10 More Most Paused Star Wars Moments

Here's a moment that left a ton of Star Wars fans wearing out their VHS copy of The Empire Strikes Back back in the day - the ultra-brief, blink-and-you'll-miss-it glimpse of Darth Vader's (David Prowse) exposed, burned scalp.

Shortly after Luke (Mark Hamill) crash-lands on Dagobah, a brief scene plays out where Admiral Piett (Kenneth Colley) visits Vader in his meditation chamber to update him on their efforts to catch the Millennium Falcon.

At the start of the scene, though, we can see Vader's helmet being lowered down over his head, leaving his discoloured, deeply scarred scalp visible on-screen for about two seconds.

It passes quickly enough that it practically begs fans to go back and pause to take another look - and this was surely especially true when Empire first hit VHS back in 1984.

It's a tiny moment that nevertheless provided an extremely tantalising tease of the full sans-helmet Anakin reveal we'd eventually get to see in Return of the Jedi.
