I read a rumour online that stated you could see through Darth Vader's mask eye-lenses at the end of the movie, during the Death Star trench scene, and see David Prowse's eyes(Darth Vader's 'body' actor in Eps I -> III). I had some free time today and slow-mo'ed through my Special Edition DVD with these parts with Darth Vader and confirmed this (see pic 1). More interestingly, and I think I'm the first to see this, it seems like digital artists have composited Hayden Christian's "yellow" eye onto a shot (see pic 2). This is weird because you can see both David Prowse's eye AND Hayden Christian's "yellowed" eye super-imposed above it. It happens at 01:50:32 on my UK, Region 2 DVD. I used VLC to alter "Adjust and effects" to find these. For my monitor, hue is set to lowest, Contrast is set full, brightness is set to ~80%, saturation 50% and gamma 10%.

These mash-ups are fun and nicely made.

Lego builders who are also Star Wars fans love to make original scenes from the movie out of Lego. This scene from “Return of the Jedi” is the 30,000-piece Lego model with 388 Star Wars minifigures.

Look, R2D2 is everywhere! It can be anything that surrounds you if only you are a big fan of Star Wars.

The characters from Disney playing characters from Star Wars are both interesting and amusing. They are interesting because no matter how you dress the Disney characters up to look like Star Wars characters, you can still tell Donald Duck when you see him.

There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes in a movie. That is especially true if that movie is Star Wars. There is a lot of characters having fun along with the serious business on making the movie.
