10 Background Actors In Star Wars Who Got Themselves Noticed
1. The Rebel Officer Wearing Platform Shoes
Ah, the glory of watching the Star Wars movies in 4K - it lets us soak in every last sliver of visual detail... and also notice when an extra is randomly wearing platform shoes for some reason.
That's right. During A New Hope's climactic rebel celebration, keep an eye out for the rebel officer on the right-hand side of the screen.
When Luke, Han, and Chewie climb the steps, the rebels turn in formation, and for a second you can see that one of the officers is wearing platform shoes.
The peculiarity was first noticed by a Redditor many years ago and gets brought up again every so often, as fans speculate on exactly why this extra, who is by no means a short man, ended up wearing platform shoes to boost his height.
Did the costume team just run out of regular shoes or something? It's so incredibly strange, and of course, the man in question is neither credited nor has he ever stepped forward to explain the situation.
