MORE Quick Hands 1h 23m 11s
1h 25m 37s SE
 
 
   
 
    SCENE:   Luke and Leia are on the bridge that needed to be extended.
 
EVENT:   Luke throws the grappling line up and prepares to swing across. Leia throws both of her arms around Luke's neck and gives him a kiss. But when we instantly cut to a far shot of the pair swinging across, Leia's hands are clinging to his waist.
 
   
   
 
     

 
 
   
Out Of Batteries? 1h 24m 53s
1h 27m 19s SE
 
 
   
 
    SCENE:   During Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi's lightsaber battle on board the Death Star.
 
EVENT:   There are several times when things are positioned just right that you can see a white power cord used to light up Ben's lightsaber. This effect was later scrapped and the "light" was added in post-production.
 
   
   
 
     

 
 
   
Who Dressed You Vader? 1h 24m 59s
1h 27m 25s SE
 
 
   
 
    SCENE:   During Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi's lightsaber battle on board the Death Star.
 
EVENT:   During a brief pause in the action, the camera cuts to a medium shot of Vader while he speaks the line "You should not have come back." Vader's chest plate is backwards in this scene.
 
   
   
 
     

 
 
   
More Saber Shadows 1h 25m 10s
1h 27m 36s SE
 
 
   
 
    SCENE:   During Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi's lightsaber battle on board the Death Star.
 
EVENT:   On several occasions you can see a shadow of the lightsabers against the wall as the two duel. The instances are too numerous to mention.
   
   
 
     

 
 
   
The Lightsabers Have Lost Their Shine 1h 25m 19s
1h 27m 45s SE
 
 
   
 
    SCENE:   During Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi's lightsaber battle on board the Death Star.
 
EVENT:   There are two or three shots of Ben when his lightsaber had not been coloured. As well, after Ben is killed, Vader's light saber is white, instead of red. This is because the colouring was added after the film was made, and the optical effects crews forgot to add colour to this one scene. The white is the actual colour of the rod. The most notable instance of this is after Vader slays Ben and we see Darth Vader from across the hanger bay. His saber is white.
