2. Never Hire A Mon Calamari Officer - Return Of The Jedi
Star Wars has an Extras problem. First there was the infamous Stormtrooper bumping his head moment, and now this.
To give them their due, it's probably quite difficult for Mon Calamari to see properly, given how far their eyes are spaced apart. And it's probably also extremely difficult for the actors within their rubber suits to see also, since they're presumably restricted to peeking through nostrils.
That might well explain why this bridge officer on Admiral Akbar's staff is so comically unable to navigate his way around his own control panel, momentarily losing the button he's obviously supposed to be pressing.
