Hey, that's another one I never noticed before. :)
It would indeed be good to see that small 'prop' stay in the same position when we first see it, to match the shots afterwards (or 'erased' from all the shots if not)....
However, there was always something else that bothered me with this scene....and it could be that these shots were filmed in a different order to the way they were edited together, which could also explain this now -
vaderios's top 2 'zoomed-in' shots are taken from the single shot where Han gestures to the moving beeping droid and tells it to "Wait a minute", where it then immediately comes to a halt and stops beeping before Han then asks Luke "You all right?
We then cut to Luke who responds "Yeah", and then cut to the 'close-up' of Han seen in the 3rd shot down. At this point we now see the droid continue to beep and trundle past Han....
Then after we cut to Luke setting off, we cut back for a second time to a similar 'close-up' shot as the 3rd one down where Han then says "Be careful"
I always thought that it would be better if the droid was 'erased' in the first 'close-up' that we see of Han...as it seems as if it's just started off again on it's own accord, rather than waiting as Han asked.... Should it be off-screen and waiting at this point?.... It could still make the beeping noises we're used to hearing in the shot while it waits off-screen though.
Guess we'll just have to see if Adywan thinks it should be a surly, disobeying workdroid or not, I guess....
"Wait a minute" could be the key word here, the droid waited for 1 film minute then started to drive off again...it did what it was told, might not be the smartest of droids..
