10 More Star Wars Mistakes You Can't Unsee

And speaking of one of the most terrifying Sith the galaxy has ever known, has there ever been a more impressive and intimidating introduction to a character than the moment Darth Vader first strutted onto the big-screen back in 1977?

With the one-time Anakin Skywalker mercilessly strangling this Rebel as he searches for the stolen Death Star plans, your eyes weren't immediately pulled to the Imperial Stormtroopers stood around watching the poor lad having the life squeezed out of him.

But if you do take a closer look at the left knee of a trooper to the right of Vader in the wide shot as the ruthless villain hoists the Rebel scum up by his neck, you'll find that the armour there goes through a baffling change as the scene continues.
