  • Upon entering Jabba's palace (droids), you can hear Greedo's line from "Star Wars" underneath all the hoob-la, with the music. NO ONE still believes me. - Symphony
    • It's true. Greedo says the same line he says to Han in Star Wars.
  • Luke is wearing the same helmet as in the previous films, despite having left Cloud City without it.
  • In the novel, "Tales of the Bounty Hunters", you learn that Dengar (one of the bounty hunters you see aboard the Executor in ESB, the one w/ the cloth on his head) during the Return of the Jedi was working at Jabba's palace. There is a scene when Luke goes to Jabba's palace, that you see a shot of Bib Fortuna leaving the audience chamber to talk to Luke. If you look behind Bib Fortuna when he leaves the audience chamber you will see Dengar standing next to Jabba. - Jacob Rouse
  • In the original Return of the Jedi and Luke, Han and Princess Leia are flying into the death star. If you watch you will see that 3 star cruisers just disappear. Were did they go no one knows. - Ryan May
  • In Jabbas palace when the dancing girl {the chick with the things coming out of her head} is fighting with Jabba for a split second one of her boobs pops out of her top. - Ash
  • If you look at one frame at a time during the big battle-scene towards the movies end, you can see two TIE-fighters disappear in the belly of an Imperial cruiser instead of behind it as they are supposed to do, but I don't consider it as a real goof, since you can't see it when you look at the movie the normal way. - Olav Westerman
  • When Lando and his co-pilot, nien nunb are flying the falcon into battle... three, count 'em three, tie fighters pop out of nowhere. Sidenote: Lucas knew about the boobs thing on the dancer, but chose to ignore it do the fact that the make-up and paint covered it up. - Lando
  • This is just in the special edition. Right after Jabba leaves his palace to kill Han and Luke, they show a herd of Banthas. But as the camera moves to the left, you notice that one of the Banthas is missing his head! - sahasrala
  • When Han is frozen and given to Boba Fett, he gets frozen wearing pants with a red stripe going down the side. When he reappears in Return of the Jedi. He is wearing pants with a yellow stripe. Something dyed his pants in the carbon freezing chamber! - Obster
  • As Leia/Boushh sells Chewie to Jabba and Chewie is escorted away, the disguised Lando reveals his face to the camera. But a moment before, in the same shot, he bumps his head on the low ceiling - you can see how his head is tilted backwards.
  • While Lando is hanging above the sarlacc pit, from close shots to wide shots, his gloves keep reappearing, and disappearing. Also, in the speeder chase at the forest, near the end, Luke has his robot glove on the wrong hand!! - Bob
  • Before Han leaves for his mission to the forest moon, Lando is shown with his shoulder belt on one side the to the other and then back to its original side. - nathan
  • During the beginning of the battle at the end of the movie, Admiral Ackbar says,"It's a trap!" You then see a shot of the Falcon flying towards the screen and sweeping off to the left. NOW! Stop the movie right when it shows the following shot of the Falcon flying towards the direct side of the screen through TIEs. If you go frame by frame, you should see one or two frames where there's a white background with a blue, see-through Millenium Falcon! Looks like somebody forgot to fill in the colors! This is due to the fact that George Lucas forgot to digitally color the Falcon during the TIE fighter shot. - heavenly sax
  • During the big fighter seen at the end of the movie when the rebels are making their advance on the death star, when the admiral of the rebels yells "it's a trap!" and they turn around and Lando says "fighters coming in" if you watch closely at the tie fighters coming at them two rows of four fighters magically appear out of thin air and come at the millenium falcon. - kendall
  • When the rebel fighters enter the death star to blow it up, and they are going through the inside of the death star, at the point when Lando Calrissian says "break up and head back to the surface and see if you can get a few of those tie fighters to follow you" the pilot of the a-wing says "copy gold leader" and you can see him fly away and make a turn into another duct of the death star, but when they show the millenium falcon again turning the opposite way to destroy the death star, somehow the same a-wing turns into the same exact shaft again, beats me how he went into reverse and entered the shaft again. Nice job Lucas. - kendall
    • Shouldn't you blame Richard Marquand?
  • When Chewee and Han Solo sneak up on the scout troopers and Han steps on a stick and the guard turns around and hits Han and the trooper yells to the other one "go for help go!" he gets on the speeder bike and rides off, Chewee shoots his crossbow at him and when you see the laser about to hit him, you see that the speeder bike is going about 2 mph and is about to a tree limb on the ground. - kendall
  • During the speeder bike scene, after Luke's bike is damaged, he jumps off. If you watch you can see that he bounces back up a bit because he landed on padding. - Jen
  • When Luke and Vader are fighting near the end of the movie, Luke jumps on a catwalk above Vader. Vader throws his lightsaber and manages to bring down the catwalk with Luke still on it. Pause it right when Vader's lightsaber hits the catwalk and you see a stuntman with a "Luke wig." If you go frame by frame you can see the stuntman flinch when sparks start to fly and he falls down with the rig. This is hilarious the first time you see it. (VHS) - JAViER
  • When Death Star II explodes, the fight between the Empire and the Rebel Alliance stops. What about all the other Empire Star Destroyers and such that were involved in the battle? Can't fight without the Death Star???? - Big John
    • They probably fled.
  • When Darth hands Palpatine Luke's new lightsaber, Palpatine says "much like your father's." but none of Anakin/Vader's sabers ever look like that, Luke's second saber actually looks more like Obi-Wan's. (VHS) - gl_bustr
  • After Leia had been captured by Jabba and turned into his sex slave (ENVY!!), look carefully at her hips--no panty lines, right? Obviously, she isn't wearing panties. However later on, when she runs to the gun during the escape scene on the Sail Barge, her skirt blows back slightly, revealing she has panties on. Unless R2 had a (stolen?) pair amongst all his gadgets and gizmos, that's a bit of a blooper to me. - Leia's Magic Panties
  • Satellite scene with Han solo. When the team first breaks into the control room, Han says "toss me a charger" seconds later, a bad guy walks in and Han chucks the charger he needed at him, loosing the charger he just asked for. - youghduh
  • The explosion of the satellite. When Han is ditching the station on Endor, he is running frantically because the timer is running out. He frantically ducks behind the first log which he believes to be a safe distance. We see the the satellite explode in a cataclysmic napalm bath. The explosion nated the whole amount of forest visible by the camera. Seconds later it goes back to good old Harrison Ford, who was no more than 30 feet from the station, yet he somehow survived, and so did all the forest around him! - youghduh
  • (Revealing mistakes) During the really big space battle near the end, while the tiny little strike team is on Endor and the war is raging overhead, an A-Wing crashes into one of the huge Star Destroyers. You can see fire all over the ship as it starts to malfunction, but, as we all know, fire needs oxygen to burn, and there is clearly no air in space. - Taekwondoman90
  • When Han is frozen and given to Boba Fett, he gets frozen wearing pants with a red stripe going down the side. When he reappears in Return of the Jedi. He is wearing pants with a yellow stripe. Something dyed his pants in the carbon freezing chamber! His pants in The Empire Strikes Back had yellow stripes, however, the pants where blue (not brown like in Return of the Jedi). (original/special edition) - Spacehunter
  • (Revealing mistakes) When Han Solo and the other rebels brake into the Shield Generator building and failed to set the bomb, they are attacking the imperial soldiers. One imperial commander, who's standing on a catawalk, has a duffle bag thrown at him by Han. Notice that the commander starts to fall off of the railing before the bag even touches him. (Theatre) - Peter Naughton
    • It is possible that he simply lost his balance.

Commented Goofs

  • Han's reflection can be seen in the glass protecting the actors when the shield generator bunker is destroyed. When Han Solo is falling off the sailing barge in the Sarlaac you see him fall over the edge like if you tripped over, but when he is helping Lando up he has his feet just hanging onto the edge with Chewbacca holding onto them, but that can't be possible if he fell off. - Billy Loomis
    • Comment: His legs catch a wire/rope thing on the platform they're on, then Chewbacca hold onto him. - Lando
  • While Vader lies to Luke's feet after their duel you can see in one scene Luke's shadow but not of his lightsaber. - Toto
    • Comment: I think a lightsaber would cast a glare, not a shadow ;) - Cren
  • During the forest bike chase, Luke and Leia are on the same bike, and a stormtrooper is on another, and Luke is about to jump on the Stormtroopers bike. In the shots leading up to this, you can see through the bikes AND the characters into the forest! - heavenly sax
    • Comment: You can see "through" various props and characters because Lucas did that intentionally to cut down on the black line that tipically surrounds CGI. - Ain
  • When Luke jumps from one hover craft to the other when they get in the fight on Jabba's barg, he kicks one of the men in the head. If you watch normally or even better in slow-motion you can see that his foot was about a foot and a half away from the guys head, but he still fell back in pain. - kendall
    • Comment: Luke's "kick" misses the one guys head because it was pulled. People in the movies do not actually hit each other, they fake it. - Aine
      • The audience should not be able to tell that the kick "hits" 1½ feet away from the target. This can be eliminated by e.g. changing the camera angle.
    • Comment: Maybe Luke did a kind of "force kick" to hit the guy. - Bob
  • Towards the end of the movie the Emperor states that an entire legion of his beast troops await the rebels on Endor.
    And yet the legion with armored vehicles, high-tech weapons and armored stormtroopers are defeated by a group of 2ft bears with sticks and stones? - Mathia
    • Comment: The point is that good always triumphs over evil, no matter what the odds. "Evil will always triumph, because good is dumb."-Dark Helmet - Bob
    • Comment: That was one of the points about Lucas's story, that all the technology might of the Imperial isn't as good as it's thought to be. Witness how the heavily armed Walkers in The Empire Strikes Back were taken down with simple harpoon weapons. - Spacehunter

Corrected Goofs

  • During the speeder bike chase, Luke cuts off the front of a stormtrooper's speeder bike and it spins out and crashes into a tree. If you look closely at the explosion, you can see a wire that was holding the model up. - David
    • Correction: Excuse me for being overly meticulous, but they are Scout Troopers on the speeder bikes, not stromtroopers. - Cren

Explained Goofs

  • When Han is put in the carbonite in Cloud City, his hair is combed in its normal way. But when he is released from the carbonite i Jabba's Palace, his hair is combed back. Unless he decided to style his hair as he was getting frozen, I don't see how this could happen. - Quignotz
    • Explanation: 1) Think about all that air blowing on him as he was going down into the carbonite chamber; I don't think a hairstyle would last long in that, would you? 2) He was MELTED out. That condesation, along with what I justa stated, would make it look combed back, would it not? 3) The movie was made 3 years after ESB. You don't honestly expect Harrison Ford's hairstyel to be the same as 3 years prior, do you? - Cren
  • At the beginning as C-3PO and R2-D2 approach Jabba's palace, C3PO makes the statement 'Lando Calrisian and poor Chewbacca never returned from this horrible place.' However, the two droids were present when Chewie was brought in by the bounty hunter (Leia). The only thing I can offer up is that the droids may have been uninformed about the whole plan, but not likely. - manix
    • Explanation: The droids were not fully informed of the plan, at least not C-3PO, as evident by his reaction upon hearing Luke's message that he was giving the droids to Jabba as a gift. - Spacehunter
