Star Wars

Easter egg: When you insert any of the 6 movie DVDs in the Star Wars saga, once the FBI screen pops up (red in Episodes I, II, IV, V, VI; and blue in Episode III), enter a number between 1 and 3 (and press Enter if needed). Once the Star Wars logo and the Episode number disappears, a menu with the planet that you chose (and not what the DVD randomly chooses) will load.

Easter egg: In all the Star Wars movie discs, and the bonus materials discs with them, when the red screen with the big word "Attention" appears after the FBI screen, you can actually disable all the menu transitions by pressing 1 (and if needed, Enter) when it comes up.

Easter egg: On the 4th Bonus disc of the Star Wars Trilogy DVD set select the "VIDEO GAMES AND STILL GALLERIES" option. Type in 11 ENTER, 3 ENTER, 8 ENTER. A yellow box will appear behind R2-D2, Select it to watch DVD credits with Bloopers/Outtakes.

Other mistake: Before Uncle Owen yells for Luke, if you look very closely, a fly can be seen on the lens (best seen on the special edition release). The fly was removed in the 2019 release.

Question: During the trash compacter scene, Luke gets sucked under by the one-eyed monster thing, which leads to Han and Leia trying to find him. But if the water's only about knee deep, why is it so hard for him to be found?

Answer: Presumably because the monster has pulled him through the lair of whatever they are standing on into whatever space the rest of the body of the monster lives in. Obviously, the monster doesn't live in the part of the part of the compactor that does the compacting or it would be already compacted.
