Fun Stuff

Trivia: Sound designer Ben Burtt got the opportunity to operate the mike boom in the dialogue scene between Luke and Leia on Endor. He didn't know the entire scene would take almost 3 minutes to shoot, so he got very tired holding up the microphone, and nearly dropped it on Carrie Fisher's head. (more)

Goofs: Revealing mistakes: Luke cuts off Vader's hand at the wrist. Actor David Prowse, while in the "one-handed-Vader" costume, bends his wrist, revealing the gimmick. (more)

Quotes:
[first lines]
Shuttle captain: Command station, this is ST321, code clearance blue. We're starting our approach; deactivate the security shield.
