In the scene where Zett Jukassa (the young padawan) saves Bail Organa from the clones, he kills 3 clones, but when he goes to kill the fourth, the clone flies back before the lightsabre hits him. This is better seen in slow motion. [What would you do if a lightsaber came toward you? You'd try to avoid it. That's what the ILM people (the troopers are cg) had the clone do. He tries to avoid it but gets cut 'cause he isn't quick enough.]

Keisha Castle-Hughes, from "Whale Rider", can be seen in this movie as the queen of Naboo during Padme's funeral. Her scenes took one day to film. [She's in the credits - this is not valid trivia by any stretch of the imagination. And as she only appears in very few shots in one short scene, it's hardly worthwhile to point out that it could all be done in a single day.] Corrected by Tailkinker In the opening scene where Anakin and Obi-Wan are flying to General Grievous's ship, a clone commander says, "All fighters follow me in." When he says that, his mouth doesn't move. [No such line is uttered in the opening battle. The only lines uttered by clone pilots, where you actually see the clone, are: "We're on your tail, General Kenobi.", "Set S-foils in attack position.", and "They're all over me. Get them off my-". All of them have corresponding lip movement.] When Beru is showing the baby (Luke) to Owen, in the shot facing them, Owen straightens almost fully up. In the beginning of the next shot, he's still crouching, but he's crouched down more than in the previous shot, best seen from the height difference between him and Beru. [There could be a few seconds or less between the two shots; it doesn't take very long to bend down.] In the meeting between Yoda, ObiWan and Bail Organa, Yoda keeps swivelling his chair towards Bail or ObiWan but his legs aren't long enough to touch the ground and he doesn't touch any buttons to swivel it. [Are you familiar with the force? Because Yoda sure is and for one as strong in the force as him, it would be a very small feat to swivel that chair and make it look completely effortless.] In the scene where the Emperor declares that "the Republic will be reorganized into the first Galactic Empire", his hands change position between shots twice. [There is plenty of time between shots for the Emperor to move his hands.] This appears in all light sabre battles. Why is it that the only thing a light sabre can't go through is another light sabre? aren't light sabres just a focused beam of light? And why do light sabres reflect blaster shots? ?They are just a laser as well. [This is not a mistake, but how the filmmaker (Lucas) decided that this completely fictitious weapon should work. If you really want to know, submit this as a question, or simply go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightsaber for all the info you would ever need on lightsabers.] Corrected by Twotall After Yoda kills the two clone troopers on Kashyyyk, as the shot ends, his lightsabre is slanted to the right. In the next shot, it is pointed almost straight upwards. [Yoda is not going to stand there like a statue, he will probably adjust the position of his lightsaber slightly.] When Padmé is lying on the "bed" at the medical centre at Polis Massa, she changes position a few times – her head moves up/down the black "pillow". [I have never known anyone that could lie perfectly still while giving birth. Especially since its twins, I think this is a plausible occurrence.] General Grievous takes a big risk in breaking the bridge window exposing it to space knowing that his boss, Lord Sidious, was also on the bridge and could possibly be sucked out before the shield closed. [Still, this is a character decision and not a plot hole. Grievous also knew that Darth Sidious would be able to take care of himself, and that the Jedi (not knowing Palpatine was Sidious) would do anything to protect the Chancellor, even sacrifice themselves, if need be.] Corrected by Twotall After fighting against Sidious, Yoda leaves. His lightsaber is lying close to him on the floor when he lands (the shot before his cloak drifts onto a pole) but he doesn't take it. Why on earth would he leave it? [Just because we don't see him taking it, doesn't mean he left it there.] When Anakin, Palpatine and Obi-Wan are hanging in the elevator shaft, the elevator comes rushing towards them, forcing them to jump. How did the elevator activate? R2D2 wasn't around (he was in the heap of droids) and at the top of the shaft, after fighting Dooku, the elevator was shut down. [The droids on the ship were operating the elevator.] In the opening shot, the Starship is the only thing floating above the entire surface of Coruscant. However, when the two Jedi starfighters fly underneath the Starship, the entire planet is covered with ships, missiles, lasers, and there is fighting everywhere. [That ship is the very thing hiding the fighting, giving it that overwhelming effect.] In Episode II, in the fight between Anakin/Obi-Wan and Count Dooku, Anakin's arm is cut off well above the elbow. The first time we see the arm in Star Wars III, in the apartment of Anakin and Padme, the mechanical arm ends just under the elbow. [You can never fully see how much of his arm was cut off in episode II, as he is wearing his baggy Jedi outfit. So he could have lost it just under the elbow.] When Beru is showing the baby (Luke) to Owen, in the shot facing them, Owen straightens up. In the next shot, he repeats this movement. [He doesn't straighten up completely in the first shot, he is still crouching a bit. When it cuts he is still crouching, then he straightens up fully while putting his arm around Beru. So it's not the same movement.] Corrected by Mortug
When the vulture droids are approaching the Jedi starfighters, Obi-Wan says, "Let them pass between us." As he stops talking, his mouth is still moving. [This isn't true. Watch closely. It appears so because he shows his teeth after saying it for some reason.] In the first shot of the scene where Anakin tells Mace Windu that Palpatine is a Sith lord, Kit Fisto and Agen Kolar are standing still, but in the next shot, they are suddenly walking. [Time passes between shots, and judging by the distance they have covered between shots, no more than two seconds need to have passed.] When Padmé is talking to Anakin on Mustafar, she says, "Come away with me." In the next shot, both of her hands are touching his head, but in the previous shot, only one of her hands were touching him. [With Anakin's head in the way and from that angle, it is impossible to say if she raised her second hand to touch his head or not. The next shot implies that she did, so she did, and hence, no mistake.] On Grievous' ship, after Anakin unlocks Palpatine's cuffs and after Palpatine says, "Now we must leave before more security droids arrive," Anakin can be seen following Palpatine while still gripping his lightsaber. In the next immediate shot, his saber is clipped to his belt. [Look at Anakin's position in the shot where he's holding the saber and his position when he has it clipped on his belt. Dooku's corpse will help. Enough time for him to have clipped it between shots.] During the opening space battle, Anakin's and Obi Wan's microphones alternates between being in front of their mouths, their chins and their necks. [And what's wrong with that? We see them being misplaced every time the ships are hit or shake or tumble or spin, they simply moved the microphones around between shots. The shots of a movie aren't supposed to be all that happens. They're supposed to be bits and pieces of what happens. Little things we don't need to see (like the heroes placing their microphones in front of their mouths) happen between shots.]
