- Obi-Wan Kenobi's braid magically switches
sides between shots. - S&M
- They re-use the same "audience clapping"
scene. You can tell by the fact that everyone
looks exactly the same, same position, same
action, etc. that's by the "duh theory".

- At the end of the movie when the all of
the jedi's are getting off the ship at the
parade seen you can see a guy who looks alot
like mace windu in the background but it's
not Sam Jackson.- adam
- When Jar Jar passes by the droids (including
R2) on the ship there are 3 droids. Then when
the droids are on the top of the ship there
are 4. - Road Dogg
- The white piece of cloth that Anakin is
holding when everybody leaves appears beside
him when watto says "clean the racks."
there is no indication of him moving it during
his close-up shot. - Steven
- During the end celebration, there will be
a shot looking towards the precession down
the Theed palace steps, with the Queen and
others in the foreground. At the bottom of
the steps, two large statue shadows are seen.
These are never seen again. - Bob
- When Qui-Gon, Jar Jar, Padme, and Anakin
first enter Anakin's house, Qui-Gon introduces
himself to Anakin's mother- as he says this,
Padme is mouthing Qui-Gon's lines. - Winky
- This is during the pod race. Before Anakin's
little gizmo pops out, when Sebulba's engines
are right behind Anakin; he looks back. During
this time, there is a little red dot projected
in his eyes, kind of like a laser pointer.
- Bob
- When Padme is telling everyone about the
"storming the castel" plans, her
lips don't match-up with her lines! uh-oh!
Das not good! - Cerasi
- When the sith droid zooms thought the city,
look closely. It goes through a guy. - Ax
- During the Podrace, one of the racers (I'm
positive he has a name, I just don't remember)
is stopped because his pod won't work. The
droids are all over, and he screams (sort
of quick, but you can still hear it) "Que
pasa, que pasa?" which is Spanish. I
think it means "What's up, what's happening"
but I'm not positive. Something around that.
So Spanish makes it into the movie! Cool!

- In the widescreen edition, when Darth Maul
uses the force to open the door with some
debris during the jedi vs sith battle, look
to the left of him. You can see Obi-Wan walking
slowly and twirling his lightsaber like he
wasn't even fighting the sith. - alli
jinn
- We all know that fire burns hair really
fast, right? So why is it you can see Oui-Gon's
beard, hair and eyebrows while he's being
burned in the end of the movie? That close
up shot was not a good idea at all. - bobafett1hit
- Towads the end of the movie when Darth Maul
pushes Obi-Wan you see Darth Maul's lightsaber
in his right hand but when he force pushes
he uses his right hand and there is no lightsaber.In
the next scene the lightsaber is back in his
right hand. (VHS) - DBZFan
- Towads the beginning of the movie the viceroy
pops up on a hologram and says, "Destroy
what's left of them." If you look at
the droid and the left of the screen in front
after the viceroy says that you will notice
that the droids hand on the gun barrel magicly
goes through the barrel. (VHS) - DBZFan
- During the whole podrace, Anakin is rather
calm as he pilots his racer at incredible
speeds through tight canyons. But when Qui
Gon lifts him into his racer before the race,
Anakin says, "Whoa!" I guess being
lifted three feet is scarier than flying at
Mach 12! (DVD) - Sam
- When Jar Jar is Talking to the Droids just
before they go outside to repair you will
notice there are 2 blue and 1 red, as you
see the 2 R2 units leave their holdings they
are RED ? Then as they go up the shute they
are blue ??? - The
Street
- Now this is a goof. When Qui-Gon Jinn melt
the blast door with his lightsaber onboard
the Trade Federation Ship while his Padawan
Obi-Wan Kenobi covers him... Don't everyone
think that the temperature increase from the
molten metal would be VERY hot? Just look
at Qui-Gon Jinn's hand when he is melting
the blast door... don't you guys think that
his hand is a lil bit too close to the melting?
- Mind of Jedi
- In the scene where they are meeting with
the queen on the ship (the part where she
tells the maiden to clean up R2-D2) when the
queen calls up Qui-Gon, he waits for a second.
This is because he forgot his cue and had
to think for a second. - Strangebrain
- In Theed when Qui-Gon follows the queen
his lightsaber is green and in the next scene
it's yellow and back to green. - jedi
- In the beginning, you can see Obi-Wan has
no braid in his hair and is tied into a small
ponytail. When the droid serves the water,
Obi's ponytail is gone. When they fight the
droids, it reappears. (VHS) - Skorpyo01
- Also, when Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan jump down
from the shaft, Obi's famous braid is back.
(VHS) - Skorpyo01
- This ones hard to catch. After Qui-gon is
stabbed by Darth Maul, Obi Wan fights him
alone. Wait until you see Darth Maul swing
his saber over Obi-Wan's head, who then ducks.
Listen, and you'll hear their sabers make
contact 4 times. It looks like they hit 4
times too. But if you look very carefully,
their sabers only made contact 3 times! it
happens so fast, its hard to catch. I saw
this goof when I was watching their fight
in freeze frame slow motion. It's easier to
see it that way, too. - jedi
mistress
- (Plot holes) Why, when stranded on Tattooine,
couldn't they just sell their damaged, but
still nice, space craft and book passage on
a freighter just like the heroes in the original
Star Wars? Having a princess along would've
given them more sway than Luke and Obi Wan
had when they made their deal with Han Solo.

- (Audio/visual unsynchronised) When Obi-Wan
comes charging into the reactor room after
the Force Doors open, watch and listen carefully.
he swings at Maul three times, all three shots
get blocked, there is definately that flash
of light that indicates that saber blades
have met, however the sound crew only inserted
two sound effects. Oops. (DVD Widescreen)

It's not Darth Maul's fault they made

Everybody and their mother has seen the movie
but in the first series Obi-Wan and Yoda disappeared
after they died but Qui-Gon didn't why? -
adam
- Comment: Well
from what I understand a jedi will only
disappear after death only if he has accomplished
his lives mission example Obi-Wan found
and if you don't mind the pun a new hope
{Luke} his life mission could of been
find the one person who can stop the empire.
Yoda's mission could of been train this
person if that's the case. Qui-Gon didn't
complete his mission there for didn't
vanish. - ash
- Correction:
If Any one has ever actually studied
starwars as I have then you know that
the jedi only disappear if they choose
to do so by releasing their soul to
the force, or medicloreans (the simiotic
life the exert the force) But you
guys wouldn't know that because you
don't take the time to realize that
Yoda died slowly, and Obi-Wan chose
to die for Luke. Qui-Gon died unexpectedly.
- Jedi_Master
- Correction:
Or did he? Why do you think he
was meditating in that scene where
he and Darth Maul were stalled
by the energy barriers? He knew
he was going to die soon, that's
why. Simple logic. - Cren
- Comment: In
any case, George Lucas said in USA Today
(in 1999): "You will discover why
he doesn't disappear. The key line that
serves as a clue is from Ben Kenobi to
Darth Vader (in the original film): 'If
you strike me down I will become more
powerful than you can possibly imagine.'

Huh? Sir Alec Guiness (as well as Ewan

Actually, Zerblig, Ewan McGregor is
Scotish, not British. You are right

Scotland is a part of the BRITISH

you're English and British. Hope
this clears it up. - Pete
- Comment:
I don't mean to go overboard
and off-topic, but the term
"British" comes
from the combination of the
words "Briton" (yes,

was being redundant. - Cren

- Furthermore, who designs the bad guys major
warships or thinks up their strategy? In every
Star Wars movie, it seems one lucky shot is
capable of destroying an entire ship, ships,
I might add, that are the size of Manhattan.
Even a modern battleship needs a good pounding
before it sinks. And you'd think that control
of the enemy forces on Naboo could be transferred
to another ship if need be. I expected better.
- thatjerryguy
- Comment: How
soon we forget. The HMS Hood (a good guy's
ship) was sank with one shell from the
Bismark (a bad guy's ship) when the shell
exploded in the Hood's powder magazine
and sank as fast as Droid Army Control
Ship took to fall aprart. The USS Arizona
sank where it was berthed when one lucky
armor piercing bomb hit its mark and exploded
in the ship's powder magazine. The USS
Indianapolis sank after it was hit by
just one Japanese torpedo. There may have
been countless other "lucky shots"
that have occurred dunring the past several
hundred years of warfare, so it is conceivable
despite how well a craft may have been
designed that one "lucky shot"
could destroy it. The attacks on the Death
Stars were planned based on intelligence
recieved from the rebel spy network. Skill
and planning was involved not luck. Annakin's
shot was a lucky shot. - Ben-O-53

DUHH! Have you ever seen R2-D2 move his
head around?!? Couldn't he just have spun

- The scene where anakin is showing padme
his C-3PO robot he has C-3PO's eye in his
right hand then as he places it in C-3PO's
eye it's in his left hand. - koma
- Comment: I
think it's about the age of 6 months that
a baby learns to move objects from one
hand to another. So I don't find it too
amazing that Anakin can do it. - Smarty
- I somewhat object to the re-use of Tatooine
as a location for the events in the films.
We learned in the first series (4-6) that
Obi-Wan 'hid' Luke from his father, Vader,
on Tatooine. Now in Episode One, we learn
that Tatooine is Vader's native planet! Isn't
it a bit stupid of Obi-Wan to hide Luke from
Vader on Vader's native planet??!! - MarkD
- Comment: Not
necessarily. Tattooine was the home planet
of ANAKIN, not Vader. Before becoming
Darth Vader, Anakin had undergone a total
mental and spiritual conversion (and to
a great extent, a physical one as well,
since Vader's body depends on machinery
to survive). This was such a conversion,
in fact that when Luke lets himself get
captured on Endor to get close to Vader
(qv: EP6), Vader bluntly informs Luke
that "that name (Anakin Skywalker)
no longer has any meaning for me".
Now...perhaps Vader didn't remember much
of his past life (as Luke stated him when
he replied, "it is the name of your
true self; you've only forgotten").
On the other hand, it's entirely possible
that Vader didn't WANT to remember his
past (with the trauma he'd have gone through,
during his fall to the Dark Side, it's
certainly understandable). In either case,
hiding Luke to grow up on Tattooine may
not have been as stupid as it'd seem on
the surface; perhaps "Old Ben"
deserves more credit than that. - Ycekhold
- (Continuity) When Jar Jar gets his hand
stuck in the podracer, Padmé helps

just Padmé leaning toward the podracer!
- brandz
- Comment: Although
there was an actor used as a stand in
and to provide the voice of Jar Jar (I
believe his name was Ahmed Best) he was
a computer generated character. It makes
sense that Portman would just mime the
scene without any actor and Jar Jar would
be added later. - queeneve

- In Ep.I young Anakin not only builds his
own pod racer, but is the only human who can
race it. He also claims and apparently fixes
Qui Gon's Naboo fighter when it's standed
on Tatooine. Then, when hiding in the cockpit
of a Naboo fighter in the final scenes, he
acts confused..."what does this button
do?"...and seems to win the day by mere
luck (which Obi-Wan dismisses in Star Wars: A New Hope) by toggling different switches.
If he were such the child genius he should
have adapted to the Naboo fighter, the same
type that he fixed a few scenes earlier, and
flown it with the agility of a pilot that
he is recognized as being. - mistermyxleplyx
- Correction:
First, Qui-Gon did not have a fighter,
it was Princess Amidala's ship. Second,
Anakin had absolutely NOTHING to do with
fixing the ship. He didn't even see the
ship until they were leaving. Just because
he fixes things does not necessarily mean
he can assertain exactly how something
works by simply osmosis, or how ever mistermyxleplyx
thinks "genius'" should. When
did he see this figher before??? Is this
a different movie than what I saw? - HJonesJR
- Obi-Wan says in Episode 4 that The blast
points were too accurate for sandpeople and
that only Stormtroopers were so precise. But
in Episode 1, The Sandpeople hit the Podracers
whizzing by at 600 mph every shot! And in
Episodes 4-6, the Stormtroopers can't hit
anything! - Bob
- Correction:
Excuse me, stormtroopers are lousy marksman,
but don't tell me they can't even shoot
a sandcrawler which is at least the size
of a large building on the move? Come
on... and, obviously sandpeople don't
really have the firepower to mow down
a LARGE sandcrawler... they basically
just use a damn sniper rifle, sort of...
- Mind of Jedi
- I'm not sure about this, so please correct
me if I'm wrong. I thought I remember the
two dudes that controlled the trade federation
ship were in the control room as it blew up.
Yet, you find them as prisoners at the end
of the movie. (DVD) - Thebuster2000
- Correction:
Excuse me, but the two idiotic viceroy
is in the throne room on naboo (remember
Captain Panaka's lines during the siege
of the castle? Captain Panaka: My guess
is the viceroy is in the throne room),
the one on the droid control ship is just
another pathetic creature. - Mind
of Jedi
- Correction:
At the beginning of the movie, the viceroy's
associate fears the Jedi. When Darth Sidious
comments on how he does "not want
to see this (something) slime" in
his sight again, he goes off. When the
second associate comes in, you have to
note his different headdress, voice, and
facial appearance. Only one of those 2
bodies is on the droid control ship at
the time of its destruction. Also, you
clearly see the viceroy and his other
associate in the throne room right before
Queen Amidala says "Now viceroy we
shall discuss a new treaty...". Those
are the ones you see "prisoner"
at the end. Also, they were not prisoner;
they were in guilt knowing that they had
to explain everything to the senate. -

- There is an argument that Obi-Wan refers
to Yoda as his trainer in Empire Strikes Back,
yet is seen being trained by Qui-Gon in Phantom
Menace. There are two movies left and Qui-Gon
is gone; Yoda is seen counciling the *novice*
jedi, Obi-Wan in the last scenes of Ep.I.
Also, in the first scene, Obi-Wan makes a
reference to Yoda's teachings with,"...but
master Yoda said to always be aware of the
future" or something to that extent.
Anyway, Yoda's prowess and throne in the hierarchy
of the Jedi Council is well established. I
believe that the question of Obi-Wan's training
remains to be seen and people should not be
so quick to judge/condem such a fun movie.
- mistermyxleplyx
- Explanation:
Children in the Republic during Episode
I's time are tested for medichlorians
(sp) at age 1. If they are found to be
Force-sensitive, they are taken to the
Jedi Temple and instructed until they
either become a Padawan to a Master, or
turn 13, at which point they are given
a different job. Obi-Wan was trained under
Yoda until he was 12 and 3/4's years old.
- StarLion
- More comments on this
subjects is found on the Empire
Strikes Back page.
- Queen Amidala claimed her people had no
standing army, just a police force for internal
problems. So why did they have enough of an
Air Force to mount a major attack against
a fleet of battlecruisers and their defending
fighters? Hello. Also, Jar Jar Binks claimed
his tribe was a "warrior race".
So why didn't they overrun and conquer the
humans on Naboo, who, according to the Queen,
had no standing army? Isn't that what "warrior
races" do? No, instead they hid under
a lake. What a bunch of old ladies. - thatjerryguy
- Comment: Ok,
#1 The Jerry Guy, you said that the queen
said that they have no standing army.
That is true, but that has nothing to
do with the air force. Just like here,
the air force is not the army. #2, you
said that the gungans are a warrior people
and would overun the naboos. The gungans
received supplies through trade with the
Naboo that made sure they survived. The
same with the Naboos, they lived off eachother.
Hello. - Kendall
- Explanation:
Hey -ThatJerryguy- and -kindall-
The answer to why the gungans don't
overrun the Naboo is because, the
Gungans don't like to come to the
surface very often and would rather
keep the tension off their back, and
they have had their conflicts in the
past. Especially when the Naboo first
arrived on the planet as colonists
from their real home world. - Jedi_Master
- This may not be a goof, but if Anakin Skywalker
built C-3PO in Episode One, would he not have
recognized his creation in Episodes 4-6? -
Zerblig
- Explanation:
C-3P0 and Darth Vader never met in the
movies. (Go ahead, try and prove me wrong)
That's why he doesn't recognize him.
- Explanation:
I don't have to try very hard to prove
that Vader meets C-3PO; the droid
is present (albeit on Chewie's back)
when Vader freezes Han in the carbonite
freezing room in Cloud City. Lucas
has said that the issue of Vader not
recognizing C-3PO will be addressed
in the prequel trilogy. I think the
simplest answer is that C-3PO goes
through a number of changes (we don't
know yet what he'll look like the
last time Anakin/Vader sees him in
Episodes II and III) and/or protocol
droids don't look all that different
from each other. C-3PO encouters a
look-alike in Cloud City (the one
that says an alien word to C-3PO who
responds "how rude!"), not
to mention the droid that escorts
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan aboard the Trade
Federation Cruiser in the opening
scenes. - Natrone
Fett
- In the beginning of the movie both Qui-Gon
and Obi-Wan use jedi super speed to escape
from the droids why then did Obi-Wan not use
at the end to run pass the laser gates to
help his master. - timeshadow
- Explanation:
Quite simply, if he would have used jedi
speed to race to Qui-Gon's rescue, he
(Obi-wan) would not have been able to
be at full strength when facing Maul.
Remember, Jedi have limited strength like
everyone else! - polish_jedi
- Did anyone find it odd that Qui Gon Jinn,
who was standing right next to Senator Palpatine,
didn't feel a powerful "disturbance in
the Force"? And I would think that the
Jedi Council would be able to feel a Sith
Lord's presence coming from the Senate--but
apparently they didn't even notice. - AI
- Explanation:
Actually, in the scene where Qui Gon is
talking to the Jedi counsel, Yoda informs
us, "Hard to see, the dark side is."
(or something exactly like that--- I don't
have the exact quote). - Rick
- Explanation:
On Qui-Gon not being able to sense the
dark side in Palpatine, this is more or
less explained in AOTC with Yoda claiming
that the 'dark side clouds everything'
and Dooku's speech to Obi-Wan. - Darth
Cool
- I'm not sure if this is technichally a goof
but, if Anakin Skywalker built C-3PO, doesn't
it seem strange that in Episode 4 C-3PO doesn't
even mention to Luke that he was built on
the same planet by a guy with the same name.
- Rick
- Correction:
With regards to C-3PO not remembering
the skywalkers, first of all he is a robot,
his memory can be erased. In fact Luke's
uncle Owen planned to do this to him.
He did also mention that his last master
was captain someone or other, so he probably
had his memory flushed already. And please
don't ask how he mantained being a protocol
droid. They just left that info when they
flushed him. - Jon
C.
- Explanation:
George Lucas has now declared that both
robots will somehow have their memories
erased in the final part of the prequel
trilogy. - Darth Cool
- Comment: First
of all, the idea of recognizing own droid
is simply a goof itself... there are thousands,
perhaps MILLIONS of droids with the same
look like C-3PO. Anakin build it, but
did not design it. Even if he design it...
it is still not possible to recognise
droids. C-3PO is a just a protocol droid.
Just like another droid! - Mind

- When Yoda dies, he turns to the ghost and
his body disappears. When OB1 dies, he turns
into a ghost and his body disappears. When
Vader dies, he turns into a ghost and his
body DOESN'T disappear. When Quin Gon Gin
dies, his body doesn't disappear. Unless he
shows up as a ghost in the episode 2, I would
think this is a flaw. Do you have to dispose
the body for the ghost to show up? - thebuster2000
- Explanation:
For a jedi to disappear when they die
they must either except their death or
be giving their life for a cause. They
also would disappear if they have completed
their meaning or mission in life. - gl_bustr

I can't explain why Qui Gon didn't vanish
after his death (I wondered the same thing)
but I must inform you that Vader's body
did disappear. Luke burned his empty armor

if they used blasters, Maul would deflect
them. - Barvaze
- At the beginning of the big fight scene
between Qui Gon, Obi Wan, and Darth Maul,
Obi wan is behind Darth Maul. Darth Maul's
back is totally exposed to Obi Wan, but Obi
Wan doesn't even try to take a swipe at his
back! - jedi
mistress
- Explanation:
The reason for this is simply - A Jedi
will not strike down a defenseless or
unaware person, even a Sith. They have
honor and codes of conduct that they live
by and to strike down Maul while his back
was turned would be cold-blooded. Even
given the circumstances, it would be morally
wrong to do so. - Adm.
