Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith/IMDB Corrections

## Character error

1. Yoda tells Obi Wan that he is not powerful enough to take on Palpatine. It never occurs to either of them that they could both attack Palpatine, then worry about Vader later. **Yoda probably thinks Palpatine is too powerful for that to be realistic.**
2. Obi-Wan declares an end to his duel with Anakin, and himself the winner, by stating that he has the high ground. Both he and Anakin/Vader have managed to turn the tide of a duel despite being on the low ground. Darth Maul had the high ground on Obi-Wan by pushing him into the reactor core, but Obi-Wan managed to use the Force to pull himself out of it. Luke Skywalker had the high ground over Vader while on the catwalk in the throne room of the Death Star, but Vader managed to cut him down. **He is referring to the MORAL high ground.**
3. During the battle among Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Count Dooku, Dooku kicks Anakin away while levitating a defenseless Obi-Wan. He should have seized this opportunity to easily kill Obi-Wan instead of simply Force-throwing him across the room. **Maybe Dooku doesn’t want to kill Obi-Wan unless it is really necessary.**
4. Palpatine destroys the Council Chamber fighting Yoda, even though he might need it later. **He probably intends to get it rebuilt.**

## Continuity

1. When Yoda uses the Force to send Darth Sidious flying across the room, Sidious lands in his desk chair which knocks over backwards. In the next shot where the desk is visible, the chair is standing back up again. **Perhaps he managed to stand it back up.**
2. During the battle between Kenobi and Grievous, the camera frequently focuses on his lightsabers. Two of these clearly belong to Obi-Wan and Anakin despite the characters having taken these weapons back at the beginning of the movie. **They could be copies.**
3. Anakin's facial scar near his eye is gone when he is unmasked in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. **Vader could have used the dark side of The Force to heal it.**

## Factual errors

1. During the first part of the escape from the Invisible Hand, when the decks tilt, objects (such as R2-D2, for instance) lose traction and slide "downslope". This would not happen on a ship in which an artificial gravity field was in use. "Down" would always be straight towards the deck, no matter how the ship was oriented with respect to its exterior surroundings. The sliding objects on the ship behave as if the source of gravity was outside and below it. Of course, without internal artificial gravity, everything on the orbiting ship would be in freefall.**Unless something happened to adjust the artificial gravity field.**
2. When the buzz droids are destroyed on Obi-Wan's fighter, they are swept away as if by wind flowing over the wings. As there is no air in space, the wreckage of the droids should have remained on Obi-Wan's fighter.**Perhaps he used the Force to dislodge the remains.**

## Incorrectly regarded as goofs

1. When Bail Organa lands at the Jedi Temple, some of the clone troopers that approach him are right-handed, while others are clearly left-handed. As genetic clones, all of the Clone Troopers would be the same, either right- or left-handed. **Most experts now agree that genetics aren't the only factor when it comes to handedness, and it isn't entirely implausible for some clones to have naturally grown up left-handed instead.**
2. Just after Order 66 is given, the zipper in one of the Wookie costumes (the one on the right hand side of the screen standing behind Yoda) has been said to be visible. **In fact, it is merely part of the background peeking through the Wookie's legs.**

### Spoilers

1. Padmé's body is shown in the funeral procession, it appears she is still pregnant. **This was done by the Rebellion to trick the Sith into thinking that she had no surviving children.**
2. Padmé dies in childbirth; however, in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, after Luke and Leia realize they are siblings, Leia claims to remember her mother after Luke clearly asks about her "real mother", indicating she was not talking about her adoptive mother. **Tie-in set comics set during Leia's childhood remedied this error by showing Leia experienced Force visions (similar to those experienced by Rey in Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens) of Padmé.**
3. Later in Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back Obi-Wan disbelieves that "There is another", with the implication is that Yoda was speaking about Leia, about whom Obi-Wan should have known. **In the context of "Empire", Obi-Wan had written off Leia as a prisoner of Darth Vader, whereas Yoda believed she would escape and continue the fight.**

## Plot holes

1. The Skywalker twins are separated at birth so Vader doesn't find them. Why then raise Leia in the home of one of the Empire's most outspoken enemies? Furthermore, why give Luke to his only known relatives without even bothering to change his surname? **Maybe it was decided to hide them in plain sight!**
2. Uncle Owen, Aunt Beru and Obi-Wan Kenobi live nineteen years on Tatooine between this movie and A New Hope, but seem to have aged twice as much. If this is some feature or side-effect of the planet, then Luke should also look like he is in his late thirties when he appears next time. **Unless the strain of keeping Luke safe led to Owen, Beru and Obi-Wan ageing more quickly!**
3. If Mace Windu can see Anakin's conflict and fear through the Force, he should also unravel Padme's pregnancy and their relationship, just as Palpatine and Vader will later be able to see details of Luke's thoughts. **He probably refused to believe it, or at least dismiss as a Sith trick.**

## Revealing mistakes

1. At the end of Obi-Wan and Anakin's duel, Obi-Wan cuts off Anakin's legs and arm, however in the wide shots, the severed limbs are nowhere to be seen. **They could have fallen into the river of lava.**
