Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith

Revealing mistake: When Yoda knocks Darth Sidious backwards over his chair, you can see the stuntman's hand. Sidious's hands are old and his nails are dark around the cuticles, but the hand during the flip is perfectly healthy and a different size. (01:45:35)

Revealing mistake: When Anakin and Obi-Wan are fighting on top of the table, after Anakin kicks Obi-Wan, we see a wide shot of Obi-Wan hitting the table, followed by a close-up of Anakin charging at him. You can see that the one who comes toward him is not Hayden Christensen, but his stunt double. (01:51:15)

Catwalk

Revealing mistake: When Grievous and Obi-wan are fighting, as Grievous hits Obi-wan making him fly through the air hitting his vessel, it is quite obvious it is a stunt double instead of Ewan McGregor. (01:03:45)

Mortug

Revealing mistake: After the battle between Obi-Wan and Anakin/Darth Vader, Vader lies badly burned on the ground slowly crawling up. Palpatine's shuttle flies by, as seen by a shadow. However, even the lava in the shadow turns dark, like the lava is glowing from an external light source instead of glowing within itself. (00:57:50)

Thierry88

Revealing mistake: Computer generated characters that have light sabers (like Yoda) show a glow on them from their sabers when they are on. All "live action" Jedi do not.

Revealing mistake: When Anakin and Obi-Wan are fighting on the big table, in the wide shot where Obi-Wan kicks Anakin for the second time, you can see that the one who performs the kick is not Ewan McGregor, but his stunt double. When Anakin lands on the table in the next shot, the one left standing is also McGregor's stunt double, and this time he is even wearing a brown bandanna that Obi-Wan does not wear. (01:51:15)

Continuity mistake: On Utapau, when Obi-Wan faces off with Grievous, Grievous sends 4 MagnaGuards against Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan Force-pulls something from the ceiling to crush the droids. But in the ensuing fight between Obi-Wan and Grievous, the ceiling thing and crushed droids are gone.

More trivia for Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith

Answer: Darth Vader has a special chamber in which parts of the suit can be removed for comfort. When he is not in the chamber he must wear it at all times in order to survive.

Answer: Darth Vader does have his own personal chamber made to assist him with the equipment /suit he wears as well as, I'm sure, for resting/meditation purposes. Also keep in mind that Jedi/Sith, especially those trained to use the force (particularly those having mastered it), don't need the same sleep requirements regular folks need. They can "sleep" sitting straight up, on top of much harder elements and they can even "draw" energy from the force to help them stay awake. The expanded universe, via the books, gives more examples of Jedi/Sith sleeping or measures they take.
