11 Hidden Star Wars Movie Details You Never Noticed
2. Luke And Han's Utility Belts
Part of A New Hope sees Luke Skywalker and Han Solo traversing the Death Star in stormtrooper outfits in an attempt to rescue Princess Leia. This sequence gave us hilarious bits such as Chewbacca scaring away a mouse droid and Han trying to negotiate with an imperial officer before blasting their communication system, but it also ended on a strong note of genius.
Once Han and Luke no longer required their disguise, both of them returned to their normal outfits... almost entirely. Both men hung onto the stormtrooper utility belts, which makes a lot of sense on a massive planet-destroying weapon littered with stormtroopers. You'd have to assume the belts had some useful items inside of them designed specifically for the Death Star, and eagle-eyed viewers might've even noticed Luke take advantage of his.
The grappling hook that Luke uses later on to escape from the stormtroopers came from their own utility belt. Disguising themselves as stormtroopers was smart enough to begin with, but holding onto those utility belts helps show how credible Luke & Han really are.
