Best Star Wars Bloopers You've Never Seen

George Lucas made the first chapter in the saga on a shoestring budget, and it shows in Episode IV's blooper collection. It starts with a Rebel Alliance officer's helmet falling off at the worst possible moment, which sets the tone for a series of funny mistakes. Poor Anthony Daniels totters over into a sand dune in his C-3PO suit, the cover disguising the wheels under Luke's landspeeder tears off during a ride across the desert, and an alien accidentally snaps his finger in the Mos Eisley cantina—and that's all in the first 45 seconds of this collection of A New Hope blunders.

You'll also see Peter Cushing flubbing a line in character as Grand Moff Tarkin, cracking up Carrie Fisher, and Sir Alec Guinness giving some classic side-eye to Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca) after some clumsy arm movement. The actors weren't the only ones messing up, either, as demonstrated by the sight of some poor stormtroopers struggling to get through a blast opening that was cut too small. Finally, Star Wars stars Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill prove they had their own difficulty with lines once in awhile—and took it all in good-natured stride.

Remember when Luke beseeches Vader to search his feelings and turn his back on the Dark Side? You might be able to recite his speech better than Hamill, who gets tongue-tied in one Return of the Jedi blooper. There's also a goofy little clip of Boba Fett firing his blaster at an Ewok (and missing), as well as a look at the type of airborne embarrassment that awaits any actor being hoisted by a wire—even if he's playing the fearsome Emperor. That was far from the only prop malfunction on the set, too.

There's also footage of a botched explosion during the escape from Jabba the Hutt's palace, as well as some jammed speeders during an Endor chase sequence. Poor Billy Dee Williams might be responsible for the best of the bunch, though, when one of his lines gets the best of him while he's piloting the Millennium Falcon.

Many Star Wars fans joke about the stilted chemistry between Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman in the prequels, but they had a good time between takes—just look at the giggling that erupts after Christensen forgets his stage direction in this blooper reel. There's also a funny sight gag stemming from a shoddily built spaceship, a little bit of Jango Fett dancing with an umbrella, and Portman taking a spill from a mechanical "alien." The coordination problems continued during Attack of the Clones, too—only here, Christensen takes as many tumbles as R2-D2.
