* SeeTheWhitesOfTheirEyes: Lando orders the Rebel fleet to close with the Imperial fleet, figuring their odds of surviving a knife fight with the Star Destroyers are much better than their odds of surviving being {{Sitting Duck}}s out in the open for the [[SuperWeaponSurprise Death Star.]] And if the Death Star ''still'' lets fly with the superlaser, collateral damage against the Imperial forces is a near-certainty.

*** Another example related to this plot point occurs during the ''very first scene''. Vader warns Jerjerrod that the Emperor is ''most'' insistent that construction on the Death Star is up to speed when he arrives. The reason why becomes clear when the battle begins.

* DeathIsDramatic: Boba Fett is killed off ''by accident'' by being pushed onto the maws of a Sarlacc, despite having been hyped as a force to be reckoned in ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''.

* ConspicuousConsumption: Jabba The Hutt runs a criminal empire on Tatooine, where most people are slaves, farmers, peasants, and thieves struggling to make a living in the sandy wastes. Jabba by contrast lives in a cool, air-conditioned palace where he's perpetually entertained by dancers, musicians, scantily-clad slave women, his personal jester, lavish meals that he [[JabbaTableManners gobbles down greedily,]] and a small collection of monsters he regularly feeds people to for his amusement. He's constantly in need of new droids because he keeps having his old ones destroyed (read: tortured to death) for petty reasons, like a toddler breaking his toys. When he plans to execute our heroes, he does so in a massive sand barge that roars over the barren planet blaring loud music and serving exotic drinks. Even Jabba's design as a grotesque, morbidly obese slug who can barely move under his own power is designed to indicate the worst excesses of greed, gluttony, and selfishness.

* LiteralDisarming: During the FinalBattle, Vader loses his hand (chronologically for the second time) to Luke, which allows the latter to win the duel between them through making Luke realize just how close to TheDarkSide he's coming.

* ClothingDamage: A non-fanservice example. During the final battle, Luke gets the collar of his black suit torn open, showing the light gray lining of his jacket underneath. This is to show us that [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience he's overcome the Dark Side that was building up since the beginning of the movie.]]

* AttackItsWeakPoint: The Empire learns from the first Death Star when building the second. Instead of having a small number of exhaust ports big enough to shoot through, it has lots of tiny ones across its surface, all too small to be targeted. Unfortunately for them, the Battle of Endor takes place before the outer shell is finished, allowing the Rebels to fly starfighters straight into the reactor as soon as the planetside shield generator fails.

* NoodleIncident: Mon Mothma doesn't elaborate on how exactly they got the intel about the Second Death Star, other than to mention that it involved the deaths of many Bothans. She looks particularly distraught when she brings it up.[[note]]It is explained in the CanonDiscontinuity ''Literature/ShadowsOfTheEmpire'' series that the rebels took the plans from an Imperial Freighter called the Suprosa. A Diamond Boron Missile was fired from the freighter into a Bothan Y-Wing squadron resulting in their deaths.[[/note]]
