** According to the junior novelization the lyrics were being improvised on the spot by Sy Snootles. They ''would'' have been banned by the Empire... But not for praising the Jedi, but for being ''[[BawdySong too saucy]]'', enough that Bib Fortuna was embarrassed at hearing it. 3PO, on the other hand, was bewildered by [[YouNoTakeCandle the horrible grammar]]. But as Jabba liked it, they weren't suicidal enough to protest.

* As the Super Star Destroyer ''Executor'' plummets towards the Death Star, the Rebels on Admiral Ackbar's flagship ''Home One'' start cheering wildly. And if you listen carefully, you can hear someone exclaim, "SO LONG, DICKHEADS!" Also hilarious is the reactions of Admiral Piett and Commander Gherant on the ''Executor''[='s=] bridge just before the A-wing crashes into it.

*** There's also a bit of humor in that his later appearances in both ''Legends'' and canon all portray him as a total badass. Here? He gets fought to a standstill by a novice Jedi only somewhat paying attention, and then taken out ''accidentally'' by a blind man with a pole.



* When the rebels are sneaking into the shield generator on Endor, Luke tells Han to be careful so he is not seen. Han responds with a cocky, "Hey. It's me!" The look Luke and Leia exchange is priceless.

The look Luke and Leia exchange is priceless. It's particularly funny because it's one of the moments that clearly shows they're siblings; they're very clearly thinking the exact same thing.

** The fact that, when Han asks Leia if she loves Luke, instead of immediately telling Han the truth, she says "yes" and lets him wallow in his own insecurities for about ten seconds before revealing that she means as a brother.

*** He's been in some real crap locations over the years - Mustafar, which is a planet ''full of erupting molten lava'', and Dagobah, which is filthy and full of swamps that he's ''literally been submerged in'' and sand- so the forested moon of Endor, to R2, probably ''is'' pretty; it's certainly a welcome change from the rest!

* To some, the newly-added [[BigNo NOOOOOOOOOOOO!]] during the scene with the Emperor torturing Luke and Vader killing him for the Blu-Ray releases. Evidently Lucas didn't have enough confidence in his viewers to understand the desperate conflict within Vader through us looking at his emotionless mask and having the dramatic music play, and decided that we needed some kind of indication that Vader was going to kill Palpatine and not, say, lift him up to change a lightbulb.

* Right after Jabba laughs at Luke's demand 'You'll bring Captain Solo and the Wookiee to me' Luke briefly looks at an almost naked Leia before quickly looking back at Jabba. It's... very awkward (especially since he doesn't yet know that Leia is his sister!)
