Corrected entry: In the French version of the film, when Boussh (Leia disguised) takes Chewbacca to Jabba's palace, Jabba says something and the subtitles reads "Ou l'a eu enfin le puissant Chewbacca". Ou means where. It should be written on (we).

Corrected entry: When R2D2 pushes C3PO outside Jabba's sail, the ropes that pulls the droid are visible.
Correction: There are ropes attatched to the sail barge, but no ropes pulling the droids can be seen.

Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983)
Corrected entry: During the battle on the forest moon of Endor, an imperial AT-ST shoots at two Ewoks but they start to fall before the explosion.
Correction: That's because they're diving out of the way.

Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983)
Corrected entry: Where is the rope attached that Luke and Leia take to escape from Jabba's ship? On a cloud? They shouldn't be able to swing that far.
Correction: It's one of the cables holding the sails in place.

Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983)
Corrected entry: When Boba Fett shoots his lasso to Luke, it goes up, but Luke is in front of him.
Correction: Yes, it goes up in order to fall down on Luke and wrap around him. If it went straight towards Luke it would uselessy hit him in the chest and fall to the ground.

Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983)
Corrected entry: Jabba's eyes are red, but in episode 4, they were red with a yellow iris.
Correction: That film took place a few years prior to this one; who's to say that Jabba perhaps didn't age/get injured/whatever in the time span between films? If nothing else this belongs in episode IV.

Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983)
Corrected entry: When Leia shoots at the stormtroopers with the hidden blaster, she shoot once but they both get shot.
Correction: If you listen properly you can tell that the sound of the second shot is slightly covered over by the first shot hitting the first stormtrooper.

Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983)
Corrected entry: In the emperor's throne room, sometimes the stars move and sometimes they don't.
Correction: According to blueprints published in technical books, the Emperor's throne room is on a tower at the "north pole" of the Death Star. The Death Star was rotating both left and right (or hold position) to get open shots on the rebel's capital ships. This would explain why the stars move sometimes and don't sometimes.

Correction: Subtitles for foreign releases are typically provided by an outside company, separate from the filmmakers, so shouldn't qualify as a true movie mistake. In fact, the French subtitles on the American DVD reads: "Nous avons enfin l'imposant Chewbacca."
