Dr Wilson

Revealing mistake: When C3PO is carrying a dead Jawa to the funeral pyre, it looks like it doesn't have a head, legs and arms. It's like a costume stuffed with a pillow. (00:41:45)

Dr Wilson

Revealing mistake: When Wedge leaves the Death Star trench, the green screen is visible behind him for a few frames. (01:54:38)

Dr Wilson

Revealing mistake: When Luke and Leia are trying to escape the Death Star and they are stopped in front of the chasm, the stormtroopers shoots on the door, but you can see the pyrotechnic charges and the explosions are not where the laser touches the door.

Dr Wilson

Revealing mistake: In the Death Star, when Chewbacca and Han arrive in the hangar, the shadow of Luke and Leia waiting for their signal is visible.

Dr Wilson

Revealing mistake: When Ben and Luke are transporting C3P0 after the attack of the Tusken Raiders, the arm of Anthony Daniels, the actor that plays the droid, is visible during the transition to the next shot showing Ben's house.

Dr Wilson

Revealing mistake: When Greedo is threatening Han in the Cantina, there's a black object behind him. When Han shoots him, the object is smaller and some round things appear on the wall. It's visible in the screenshot of the dummy Greedo. (00:50:10)

Dr Wilson

Revealing mistake: Special Edition. When Han is speaking to Jabba in the hangar, when they are talking about the percentage, or something like that, Han says that 20% is too much. When he says that, his sleeve passes through Jabba's arm.

Dr Wilson

Revealing mistake: When the Millennium Falcon exits from hyperspace where Alderaan was, a TIE fighter follows them. There is a shot where it passes in front of the Falcon and then disappears.

Dr Wilson

Revealing mistake: When the Millennium Falcon is attracted to the Death Star, there is a frontal view of it. At the end of that shot, the sky under the ship becomes suddenly bright and you can see the stick used to move it.

Dr Wilson

Revealing mistake: In the Death Star, when Han is screaming and chasing some stormtroopers and enters a room full of them, some are cardboard.

Dr Wilson

Revealing mistake: When Luke and C3PO are outside of the farm searching for R2D2, a droid passes in front of them. You can see lines in the sand, either to keep the robot in a straight line, or where the wheels of the robot have gone in earlier takes. (00:26:50)

Dr Wilson

Revealing mistake: At the beginning of the film, when the Blockade Runner is shot at, some of the lasers seem to pass through the star destroyer.

Dr Wilson

Revealing mistake: Many times during the film, when someone shoots with a blaster, the shot does not come from the gun. A good example is in the detention block of the Death Star. Luke shoots and the laser comes from 10 centimeters over the gun. Special edition.

Dr Wilson

Revealing mistake: When Luke and Leia are trying to pass the pit in the Death Star, Leia shoots at a stormtrooper. The shot passes through him without hurting him.

Dr Wilson

Revealing mistake: After they free Princess Leia, other stormtroopers make the door explode to enter the detention room. You can see that the door is pre-cut.

Dr Wilson

Revealing mistake: When Luke, Han, and Chewbacca attack the prison of the Death Star, in one shot, the end of the corridor is in a slope while it is supposed to be horizontal. (It looks to me like it's actually a flat panel painted to look like the corridor. The angle looks perfect for the opening shot of them entering the prison floor, it just looks "off" for any other angle.) This is fixed on DVD.

Dr Wilson

Revealing mistake: On the Death Star, before Luke and Leia try to cross the pit, Luke shoots a panel to close the door. Firstly, he shoots beside it, and secondly, after it explodes, no electronic components are visible in it.
