Gag Reel

Most movies now include a gag reel or bloopers on the DVD or online. There’s an entire reel of shots from the film that didn’t make the final cut but were hilarious due to the actors’ gaffes. Surprisingly, these are hard to come by for A New Hope. The following photo, on the other hand, looks like a still version of a blooper, with Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and Peter Mayhew finding something extremely amusing.

The Iconic Jump Scene

When you first see Luke courageously carrying Princess Leia from one side of a Death Star exit door to the other in A New Hope, it looks like they’re risking their lives over a bottomless pit, almost like Tarzan. Of course, for health and safety considerations, the “pit” was only a few feet deep in reality. This sequence is also amusing because Carrie Fisher’s kiss on Mark Hamil’s lips got the final cut!
