10 Times Star Wars Filmed Things You Weren't Meant To See

10. Luke's Lightsaber Is Made In New York - The Empire Strikes Back

As will become quickly apparent from this list, the earlier Star Wars movies in particular didn't give much thought to the future of home video, where crystal-clear 4K releases would allow every last imperfection and "mistake" to eventually be discovered.

Case in point, when Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) is trying to grab his lightsaber and escape the wampa cave in The Empire Strikes Back, those who look closely might notice that the saber has the word "New York" branded on the bottom.

This is much easier to spot on the Disney+ 4K release than it ever has been before, and for a franchise said to be set "in a galaxy far, far away," it sure does shatter the audience's immersion for a brief moment.

Funnily enough, the prop was actually cobbled together from an antique camera flash for just $15 by set decorator Roger Christian, explaining the pre-existing inscription you wouldn't expect to see in such a far-flung sci-fi movie.
