Revenge of the Sith - Mistakes

Rating: 6/10 (21 May 2005)

Mistake spotting and movie loving are two separate areas which just happen to share common ground. 9 mistakes so far, and no doubt many many more to come...
Audio problem: When Samuel L. Jackson says "I don't think the boy can handle it, I don't trust him" his lips don't match his dialogue when he says "I don't trust him".
Continuity: In the scene where Anakin has just had the bad dream, Padme comes out and talks to him wearing the nightdress with the rows of beads around her arms. In one shot the beads on her right arm are twisted, in the next they're straight again.
Continuity: In the scene with Mace Windu & Palpatine after the lightsaber battle in Palpatine's office, you see Windu standing directly over Palpatine with his lightsaber pointing to his throat. The scene cuts to Anakin walking in, and you see Windu step forward and stand over Palpatine again.
Continuity: During Obi-Wan's departure scene on Coruscant, when he is telling Anakin how proud he is of him, Obi-Wan's eye color shifts from Ewan McGregor's' natural blue-green eyes to a dark brown.
Continuity: After the crash landing on Coruscant, Anakin, Kenobi, and Palpatine take a shuttle to the Jedi Council. In the first shot as the shuttle is landing, all shadows are parallel with the edge of the landing area. In the next shot when the shuttle doors open, all shadows have shifted 45-degrees clockwise.
Continuity: When Obi-Wan meets Anakin on the landing bay of the volcanic planet, Obi-Wan comes down the ramp from the ship and removes his cloak. It lays across the end of the ramp. The shot changes, then comes back, and the cloak is now bunched off to one side.
Continuity: During the Anakin/Obi-Wan fight scene Obi Wan switches lightsabers with Anakin. When Anakin is strangling him we can definitely see that Obi-Wan is holding Anakin's lightsaber in his right hand (note the hilt design), but when the shot is reversed Obi-Wan is holding his own lightsaber.
Revealing: in the hangar scene when Anakin is talking to Mace Windu, look at Anakin's shadow when Windu flies off - his body is in full light yet his shadow is cut off below the shadows. Impossible with one light source such as the sun.
Revealing: In the scene when Obi-Wan and Yoda return to the temple and find the bodies of the younglings, watch the child on the left. When Obi-Wan bends to look at the dead child the one on the left flinches a little - it looks like his nose itched.
