Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi

Audio problem: When they are fighting on the smaller skiffs above the Great Pit of Carkoon, Luke beckons to Leia to get her to swing on that rope with him to safety. He says "come on", but his mouth never moves.

Audio problem: When Vader is talking to Moff Jerjerrod in the beginning of the film, he says, "Perhaps I can find new ways to motivate them." As he says the last two words, Jerejerrod's mouth is moving as if he were talking, but nothing is heard. (00:04:00)

Audio problem: After landing on Endor, Han says, "This whole party will be for nothing if they see us.", but his lips hardly move. (00:55:10)

Audio problem: When Lando is inside the Death Star we see a shot of him scraping the side of some metal. Then he says "That was too close." His voice has the same echo applied to it as the sound effects in the narrow metal tunnel. For unknown reasons this mistake wasn't even fixed in the DVD.

Audio problem: When the Death Star is about to explode, Admiral Ackbar says, "Move the fleet away from the Death Star.", but his lips don't move. (01:57:30)

Audio problem: In the beginning of the space battle, a Mon Calamari says, "Admiral, we have enemy ships in Sector 47.", but his lips don't move. (01:31:15)

Audio problem: When the group in the shuttle Tyderium is waiting tensely to see if the clearance code is accepted, Han says, "They're not going for it, Chewie." If you look closely, you can see that when he stops talking, his mouth is still moving. (00:54:00)

Audio problem: After R2-D2 gets shot, Leia says to Han, "I'll cover you.", but the words don't match the movement of her lips. (01:39:00)

Audio problem: When the shuttle Tydirium is approaching Endor, look closely when Han says, "Fly casual" - he begins to say the words before his lips start moving. When he stops talking, his mouth is still moving.

Audio problem: In the desert after Luke starts putting his rescue plan into action, Han says "Boba Fett", before hitting him unintentionally. He immediately says "Boba Fett" again. It is the same sound, looped.

Revealing mistake: In many of the scenes taking place in outer space, if you look closely you can see polygon borders surrounding space vehicles (X-Wings, Star Destroyers, and even the Death Star) indicating the objects being superimposed into the outer space background. [This mistake may only apply to the Blu Ray version.]

Trivia: When Oola the dancing girl (with those two things growing out of the back of her head) is trying to get away from Jabba, she briefly falls out of the top of her costume. It isn't as visible in the letterbox version, but quite visible in the regular version.

Question: Who is Luke talking about when he covers up his hand and says that he has a promise to keep to an old friend? Who is the old friend?

Tyler R

Answer: Yoda. When he was departing for Cloud City to save his friends in the previous film, he promised Yoda that he would return to Dagobah to complete his training.

Phaneron

OK. But I thought he was talking about the holeish thing in his hand since he covered it up when he said it. I must have misunderstood it.

The hole in Luke's robotic hand reminds him that he got that robotic hand in the first place because he lost his duel with Darth Vader at Cloud City - a confrontation Yoda warned him he was not ready for.
