In ESB, they use a tennis shoe for one of the asteroids. It comes flying through the screen just before the Falcon decends to the big asteroid.

In TESB, when Leia is briefing the pilots, they all have Helmets that were blown up in ANH.

Approximately 92% of men touched themselves when they first saw Leia in her metal bikini.
Of course, as part of the same survey, it was learned that 74% of men wished they were Jabba the Hutt, 33% percent wished they were his dancing girl Oola, and 4% has no grasp whatsoever of basic arithmetic.

Darth Vader is actually Luke's father.
Not impressed, watch vader closely when he throws Palpatine over the edge, and you can see hardware in his skeleton when he is lit up by the lightning.

I don't remember where I read this, but in ESB one of the Imperial officers escorting Han in carbonite was Jeremy Bulloch (without his Fett costume on) How he zipped up in his other costume so quickly was beyond me

Rob Fett is right about Jeremy Bulloch. He also plays the pilot of the Tantive IV in Ep. III when Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Bail are heading back to Coruscant (when Bail gets the message from about a special session of the Senate).

Very early on during filming, Obi-Wan was supposed to survive and make it to Yavin with the Falcon. However, Alec Guiness and George Lucas were talking, and came to the conclusion that Obi-Wan "wouldn't have much to do" once they left the Death Star. That prompted a script change to kill off Obi-Wan.

In ESB, the original script didn't have Luke being attacked by the Wampa. They put that in the movie when Mark Hamill was in a car accident and got a scar. This scene, then, would "explain away" the scar that Luke had.

There is also a potatoe in the asteroid field and when Jeremy Bulloch was suppose to say the line 'put captain solo in the cargo hold'... He said 'Put captain cargo in the solo hold' instead...

Originally, in the early drafts of the script, Lando was supposed to be a Clone, but an independent one. This was the reason why Leia never trusted him, and even though him being a clone was removed from the story, her mistrust remains. She had assumed that the fact he was a clone, he would have links with the Empire, so when he betrays them, she thinks it's just typical of a clone.
Would have been a nice thing to make it, a Clone destroying the second Death Star lol

That's not such a secret, it gets repeated by Jango... The joke is supposidly the stormtroopers do it also because they are clones of him.

No joke-first off, Ewan McGreggor is the nephew of the person who played Wedge in the original, whose name is evading me.
And-serious here, folks- in ROTJ, Leia's slave costume was a bit too big, and so it would occasionally slip off.
No really.
Earlier scripts had Lando dying on the way out of the Death Star, there being a "Knight-hunter" named Valorum, jedi were called dia-noga (notive anything bout that?) and Han was going to be cast as a green alien. Sorta like a Rodian...
There were others, i just cant remember.
Oh-in TESB, at one point where C3PO is about to be shot, there is a reflection of the camera crew on his head. Or after hes shot and they find his pieces. Somewhere around there. That enough?

Well yes, the one playing wedge antilles was normally returning for a cameo, playing Bail Antilles I believe in episode III, but due to schedule reasons he couldn't make it... Same with Panaka, he was going to return, but couldn't because he was stuck in the same show series as Wedge. A show in a hospital on the BBC... damn them lol

There are a lot of mirrored shots actually. You can see quite a few with Obi-Wan in ep I for example. When he says the line "Why do I sense we've picked another pathetic lifeform" you can see his braid is on the other side. In episode II, it's Anakin's braid who is mirrored in the fight with Dooku when you see him fighting in the blue, red light. I know they corrected one mirrored scene in the ESB (somewhere where the Falcon is trying to escape from the Executor), where the patches of the officers were mirrored, they digitally replaced them.

The character Ketwol (a Pacithhip) was added to the SE of ANH to replace Lak Sivrak (the Shistavanen) in the Mos Eisley Cantina.
The Ketwol puppet's head was reversed, covered with a red turban and used for the character of Melas (a Sarkan), as well. Melas replaced Arleil Schous (the Defel) in the SE.
