14. Jango Fett Bumps His Head - Attack Of The Clones
People tend to write off George Lucas as some of kind of humourless neckbeard lacking any amount of self-awareness just because he created Jar Jar Binks, but this moment in Attack Of The Clones proves otherwise. Remember in A New Hope, then, when that infamous Stormtrooper - rather hilariously - bashed his head on the top of that doorway? Oh, how everybody laughed. Except George Lucas, right? Lucas probably got grumpy and had a fit because of said gaff. Nope: George Lucas presumably found the whole thing quite amusing - especially since he opted to include a reference to the goof in Attack Of The Clones by way of Jango Fett, who - whilst boarding Slave I - bashes his own head on the low clearance door in a playful homage to the classic error. Get it? Because Stormtroopers were cloned from Jango Fett. And then they inherited his tendency to be head-clumsy. Yeah, you get it.
