* {{Narm}}: Exclusive to the 1997 Special Edition, Luke’s scream while falling down the shaft falls into this hard. Not only is the scream itself incredibly goofy-sounding due to it being [[Film/ReturnOfTheJedi Palpatine’s death scream]] set to a lower pitch, which isn’t even remotely close to what Luke’s voice actually sounds like, but it was also edited in right after the iconic and incredibly dramatic LukeIAmYourFather reveal, which means that its comical nature completely ruins the mood and makes Luke’s DrivenToSuicide moment hilarious. To his credit, Creator/GeorgeLucas seemed to realize how Narmy this was and removed it from the DVD release a few years later despite keeping the other Special Edition changes.

** During the Battle of Hoth, it's supposed to be a chaotic and hectic nightmare of a losing battle. SpecialEffectsFailure kicks in for early parts of the battle, however, when the camera cuts down to the rebel forces on the ground warfare casually walking about in the trenches like blaster bolts aren't flying ''right by their heads''. It's only after the first AT-AT Walker gets taken down and everyone realizes [[KnowWhenToFoldThem it's time to retreat]] that the actors react properly to the battlefield.

*** During the AT-AT battle, the Snowspeeders (and related shots, as per WordOfGod) were not printed at their full opacity in an attempt to minimize the black border from matte-merging in post. This is evident in a view from the cockpit. Like the Wampa example, this was eventually fixed.
