Trivia: Luke and Han’s meeting in Jabba’s palace is the first time that Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill have been onscreen together since saying their goodbyes in Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back (1980).
Goofs: Miscellaneous: After C3PO gives himself up outside the bunker entrance in preparation for the Ewok ambush, the commander shouts “Bring those two down here”. Both the current and subsequent shots reveal that he could only possibly have know that C3PO was there as R2D2 was completely out of view to the Imperial forces.
