Goofs for Star Wars (1977)

Revealing mistakes: Actor visible through R2-D2's eye when in the
Sandcrawler.

Revealing mistakes: In the cantina, you can see through the eye of
the little mouse alien.

Continuity: Scenes from outside the Millennium Falcon indicate it
has four windows, yet shots from the inside indicate three.

Miscellaneous: When the stormtroopers break into the control room,
the one in the second row on the right bangs his head on the door.

Revealing mistakes: Rubber sole of Chewbacca's foot visible as he
follows Han Solo in the Death Star.

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.

Miscellaneous: 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).

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.

Revealing mistakes: During Kenobi's final lightsabre battle with
Vader, Kenobi tips his lightsabre 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.

Factual errors: There is no sound in space.
