10 More Star Wars Changes George Lucas Made That Were Completely Justified

One of the most iconic moments in all of Star Wars is of course the infamous beat in A New Hope where a Stormtrooper hits their head on a door frame while entering the Death Star's control room.

You're probably aware that it's a genuine mistake which accidentally found its way into the final film, yet the head-bump has become such a legendary, even mythic piece of pop-culture history in its own right that even Lucas couldn't bring himself to erase it for the 2004 DVD.

Quite the opposite, in fact.

Lucas decided to add an audible "bump" sound effect when the Stormtrooper's helmet makes contact with the door, which really only makes the whole scene that much more hilarious.

Sure, it transforms the scene from a "subtler" Easter egg into something more outwardly slapstick that everybody notices, but when you've got something this funny in the can, why not lean into it a little?

More to the point, the sound effect is just so damn satisfying every single time.
