Corrected entry: Han is handcuffed when he is frozen in Empire Strikes Back, but he is not when Leia frees him.
Corrected entry: In the scene where the Admiral of the rebel fleet indicates that the ships should wait for his signal before entering hyperspace to go to attack the death star all of the ships make the jump immediately.
Correction: He probably used a computer signal that was broadcast to every screen in the fleet at one time, not an auditory command that you may have expected. There was also probably some kind of computer link up to make sure they went to the same place at the same speed or else faster ships would get there earlier or facing the wrong way in space or something. On "his mark" could have meant a computer command that fed all of this info straight to the ship computers. He told them that he would give them a signal, he did, then they left.
Corrected entry: Because of the angle of the rope that Luke and Leia take to escape from Jabba's ship, they shouldn't be able to swing as far as they do. (01:34:50)
Correction: Due to Luke's connection to the Force, he may have used the Force to swing himself and Leia all the way onto the skiff.
Corrected entry: When Han was frozen in carbonite in "The Empire Strikes Back", there were straps around his upper arms, which were not removed before he was frozen, like the handcuffs were. But when he's unfrozen this film, the straps are gone. (00:18:25)
Correction: Already listed and corrected. The Ugnaught guards can be seen removing all his constraints before he is frozen, both handcuffs and these straps.
Corrected entry: When Oola the dancing girl is trying to get away from Jabba, we can hear her talk, but her lips don't move. (00:13:00)
Correction: There are several dozen people in the Throne Room. It looks more like Oola is only busy trying to free herself, while someone else, quite possibly the large dancing girl, is the one who is trying to plead for her life.
Corrected entry: When the technicians on the new Death star are preparing to fire, they look suspiciously like stock footage of the technicians preparing to fire the old Death Star in Star Wars, only reversed.
Correction: What else is it suppossed to look like? It's the same procedure, and should look the same.
Corrected entry: When Han was frozen in carbonite in "the Empire Strikes Back", his arms were bound by a leather strap. But when he is unfrozen, his arms are free. (01:18:25)
Corrected entry: When the Ewok steals the speeder to distract the stormtroopers (first time code), he gets on it, starts it up and takes off at a high enough rate of speed that he is left dangling horizontally from the handlebars. In an earlier shot (second time code), however, we see that the throttle for these bikes is a foot pedal which he couldn't have reached in the first place. How did he get this thing moving? (01:28:30)
Correction: The throttle was in the handlebars which they twisted to make it go faster, while the gear shift was in the foot pedals.
Corrected entry: After Han is released from the carbonite, he is blind, but when he turns around to face Jabba, he moves his arm to avoid Leia's head. (00:19:30)
Correction: Because he knows how tall she is and that she is standing right next to him.
Corrected entry: When Vader throws his lightsaber at Luke during the duel, watch in slow motion: in the first shot of Luke, the blade is coming out of the wrong end of the hilt.
Correction: On closer inspection, the blade comes out of the correct end the entire time.
There's already an entry about that with a picture.
Corrected entry: When a damaged Rebel ship is heading towards the bridge of a Star Destroyer, an Imperial officer begins to run for cover, as does Admiral Piet--immediately afterwards. In the next shot, Piett is further away from the window of the bridge than in the previous shot.
Correction: That is because he is running away!
Corrected entry: When Luke is on Jabba's skiff, he gets shot in his bionic hand. If you watch in slow-motion, you will see that his hand sparks before the laser even hits it. Also, the laser is heading for his wrist, but the sparks explode from higher up.
Correction: This does not appear to be a mistake. There are actually many examples of this happening in the Star Wars movies. This suggests that the blaster bolts have two components; the visible part of the bolt and a faster, invisible part of the bolt.
Corrected entry: When the Rancor eats the pig guard he bites his own hand.
Correction: The rancor is what we would consider "primitive". He's probably a messy eater, and probably bites his hand a lot.
Corrected entry: I think that this is only on the Special Edition version. What is that annoying little black spot on the left side of Emperor Palpatine's face? This takes place while the Emperor is sitting on his throne and talking to Luke (he is looking out of the window) about his friends failure. It is like this error on the side of his hood that the restoring people forgot to edit out.
Correction: The shadow that can be seen on either side of Emperor Palpatine's eyes are caused by an insert matte. The eyes are actually those of a monkey.
It's a black shape that covers the eyelight of the hood. It was digitally covered in the Blu-ray.
Corrected entry: During the battle on the skiff, Luke kicks the air and his opponent a few inches away falls back.
Correction: The creatures take the handcuffs off him just before the carbonite is poured in - when there is a close-up of the frozen Han, at the end of Empire, his hands are visible, partly raised and sticking out of the carbonite. He is in the same position when Leia frees him in Jedi.
