“Star Wars” Goofs List
- Revealing mistakes: When Luke activates his light saber after Obi Wan gives it to him, the reflection on C3P0 only shows the hilt, not the blue blade
- Continuity: In the scene where C-3PO and R2-D2 take over the control room, three guns are leaning against the little window that overlooks the hanger. But in a few different shots, there are four guns.
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: Just before Alderaan is destroyed, Governor Tarkin asks the Princess “You would prefer another target, a military target, then name the system!” In the reaction shot of the Princess you can see Tarkin’s mouth moving but there is no sound.
- Continuity: Luke’s rag as he cleans up C-3PO and R2-D2.
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): As Luke cleans R2-D2, watch C-3PO in the background. When Luke jumps back, surprised by Princess Leia’s message, C-3PO slips off the steps (but recovers in time not to ruin the shot).
- Revealing mistakes: At the end of the movie, many of the gathered soldiers are plainly cardboard cutouts.
- Continuity: In the scene with the oil bath in Luke’s garage, C3PO is holding a rag. We cut away to R2D2, then cut back to C3PO, and the rag is gone. Then cut to R2D2 again and cut back to C3PO, then the rag is back.
- Revealing mistakes: The Jawa’s eyes are obviously just light bulbs.
- Continuity: After C-3PO and R2-D2 escape from the Blockade Runner, the Blockade Runner has vanished from the Star Destroyer’s underside tractor beam hatch. This is most evident in the last frame of the scene that shows the Star Destroyer flying by.
- Continuity: Rebel pilots have a radar in their X-Wings they use to target enemy fighters. However, in at least one scene, this radar depicts the “bent wing” Darth Vader model TIE fighter as the target, when in actuality the pilot is shooting at a standard model TIE fighter.
- Continuity: When Vader is strangling Captain Raymus Antilles, a stormtrooper in the background holds his blaster at waist level in one shot and chest level in another.
- Continuity: When C-3PO is separated from R2-D2 on Tatooine and walking among the sand dunes, clear skies and cloudy skies keep trading places between shots.
- Continuity: The hologram of Leia that Luke discovers changes for one repetition as Luke and C3PO discuss it.
- Continuity: When 3PO explains how the tractor beam is powered (in later versions like the Special Edition only), his voice is of a higher pitch than in the rest of the film, indicating an obvious dub.
- Continuity: In the first shot of the Millennium Falcon, the ship is missing its radar dish.
- Continuity: When Luke is practicing with the lightsaber in the Millennium Falcon, his lightsaber is green. He turns it off to talk to Ben and when he turns it back on, it is back to its “proper” light blue. This mistake is only in the 2004 DVD release.
- Continuity: C-3PO sustains a dent on his head during the Sandpeople attack, but the dent appears, disappears, and swaps sides frequently during the movie.
- Continuity: Luke’s sleeve and the position of his head and arms when he is lying unconscious after the Sandpeople attack.
- Continuity: Items on Ben’s table as he watches the hologram.
- Continuity: The shrubs on the edge of the hole in Luke’s desert home.
- Continuity: When Ben gives Luke the lightsaber, and Luke activates it, the cape hanging on the wall behind him disappears while the saber is active, and re-appears when it is shut off.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Although Tatooine has two suns, the angular distance between them is quite small, so only very large objects would cast two distinct shadows.
- Continuity: A cloud appears over one of Tatooine’s suns too quickly.
- Revealing mistakes: Rubber sole of Chewbacca’s foot visible as he follows Han Solo in the Death Star.
- Continuity: As the two spaceships are flying over Tatooine in the opening sequence, sunlight strikes Tatooine from above. However, sunlight is hitting the two moons from the left.
- Continuity: Red Leader’s helmet mike switches sides several times just before he crashes.
- Factual errors: Denis Lawson’s name is misspelled “Dennis” in the credits, and was not fixed in the 1997 special edition.
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Darth Vader says to Tarkin, “I told you she would never consciously betray the Rebellion,” he then continues to gesture as if still talking.
- Continuity: The windows of the TIE fighters are shaped differently when viewed from the inside and the outside.
- Continuity: The windows at the cockpit of the Millenium Falcon do not match when viewed from outside and when viewed from inside.
- Continuity: As Luke prepares to board his fighter prior to the climactic space battle, he brushes his hand along the underside of the wing. The markings on the wing clearly indicate it is “Red One,” shown by the one red stripe. However, during the battle it is repeatedly established that Luke is in fact “Red Five,” and exterior shots of the spacecraft model have five red stripes. This is corrected in the special edition by adding the scene of Luke talking to Biggs. They start talking under red one and continue to walk to Luke’s fighter. This scene was cut from the original.
- Continuity: When the Falcon is escaping the Death Star, they are pursued by four fighter craft. After three of the fighters are destroyed, what should be the lone remaining craft is next seen accompanied by another. The second craft apparently reassembles itself just long enough for this one fly-by, as it is not seen again (this was corrected in the Special Edition, as only one TIE fighter is visible in the shot).
- Revealing mistakes: During Kenobi’s final lightsaber battle with Vader, Kenobi tips his lightsaber downwards, right before a scene change. The white “glow” that should be there isn’t, showing the stick-like prop the actors used in filming. There is a small white light at the tip, too. This was not fixed in the Special Edition, but it was finally fixed on the 2004 DVD.
- Continuity: The pitcher in Luke’s hand while he is talking to Uncle Owen changes hands a few times.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: During the final Death Star battle, Red Leader says, “Stay there, I just lost my starboard engine” shortly before we see his fighter get hit. However, he may not have lost it due to a hit; it may have had a mechanical failure that just came at a really bad time.
- Continuity: The blue panels on R2-D2 appear black when he is in the X-Wing with Luke in space. This is a blue screen shot which effectively makes R2’s panels transparent. In the Special Edition, they left them as black but the newly added CGI X-Wing shots with R2-D2 are blue.
- Continuity: In the trash compactor, the metal bar that Leia uses to try and brace the walls is buried in debris. When she needs it moments later she is already resting her hands on it and it is easily obtainable.
- Continuity: When R2D2 and C-3PO are in the escape pod, the rotation of the pod and the view rearward of the star cruiser don’t agree.
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Luke, Ben, and the droids first enter the cantina and Wuher the bartender yells, “Hey! We don’t serve their kind here!” his voice does not match his lips. (His voice was redubbed by an American due to his thick cockney accent.)
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: In the first scene with the landspeeder, C-3PO does not speak, yet gestures as if he is talking.
- Revealing mistakes: When Darth Vader releases Admiral Motti and he slumps on the desk, the force of the impact makes the whole set wobble.
- Revealing mistakes: Just before Leia and Luke swing across the chasm in the Death Star (and at other times), the “blasters” they are shooting are seen to eject shell casings. This is because the guns used in the movie are just dressed-up blank-firing prop guns.
- Miscellaneous: In the music in the ending credits, a trumpet overblows and hits a wrong note
- Continuity: When leaving the Yavin base, many of the rebel pilots are wearing brand new helmets. In the scenes that follow the helmets are clearly old and battered.
- Revealing mistakes: During a gun battle just before Luke and Han Solo escape down the garbage chute, some close-ups of Luke and Han show flesh-colored make-up smeared from under their chins onto the white plastic Imperial armor they are wearing. These makeup smears do not appear in longer shots, but show up in a couple of close shots during the scene.
