----------
A New Hope.
---------

	Lukes cup changes hands very (too) quickly at his Aunt's and Uncles house on Tatooine.
	An alien at the Mos Eisly cantina with a human hand (wearing a white glove). It's the alien with blue skin, red eyes and he is talking to another alien.
	After Luke returns from destroying the Death Star he runs up to Princess Leia and shout's out "Carrie", the name of the actress, Carrie Fisher.
	A small pair of metal dice can be seen hanging in the Millenium Falcon's cockpit when Chewbacca hits his head on them as he prepares to depart from Mos Eisley. They don't appear in any other scenes.
	When R2-D2 and C3po are in the docking bay 327 control room on the Death Star and are discovered by the stormtroopers, the stormtrooper farthest right hits his head on the door when they enter.

----------
The Empire Strikes Back.
----------

	One of the storm troopers unties Han before he is put in the freezing unit in Bespin, watch Han's jacket, it disappears then reappears a few times.
	When the Star Destroyer starts shooting at the asteroids when it's chasing the Milenium Falcon the first asteroid exploded before the laser hits it.
	Right after Luke and Darth fight for the first time, Darth gets kicked off the carbonite freezer. Then Luke jumps down to fight him again. After he jumps, you hear the sound of a trampoline. Then in the lower right screen you can see Mark Hamill's head pop back up.
	In the Hoth Battle scene, when you see from inside the snow speeders the control panel is a bit see-through
	During the Cloud City evacuation scene, an actor can be seen running aound with what looks like an ice-cream maker.
	When Luke is training on Dagobah he is told be Yoda to clear his mind of questions, then Yoda gets off his back and sits in front of a pile of rocks and sits still. Then we see Luke putting on his jacket and we see Yoda again, but now he is sitting on a log next to a blue bag.
	When the Admiral is killed by Vader, because they lost track of the Milenium Falcon, if you watch the background two guards come and take him away. When the guards are picking him up you can see thst he stands up almost on his own.

----------
Return of the Jedi.
---------

	In the battle scene on Endor, some of the Storm Troopers fire and recoil but no laser shots come out of their guns.
	In Jabba's Palace, as they take Han away, watch Lando. Just before he pulls his mask down so we can see who he is, he hits his head on the doorway.
	When Lando is hanging over the pit he has gloves on, then he has no gloves, then they're back and so on.
	In A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, every time the lightsabre is used it acts like it can cut anything in half, including cutting body parts off. If this is true, then why in Return of the Jedi when Luke is fighting people at the Sarlacc pit, does it go through them but they just fall down and don't get chopped up.
	A spaceship (TIE?) which is a shoe.
	In the main space battle (before deatroying the Death Star), when Lando says "fighters coming in!". Watch in slow-motion, you can see a TIE fighter fly throught the Milenium Falcon.
	The shots at the end of the movie with the Emporer sre obviously lit from the front. This exposed too much of the Emporers head instided his hood so it was darkened to make him look more menacing. Look for the added shadow - it looks like someone took a black magic marker and coloured on the film.
	Even though Lando got him frozen, when he is out again Han never gets angry with him.
	When the are fighting on the hover things over the Sarlacc, Luke calss to Leia to get her to swing on the rope to safety. Watch closely, Luke says "Come on", but his mouth never moves.
	In one of the scenes where Vader and the Emporer are trying to get Luke to strike the Emporer down with his lightsabre. Luke finally gets annoyed enough to give it a try, but as he swings down to slice the Emporer in half, Vader suddenly whips out his lightsabre and blocks the blow; then the camera cuts to a nifty closeup of the crossed sabres and the Emporer laughing. However, according to that shot, the Emporer should be dead. Look carefully at the position of the sabres: Vader's (Red) is on top of Lukes (Green) - a position taht should have driven Lukes Sabre on the Emporer body.
