The Empire Strikes Back Bloopers
Force Shield?
In the very beginning when the Wampa knocks Luke off his tauntaun, watch
closely: the Wampa creature hits Luke in the *back* of the head to knock him
off, but when Luke hits the ground, there are bloody scratches all over his
*face*!
While Luke is in the sick bay recovering, you see that there are scars all
over his face from the Wampa's attack. Then Han enters, and the camera cuts
to him, but then back to Luke, and you can see that there are hardly any to
no scars on Luke's face. Speedy recovery.
Double Protection
On Hoth, when Leia gives the 'Okay' to closing the shield doors, watch
carefully as Chewie puts his head down as Leia nods. You can see the doors
closing, without sound, behind Chewie's shoulder. Then you can see them
closing with the appropriate sound afterwards.
Potato shoe
Just as the Millenium Falcon is entering the asteroid field, you can see out
the window of the Falcon two asteroids, one is a potato, the other is a
shoe!
Han the ventriloquist
When Han and Leia are in the cockpit of the Millenium Falcon while they were
in the belly of the space slug, Leia says, "Captain being held by you is
hardly enough to get me excited". At the same time, if you look closely at
Han's lips you'll see that he's saying it with her in unison. Reportedly,
Fisher later confessed to being on drugs at the time of the filming and had
temporarily forgotten her lines.
Elbow Trouble
Just after Han and Leia have their little "discussion" (ie: first passionate
kiss) on board the Millenium Falcon inside the space slug, when you see
C-3PO about to tap Han on the shoulder, you can see a mechanism fall from
the droids elbow. It is intact in the next scene.
Remote controlled detonation
During the pursuit of the Falcon by Imperial forces through the asteroid
field, the camera angle cuts to a wide shot.  Something very clearly
detonates on the surface of one of the asteroids (it even makes the
appropriate sound), but nothing is shown striking it.  There are two TIEs
chasing the Falcon now, but both ships are visible, and neither is the cause
of the explosion.  This was probably an editing error.
So fast, it's went backwards!
After Yoda says to Luke, "You will be, you will be...", we cut to a Star
Destroyer in the asteroid field.  The first asteroid it blasts at explodes
before the turboblast hits it!  Watch it in slow-motion, it is more obvious.
The voices in 3PO's head
Well, the people at least.  As we go into the junk room on Cloud City, and
we see 3PO's head, you can clearly see the crew being reflected in his head.
How does Lando do that?
As Lando is escorting Leia, Han, and Chewie to dinner on Bespin, Lando and
Han switch sides from one shot to the next. In one shot, Han is on Leia's
right with Lando and her left and in the next shot, as they head down the
last bit of corridor to the dining room, Han is on Leia's left with Lando on
her right. Han stays on the left for the rest of the scene and pulls out his
blaster to shoot Vader in that position.
And Stormtroopers are in perfect condition?!?  HA!!!
After being tortured on CC, the stormtroopers return Han to his cell with
Chewie and 3PO.  When the troops drop Han, keep an eye on the troop on the
right.  It appears that Solo's arm gets caught on the helmet of the
stormtroopers momentarily, and lifts it just a little off his head.  As the
trooper leaves the cell, his helmet is still a little askew.
But I thought Han's hands were tied . . .
Right before Han is about to be frozen in Carbonite, his trademark vest is
not on (but how could it be?  he only had that jacket with him).  When the
camera goes to close ups of soon to be frozen hero, he has it on.  But in
wide shots, he's not.  Hmmm.
Ignition before it was ignited
Just before Vader ignites his saber for the first time in Cloud City, you
can clearly see the actual uncolored rod. However, it isn't white like in
the first film but dark gray which blends in against Vader's costume. The
best way to see it is to wait until he ignites his saber, then rewind the
film with your eye on where the lightsaber was and you'll see it clear as
day.
Switching horses (or lightsabers) in the middle of the stream
Just after Luke knocks Vader off the deck in Cloud City, he walks around a
large machine and doesn't shut his saber off, you can see him reach back and
trade for a hilt with a hidden stagehand.
Darth has pity on Luke
When Luke and Vader are fighting on Cloud City, as Vader is using the force
to hurl boxes and objects at Luke, Luke falls over the edge and the next
scene shows him hanging from a catwalk with BOTH hands. Notice: If both
hands are occupied, shouldn't he have lost his lightsaber? However, in the
next scene he's got it again! Vader must have given him a spare one :)
(Actually, you can see the lightsaber sitting on the edge of the catwalk,
but only in the widescreen version.)
The Force, or the trampoline?
When Luke is fighting Vader on Cloud City, after he knocks Vader off the
edge.  If you listen closely, you can hear Vader hit a trampoline, and his
unlit saber reappears for less than a second.  However, this blooper can
only be viewed on the widescreen version.
The Force, or the trampoline - TWO!
Right after the above blooper, Luke jumps down  behind Vader. If you look
and listen closely, you hear him hit a trampoline-like device. Then, his
head magically reappears at the bottom of the screen for a brief moment.
Got'cha!
During their duel on the catwalk of CC, Vader's fierce charge forces Luke
backwards.  Swinging fervently at the boy, Darth strikes the railing sending
sparks everywhere.  Pay attention when he does this, because you will see
the black tap that David Prowse (the man behind the mask) hits.  This is
likely some sort of pyrotechnic device.
Someone gave Luke a hand
When Luke is tumbling in the air shaft after the fight on Cloud City, there
is a very short scene (just before he gets dropped out the bottom of Cloud
City) where you can see his right hand, which had already been sliced off by
Vader, still intact.
Stealth mode saber
During Luke and Vader battle, after Vader says, "...Don't make me destroy
you."  And before the dialogue. "...you do not yet realize your
importance..." the scene switches between a shot of Vader from the torso up,
to a shot of Luke from over his fathers shoulder.    Note that Vader's saber
has been activated up until now, but it is mysteriously turned off.  The
weapon did not make the usual deactivation sound, but you can actually hear
the hum of thee lightsaber until the angle changes, when the sound suddenly
stops.
Bull's Eye
When Chewie takes cover around the corner of a corridor on CC, the first two
shots hot the wall and leave a scorched hole.  The second weapons blast
comes on;y seconds after the first and hits the same exact spot.
Was that a Colt 45 or a stormtrooper laser?
In Cloud City when Lando, Leia (& company) are trying to rescue Han before
he gets put aboard Slave I, while the stormtroopers are chasing them, Lando
doesn't have a gun or any weapon. Halfway through the chase, however, he
miraculously acquires one!
Hey Chewie?  What size shoe are you again?
During a scene on CC, when Chewie  is running away from the camera, the
angle is positioned just right so that we can see the bottoms of Chewie's
feet.  But what is visible are the heel and sole of the boots of Peter
Mayhew's costume.
Fashion Statement
During the scene that Vader asks Admiral Piett, "Did you deactivate the
Millennium Falcon's hyperdrive?"  The officers rank insignia switches from
the left side of his uniform to his right side.

of the explosion.  This was probably an editing error.
Non credo che questo sia un errore. Non vorrei sbagliarmi, ma non erano tre
i tie che inseguivano il Falcon? L'esplosione sarebbe dovuta alla
distruzione di uno dei tre.

Sinceramente non abbiamo verificato tutti i bloopers,... penso che l'avranno
visto qualche volta prima di metterlo dentro l'elencone....
COMUNQUE e' l'ennesima bouna scusa per riguardarsi ESB!!!!!!!!
