Other mistake: Before Uncle Owen yells for Luke, if you look very closely, a fly can be seen on the lens (best seen on the special edition release). The fly was removed in the 2019 release.

I own this on VHS, DVD, and Blue Ray.
Probably the single most influential Sci-Fi movie in history, kick starting the single most influential Sci-Fi movie series in history. The start of a legend in this break out blockbuster of the millennium. Well crafted, well written, and a whole galaxy of characters and potential.
The film isn't flawless, but it paved the way for two superior direct sequels, 3 underwhelming but overly unfairly hated prequels, a continuation of side stories and distant sequels, an innumerable amount of books and comics, and a ton of fun video games. There hasn't been anything so impactful in cinema since, and may never again.
Mistake Status: Have not looked, might in the future but not sure I can find anything new. But up for the challenge.

Darth Vader: I find your lack of faith disturbing.
Trivia: When Alec Guinness was offered the part of Obi-Wan Kenobi he was offered about $25,000 to play the part. After reading the script he was one of the few cast members who believed that the film would be a box office hit; he negotiated a deal for 2% of the gross royalties paid to the director, George Lucas, who received one fifth of the box office takings. Guinness made over $3,000,000, making him very wealthy in his later life.

Answer: Presumably because the monster has pulled him through the lair of whatever they are standing on into whatever space the rest of the body of the monster lives in. Obviously, the monster doesn't live in the part of the part of the compactor that does the compacting or it would be already compacted.
