I got to thinking about the scene in ANH when Luke is cleaning the droids and accidentally triggers Leia's message.  In all GL releases, the audio from the message is out of sync from the hologram.  This was thought to be a movie mistake, but then I remembered that 3PO mentions that the restraining bolt on R2 is "short-circuiting his recording system."  The restraining bolt could be responsible for out-of-sync audio in that scene, and thus the mistake may not be a mistake at all.
