Audio problem: After the buzz droids land on Obi-Wan's starfighter, Obi-Wan says, "I'm hit. Anakin?" As he says, "Anakin?" his head is turned to the side, but you can see that the last word doesn't quite fit his lips or the motion of his jaw. (00:05:10)

Audio problem: When they're standing on the breaking ice, as Peter points his sword at Maugrim, Susan shouts, "Look, just because some man in a red coat hands you a sword doesn't make you a hero.

Audio problem: More than once Gracie or a member of her entourage is seen watching the distant pirate ship battle from the hotel window. The cannons fire and the blast is heard immediately. In fact, at that range (several thousand feet) there would be a discernable interval between the muzzle flash and the arrival of the weapon report.
