I've noticed at least one mistake that still remains in Star Wars Episode IV, and possibly another one. In the Mos Eisley scene near the Cantina, I've noticed problems with shading direction, where for no reason the shade seems to change direction. And in the Death Star in the control room, right after Leia leads Luke, Han and Chewie into a trash compactor, a storm trooper still bangs his helmet on the door on his way in. I'm sure there's no way around it other than to completely redo that scene or possibly crop it to cut the open door out, but to the untrained eye, viewers barely even notice if even at all. Just thought I'd let you know.

To whom and what are you referring to?

You really need to post these comments in the ANH:Revisited thread, if that is what you are referring to.

I think the stormtrooper that bangs his head on the door is the most well-loved goof in the trilogy. My cousin pointed it out to me when I got my first VHS tape in 1983 or 1984. I'd hate to see it removed.

Heck, the DVD added a "bonk" sound to the "mistake", making it canon. ;-)

Well, hell, AOTC made it "canon" first by having Jango bang his head on a door because two people surely can't bang their heads on doors unless they share genetic material. Ugh, what a load...

There is no lingerie in space…

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

So what. These aren't problems. They don't need to be fixed. In fact it would be wrong to fix them.
