Star Wars

Luke pilots an X-Wing fighter along a channel on the space station's surface. As he's about to release a torpedo, three Imperial fighters led by Vader come in behind and target him. Just as Vader is about to fire, Han and Chewbacca fly in and blast one of the fighters. Vader's ship is clipped by the other fighter and spins out of control into deep space. Luke fires the torpedo and hits the target. The Death Star explodes. In a grand ceremony, Princess Leia awards Luke and Han medals for their efforts.

Continuity mistake: When the Gold Leader says to the Red Leader, "Red Leader, this is Gold Leader," at the start of the Battle of Yavin, the two Y-Wing fighters outside his cockpit suddenly disappear. This was fixed in the 2004 version. (01:46:05)

Trivia: When Alec Guinness was offered the part of Obi-Wan Kenobi he was offered about $25,000 to play the part. After reading the script he was one of the few cast members who believed that the film would be a box office hit; he negotiated a deal for 2% of the gross royalties paid to the director, George Lucas, who received one fifth of the box office takings. Guinness made over $3,000,000, making him very wealthy in his later life.

Question: During the trash compacter scene, Luke gets sucked under by the one-eyed monster thing, which leads to Han and Leia trying to find him. But if the water's only about knee deep, why is it so hard for him to be found?

Answer: Presumably because the monster has pulled him through the lair of whatever they are standing on into whatever space the rest of the body of the monster lives in. Obviously, the monster doesn't live in the part of the part of the compactor that does the compacting or it would be already compacted.
