Line 73:
* [[Den of Iniquity]]: Mos Eisley again.
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: In the special edition, some of the lines Han says to Jabba are the same as he said to Greedo. The reason for this is that when the Jabba scene was originally cut, a few of the lines (particularly "Even I get boarded sometimes! You think I had a choice?") were added to the Greedo one. However, by the time the special edition came around, Harrison Ford was too old to record different lines while he was reaching for the blaster.
* [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]]: Princess Leia, but the trope is massively subverted for the genre George Lucas was drawing from. True, Leia doesn't try to escape herself, but that's because she's completely outnumbered and then imprisoned in a moon-sized battlestation. When an opportunity does arise, she seizes it with both hands and [[Action Girl|takes charge of matters]] once it's obvious her so-called rescuers don't have a clue what they're doing.

* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: The ending scene for ''A New Hope''. This is a bit more like [[Putting on the Reich]]. [http://www.cracked.com/article_19826_6-iconic-scenes-ripped-off-from-lesser-known-movies.html And don't even get us started on] ''[[Triumph of the Will]]''!
