ROTJ Boba Fett filming mistake
« on: November 11, 2013, 04:01:05 PM »
I just noticed this last night while watching EP VI and haven't seen it mentioned before.  In the extra scenes of Jabba's palace Boba Fett's helmet is backwards.  The dent is on the right side and antennae is on the left.  This is on the Blu-Ray edition so not sure if its the same on the DVD special ed.

Looks like the film was processed backwards?  Thoughts?

Now that you mentioned it, I beleive it is reversed...even in the DVD! I'll have to watch it again.

The helmet is most definitely on backwards.

off of the top of my head, that's the wrong gauntlet for that arm too, so the scene was reversed for sure.

George did this a lot.   watch the vader/obiwan duel in epIV.   vader's chestbox is backwards in certain shots -- the negative has been reversed.


Obi Wan Kenobi vs Darth Vader episode 4
compare the chestbox and belt buckle @0:18 vs. @1:08

Yep...it's reversed.  I do this all the time in my own videos as it's a cheap way to get a different perspective off the same clip.
