Corrected entry: After the Death star, the stick that is used to move the Millennium Falcon is visible when the first TIE fighter attacks it.

Correction: That's the stick used to control the Tie Fighter, not to move the Falcon.

Star Wars (1977)
Corrected entry: I'm not a specialist in audio equipment, but when the Jawas are transporting R2-D2, one of them has what I think is a microphone in his pocket.
Correction: Jawas are Junkers, meaning that he could be carrying just random junk.
9th Jan 2005
Star Wars (1977)
Corrected entry: When Luke, Han and Chewbacca enter the detention block, the officer at the control panel stops working and turns toward them. He repeats that in the following shot. (01:14:00)
Correction: In the first shot, he only turns his head. In the second shot, he turns the rest of his body.

Star Wars (1977)
Corrected entry: Watch in slow-motion when Alderaan explodes: it looks as if it's an explosion superimposed over a planet image. There's also a strange thing moving on the upper left corner. It looks like a reflection of the explosion on something.
Correction: Per site guidelines mistakes that require stop or slow motion to view are not considered valid mistakes.
16th Feb 2004
Star Wars (1977)
Corrected entry: While they are escaping from the detention block, Leia says something like "Into the garbage chute, flyboy," but Han is still wearing the stormtrooper uniform, so there's no way that she could have known he was a pilot.
Correction: She could have also been using "Flyboy" sarcastically in the sense that Han was attempting to rescue her without a good plan (on the fly, so to speak).
3rd Mar 2004
Star Wars (1977)
Corrected entry: In the control room in the Death Star, there's a rack with 4 guns but later, there are only 3.
Correction: There are 3 because Han takes one of them. When he first enters the control room he is carrying a standard imperial blaster rifle but when Han and Luke is taking Chewie down to the detention block Han is carrying a much larger weapon that looks like the ones on the rack.
29th Nov 2003
Star Wars (1977)
Corrected entry: In Mos Eisley's streets, when a group of stormtroopers passes in front of the door where C3P0 and R2D2 are hidden, a flying droid passes through the shoulder of one of them.
Correction: Although it hovers right next to the stormtrooper's shoulder it never passes through it.
3rd Aug 2004
Star Wars (1977)
Corrected entry: When the stormtroopers breaks into the Blockade Runner, the explosion leaves a lot of debris on the floor, but when Lord Vader arrives a little bit later, there is much less debris.
Correction: The debris would have been moved by all the personnel (rebel soldiers and stormtroopers) moving about. Also, there are a lot of dead bodies, these would cover up a lot of debris.
Correction: Also, since it is implied that the stormtroopers moved the bodies out of the middle of the hallway (since we see them lined up on the side rather than sprawled out in the middle), they probably also moved any debris that was in the hallway out of the way as well.
1st Mar 2004
Star Wars (1977)
Corrected entry: There's no stars in the sky during many shots of the Death Star's hangar.
Correction: This is a matter of perspective since it is very bright in the hanger, it is quite logical that one could not see the stars from back inside the hanger.
14th Jan 2004
Star Wars (1977)
Corrected entry: When C3PO and R2D2 escape from the Blockade Runner, the engines of the escape pods are facing the ship, but they can see the ship from a window too.
Correction: Might be a very sharp viewscreen as opposed to a window.
8th Nov 2003
Star Wars (1977)
Corrected entry: This mistake is for all the original trilogy. The Millenium Falcon has its cockpit on the side and not in front of the ship, so you should be able to see the side of the ship from within, but you can only ever see space.
Correction: The front bulkheads of the Falcon angle away from the cockpit enough to be out of the forward field of view. It wouldn't be a very good design if the body of the ship obstructed its own pilot's visibility.
16th Sep 2003
Star Wars (1977)
Corrected entry: When the kind of humanoid fly tells to the stormtroopers where is Luke, Obi-Wan and the droids, he knocks his face with his hand, like someone wearing a mask, and it bends.
Correction: That is a mask. Check his profile on www.starwars.com/databank.
26th Aug 2003
Star Wars (1977)
Corrected entry: After they escape from the Death Star, Luke and Han go to the firing room to attack the TIEs. Look at the ladder: it is vertical. When Luke enters, he moves as if it was horizontal.
Correction: The gun turrets have independent gravity wells.

Correction: Just loaded up the scene on YouTube. That's literally just a part of the TIE fighter. It's not attached to the Falcon at all, and moves with the camera. I feel like this had to have been uploaded as a joke, because if you watch the scene, it's laughably obvious that it's not attached to the Falcon.
