Star Wars Glitches: Return of the Jedi

Although Star Wars is arguably the greatest movie franchise of all time, the films do have their share of glitches, mistakes, and bloopers. We've added some new ones from Return of the Jedi to the list:

Lando steps into the hall and bumps his helmet on the ceiling.

Does that blaster fall into the Rancor pit with Luke? He never tries to use it.

Shots of Lando and Boba Fett are sometimes reverse images.

If you look closely, you can see Artoo standing free of ropes below the levitating Threepio before the Ewoks untie him.

Star Wars Episode IV Glitches - A New Hope

New glitches added for the first, the original, the best Star Wars film:

Luke struggles to pry out something that's jammed inside R2, setting off Leia's message. Is that supposed to be the death Star plans hidden in the droid? Because that's not where Leia put them.

First Owen says he doesn't know what R2 is talking about when he mentions Obi-Wan Kenobi. Then he says that Obi-Wan is dead. Is Luke buying any of this? More...

Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith Glitches

Before the new Star Wars film premieres, let's take a look at some bloopers from the past:

Most of the things Obi-Wan tells Luke about his father in Episode IV turn out to be true, at least from a certain point of view. Except for that business about Skywalker Sr. wanting Luke to have his lightsaber when he was old enough. If Anakin had any such wish, he couldn't have told it to Obi-Wan since the latter didn't even learn about Anakin's pending fatherhood until after the two Jedi were beyond the point of making friendly small talk.

On a space ship, "down" is determined by artificial gravity. Therefore, if the ship is damaged and begins to tilt, those inside would not begin to slide across the floor; gravity would keep them oriented to the floor, no matter what position the ship was in. The only way our heroes could experience the "Poseidon Adventure" effect would be if the artificial gravity controls malfunctioned. And what a strange malfunction, as the gravity continues to shift a millimeter at a time until everything is upside-down!

"Only a Sith deals in absolutes," cries Obi-Wan, although his statement is itself an absolute.

Star Wars Glitches

Here are some bloopers from the first (and best) Star Wars film.

The Leia hologram says that her mission to bring Obi-Wan to Alderaan has failed. Good thing! If it had succeeded, he would have died with the rest of the planet. What exactly was Leia's plan, I wonder, once they arrived on Alderaan? We'll never know...

When Tarkin discovers that Princess Leia has lied to him about the location of the Rebel Base, he angrily orders Darth Vader to terminate her immediately. Obviously, Vader never complies. He later comments that she may yet be of use. This must be some new definition of the word "immediately."

"Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise" with blaster fire, says Ben Kenobi. Only, Troopers aren't all that precise during the rest of the film. In fact, they miss our heroes quite often.
