10 More Greatest Movie Extra Performances Ever
8. The Force Kick - Return Of The Jedi
There are some out there who would have you believe that the visual of a dude on Tatooine being seemingly knocked over by a gust of wind during Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi was little more than a combination of bad choreography and camera positioning, but they'd be wrong.
Instead, when Luke Skywalker lets loose his boot whilst attempting to fight his way through Jabba the Hutt's goons, what you were actually watching was the result of one particularly committed extra making the absolute most out of a ridiculously powerful Force Kick, folks!
Hell, Mark Hamill himself even confirmed it, and this Jedi Master wouldn't lie to his padawans all over the galaxy now, would he?
How could anyone possibly be bothered by my widely celebrated, perfectly executed Force-Kick?! https://t.co/8FdEHe6IUO

You know you've accidentally produced a special and properly unforgettable Star Wars moment when folks are talking more about you being Force booted in the face than Boba Fett being set flying to his sarlacc doom.
And after taking one of the silliest looking kicks in movie history, it's safe to say this extra will be remembered for a long time.
