15 Stupid Star Wars Movie Mistakes You Probably Missed
11. Vader Does Not Bonk His Head - Return Of The Jedi
Star Wars has a beloved running gag about characters bonking their heads off of low hanging doors. This was because an extra playing a stormtrooper in A New Hope can be seen hitting their head while entering a room. In later rereleases of the film, a bonk sound effect was added to the scene, making it even more hilarious.
Attack Of The Clones would pay homage to the scene, as Jango Fett also bonks his head while making his escape from Obi-Wan Kenobi. But that wasn’t the only time someone would have a mishap with a door in Attack of The Clones. When Anakin and Padme land on Geonosis, they enter the droid factory through a mechanical door, where it's clear to see Anakin’s head phasing through it.
What’s ironic is that when Anakin becomes Darth Vader, he does the exact same thing in Return Of The Jedi. When Vader is seen disembarking his personal ship on Endor, you can see the top of his head phasing through the front of his ship.
Yet another stupid mistake that slipped its way into the final cut of the movie.
