Just watched ROTJ...there's another black guy in the movie! He was a rebel pilot who got blown up during the attack on the Death Star, so he was only on screen for about two seconds. So, that brings the grand total of black actors in the OT to......TWO!!

Also, and I think this has been mentioned before, but the word "Ewok" isn't mentioned at all in ROTJ. I didn't realize that until somebody told me recently.

And 'Ewok' is 'Wookiee' with the syllables reversed.
God bless Wookiepedia! grin

The Imperial Commander who grabs Leia when he spots Luke's shadow approaching in Cloud City - I always assumed it was so she didn't try to escape, but on watching it again the other day, he's using her almost like a shield as if he thinks he's about to be shot at.

If you look in the background of ANH, you can find all of the R model astromechs, 1 through 5.

In ESB, I had never noticed that the silver protocol droid at the Hoth base was sitting in a tangle of wires right, obviously deactivated, when Vader and his troops break into the control room. That also explains exactly why 3PO made his remark about a familiar face when that droid showed up on Cloud City.

I noticed in ESB right before R2 is thrown onto the land on Dagobah Luke slips on the log or rock h's standing on.

The Scout-Trooper that the rebels accost on their way into the shield generator seems to be re-accosted on their way out when the Empire arrives to capture the rebels, and what looks like the trooper, as well. He's standing there without his mask on with his hands over his head with the rest of the rebel soldiers that took him unawares.

In RotJ, I never noticed until my latest viewing that there was a Rebel soldier up on top of the shield bunker for a second or two.

I just noticed Obi-Wan could talk to Chewie in ANH. You would think I would notice that after years of watching it.

Actually, what is going there is: The Ewok steals the bike and two troopers chase after, leaving the one behind. The Rebels catch him and take his armor, and one of the Rebels puts it on, probably so he can keep the other two from calling for help if they come back, or any other troopers that might show up. Actually, now that I think about the scene, a moment for this thread occurs when Han and Leia open the door, (I'm pretty sure) if you watch the background as they enter the bunker, you can see a rebel soldier putting on the trooper's helmet.

It wasn't until after many many viewings that I noticed Luke crying as Vader's armor is being burned at the end of RotJ.

HD has really cleared some things up so to speak.
