was not tied uup when they were carrying him on the log with the ewoks. If you look closely when they are carrying I think it's a wig and they don't let you see his face and he would be too heavy I think it was a kid. How would he get carried by kids that short he must've weighed atleast 185.

Just how "major" is this "goof"? I've seen ROTJ probably 40 or 50 times, and I've never noticed this. Does it really require its own thread?

I dont see it. Are you talking about the shot on the bridge where 3cpo is being carried, followed by R2 then Luke ? If so, Im not even sure if its Luke or Han in the third place.

For a second, I thought you were talking about Luke's "Force kick" during the sarlaac fight. It was a goof, but it looks kinda cool.

Hahaha Bobba Fett flying in the background. It looks pretty bad, the fact that Luke kicks above the guys head and he's all like "omgz" and falls over. That gif. is getting saved, it looks pretty damn funny.

I believe that footage of Luke's boot to the guy's head was shot with two cameras located in different positions.
If you notice that's the second time Luke kicks the same guy in the head. Luke kicks him once while Boba is taking aim at Luke from the other skiff and then Luke kicks him again when Boba is flying uncontrollably through the air. So for the second boot to the head, it appears, to me, that they recycled the same portion of action sequence that was just shot with a different camera and then they composited Fett flying uncontrollably through the air in the background.

Luke's first boot to the guy's head looks like it connects because of the postion of the camera but the scene shot from the position of the other camera reveals the truth. It was probably during editing that they decided to use the same portion of the action sequence that was shot from a different angle to composite Fett flying in the background and they just used what they had.

It actually is pretty intresting the way they put it together but they should have picked up the scene with Fett flying through after Luke kicked the guy in the head because the timing is off unless Luke was standing there kicking the guy multiple times.

Speaking of goofs, anybody really pay attention to when Luke kicks Vader down the stairs and he just sorta cartwheels over an invisible cushion of air?
