Continuity: When Vader's shuttle is approaching the Death Star, the crew in the control room of the Death Star are wearing black gloves. One of them then reaches forward to press a button, but in the close-up of his hand pressing the button, the hand is not wearing gloves at all. This can only be seen in the widescreen version.

Continuity: When Jabba pulls Leia's chain, there is a long shot as she leaps up onto his throne, and he is holding his wine goblet in his left hand, and pulling her chain with his right. However, in the very next shot (in which he says "Soon you will learn to appreciate me"), the entire frame is reversed. This is evident in Jabba's holding the wine in his "right" hand, his higher-placed nostril (which is normally on the left on his face) is now on the "right," Leia's reversal of her armlet, etc.

Continuity: When Luke is prodded out to 'walk the plank', into the Sarlaac pit, he jumps off the board and springs himself back up. If you watch this in slow mo, you can clearly see that only one hand catches the board and that just by the fingertips, but in the next shot both hands are springing him upwards.

Visible crew/equipment: After the heroes get snared and surrounded by Ewoks on Endor, the Ewoks mistake C3P0 for a god and start bowing. There is one Ewok which only has holes where the eyes and mouth are and you can see the eyes and mouth of the person inside the Ewok costume.

Continuity: When Vader ignites Luke's lightsabre, Luke is standing next to a column. When Vader extinguishes the lightsabre, Luke is standing further away from the column. In the next shot, he is standing next to it again. This can only be seen in the widescreen version.

Continuity: When Lando says, "Fighters coming in," a whole bunch of TIE fighters come towards them. There's initially a lot anyway, but then after about a second, two horizontal lines of 4 fighters appear from nowhere (centre screen, underneath the Super Star Destroyer). They suddenly just pop into existence, large enough that we should have seen them approaching.

Continuity: Just before Luke chops off Darth Vader's hand in the battle at the end of the movie, you can see that the bar has already been cut(the line is visible) to give the illusion that Luke cut through the steel bar with his lightsabre as well as Vader's hand.

Visible crew/equipment: When Han is running from the explosion of the shield generator on Endor, you can see his reflection in the plexiglass that is used to protect the camera from the explosion. Since the reflection isn't of Han's back, the plexiglas must be in front of him.

Continuity: When Lando is hanging over the pit, he has gloves on, then he has no gloves, then they're back and so on.

Revealing: When 3PO and R2 are being assigned to their droidly duties in Jabba's palace, there is a shot of a poor droid having hot irons branding his feet. The irons are never closer than an inch from the droid's feet, and the steam that allegedly comes from the burning is obviously being shot out of holes in the droid's feet.

Trivia: The scene where Vader lifts the Emperor and throws him down the shaft, watch it frame by frame and you can see X-Rays of Darth Vader.
