SCENE:
In the trash compactor after Han jumps in.
EVENT:
When Han lands, he fires his blaster at the door in an attempt to open it. The
blast hits the door on the left, and creates a dark grey discolouration. In the
next and subsequent scenes, the blaster burns disappear, reappear and move all over
the door.

|
|
| |
|
SCENE:
After you hear the roar of the Dianoga in the trash compactor and right before he
is pulled under.
EVENT:
Luke turns his head and moves his mouth, but nothing comes out. It is quite easy to
read Luke's lips saying "What's that?". A moment later you see him do it again but
you can only catch the end of what he said and therefore cannot decipher it.

SCENE:
Luke gets pulled underwater by the trash compactor beast and our heroes wait for
him to resurface.
EVENT:
Leia and Han wait nervously for their friend to come out of the water. The camera
cuts to Leia as she leans to our left against some garbage. The camera then goes in
for a close-up of Leia who is now leaning forward and to our right, with no time to
change between the camera shots.

|
|
| |
|
SCENE:
When Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewie are inside the trash compactor, in the Death Star.
EVENT:
After the compactor has started and Luke is yelling into the comlink, the camera
cuts to C-3PO's comlink sitting on the table, and then to the security door. The
door opens and Stormtroopers walk in. The trooper behind and on the right of the
lead trooper hits his head.

| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
SCENE:
Artoo and Threepio are found by the imperials in the control room.
EVENT:
One stormtrooper hangs back to guard the door, which is low enough for someone to
hit their head on. The camera cuts to a different angle and there is all of a
sudden plenty of clearance between the trooper's head and the bottom of the door.

Indecisive Chewie

|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
SCENE:
While our heroes are trapped in the trash compactor, after Han speaks the line
"One thing is for sure, we're all going to be a lot thinner."
EVENT:
We are shown a medium close up of Chewbacca who is pushing against the wall with
his hands. He then turns to our right to grab his blaster. We are then shown a shot
from further away where Chewie is once again pushing against the wall. After a few
seconds, Chewie turns around again to grab his blaster.

Space Age Metal
|
1h 18m 13s
1h 20m 39s SE
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
SCENE:
Right after we hear Threepio say "Use the comlink? Oh my, I forgot."
EVENT:
The camera cuts back to our heroes in the trash compactor. Leia grabs a metal pole
to try and brace the walls. Watch her left hand as she grabs it. It actually
"crunches" momentarily when she clutches it, and when she loosens her grip, it
returns to normal suggesting a VERY weak metal not even worth trying to brace the
wall with.

|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
SCENE:
Just before the droids disable the trash compactor.
EVENT:
We are shown a wide shot where Chewie is bracing the wall with his bowcaster and he
is keeping it steady. We cut to a close up of the wookie who is pushing against the
wall with his hands. Finally we cut back to a wide shot where Chewie is once again
bracing the wall with his bowcaster.

Colourful Trash

1h 19m 58s
1h 22m 24s SE
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
SCENE:
Han, Leia, Luke, and Chewbacca have exited the trash compactor and begin to
compose themselves.
EVENT:
In the first scene, if you look past our heroes and through the door into the trash
compactor, you will notice that the contents of the room are very dark. Lots of
browns and blacks. However, in all the camera shots afterwards, if you look through
the door, there are orange objects on the left side resembling road pylons that
were not there before.

|
|
|
| |
|
SCENE:
Our heroes have escaped the trash compactor. Leia and Han are exchanging insults.
EVENT:
Keep an eye on Luke while Leia says "From now on, you do what I tell you." He is
holding his blaster in his left hand, which is up by his head. When the camera cuts
to a different angle, Luke's left hand is down by his side.
