8 More Background Actors In Star Wars Who Got Themselves Noticed
7. The Officer Trying To Keep A Star Destroyer From Falling Apart
Not for the last time on this list, this is an example of a background actor very much unintentionally getting themselves noticed during a Star Wars movie.
Remember that moment during Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back when the Millennium Falcon is trying to evade the Empire and very nearly sends some star destroyers crashing into one another? Said gigantic Imperial vessels are forced to take evasive action, and it's in this moment when something rather hilarious occurs.
You see, if you look closely as the various Imperial officers below react to their ship suddenly moving to avoid a collision, one poor extra accidentally ends up tumbling into one of the consoles nearby.
And it's here when said piece of set comically moves position, with the background artist exposing the Empire's computers as little more than a hollow box not designed to be smashed into by an overly enthusiastic actor.
It's a small mishap, but one that has since been spotted by a decent amount of Star Wars lovers in subsequent re-releases, leading to many a chuckle at the unfortunate Imperial performer who got their attention for all the wrong reasons.
