasn’t cutting it and the writers decided to keep it. His actor admits that when they start shooting scenes of the paladins putting on the show’s he listens to “Razzle Dazzle” from Chicago to get pumped up.

Pidge couldn’t help humming “The Imperial March” when she put on the dark cloak during “Reunion”

Pidge’s actress had to take breaks when filming the graveyard scene, admitting it was hard for her to imagine ever losing her brother. The paladins hug her offset when she goes to them for comfort during that episode.

Pidge and Matt’s actors had to be separated for a week and were not allowed to contact each other until they filmed their reunion scene so it felt more genuine for the two.

Matt’s actor once accidentally broke his staff when he was supposed to slide into it and hit the bounty-hunters whips, and he also slipped into it in other takes.

In “Black Site” Matt and Pidge’s actors had to stop filming the scene where Hunk gave them milkshakes after a few takes because they got a brain freeze.

Matt and Shiro changed their nickname form “Ker-Bros” to “Scar-Bros” after they reunited. They even jokingly held a competition of who looked better with the scar.

There are plenty of jokes between Lotor and Zarkon’s actors, but after Zarkon was placed in his new armor, the Vader jokes increased.

The writers originally had a scene where Lance and Allura attempt to bond over the video game, but when they brought Kaltenecker back, Lance proved that he could actually milk the cow and pointed out the Alteans would have no idea where the milk comes from. The writers ended up rewriting the whole scene.

All of the paladins had a blast with “The Voltron Show!” and they were surprised to see some of their ideas brought to screen.

Pidge was the one who suggested “Voltron on Ice” because she used to skate when she was younger.

Allura was the one who thought of having Voltron talk.

Shiro had to do multiple takes with Coran because he kept laughing at the “put on this super tight shirt” line.

Coran added in the line, “Help me Bi-Bo-Bih, you’re my only hope!” at behest of his children who are Star Wars fans.

The entire group have their own nicknames for the Bi-Bo-Bihs, ranging from “wormies”, to “breadsticks”

After season 4, the whole cast got their own personalized Bi-Bo-Bihs.

As Keith’s actor filmed for the scene in “A New Defender”where he attempts to break the force-field, when everyone was allowed to view it, the paladins were screaming so loudly that afterwards they piled onto Keith’s actor, saying that they loved him and don’t want him sacrificing himself.

Acxa’s actor was told where she and the other generals were going, but was not allowed to tell anyone else. So far, she’s driven half of the cast up the walls when they ask where the generals were going to end up.
