ok, so i've been a star wars fan for 15 years, watched the movies a billion times, bought a laserdisc player & the definitive collection just because i heard about the "no OOT on DVD" from lucas, won a Star Wars trivia contest at summer camp, have a star wars t shirt for every day of the week, etc, etc, etc. And yet, when i read about references to the Emperor's slugs in ROTJ, i have no frickin idea what people are talking about! I don't know if i should feel ashamed at my lack of true fanship, or proud that i'm not quite yet a completely helpless nerd

Watch carefully in the close-up scenes of the Emperor in Return of the Jedi. If you look at the left side of his hood (his right, your left), you can see a little patch of black that doesn't match up with the rest of the black. That was colored in to hide the effects used to make Palpatine's eyes yellow. I think it was George Lucas who originally passed it off a Sith slug that feeds the Emperor's power to him or something like that.

There is no lingerie in space…

C3PX said: Gaffer is like that hot girl in high school that you think you have a chance with even though she is way out of your league because she is sweet and not a stuck up bitch who pretends you don’t exist… then one day you spot her making out with some skinny twerp, only on second glance you realize it is the goth girl who always sits in the back of class; at that moment it dawns on you why she is never seen hanging off the arm of any of the jocks… and you realize, damn, she really is unobtainable after all. Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Qui-Gon Jinn: Do you hear that?

Jar Jar Binks: Yeah.
Qui-Gon Jinn: That is the sound of a thousand terrible things headed this way.
Obi-Wan: If they find us, they will crush us, grind us into TINY pieces and BLAST us into oblivion!

It's some editing error. A blooper that ridicously has not been fixed in the last 20 years.

Yeah, I've always wondered what was with that patch of black. I just figured they were trying to hide some kind of screw up.

What effect were they hiding?

Why not just color contacts?

Weird.
