Return of Jedi DVD continuity query...

mark rogers
As jabba the hut is flying the heroes out into the desert to get devoured
by that sand-pit monster, there's a scene where captive princess leia is
yanked by her chain back to jabba, and he says "soon you will learn to
appreciate me" or somesuch. When she's viewed from behind facing Jabba,
there is a big black mark on her backside, just above her left butt-cheek.

But minutes later, just before she jumps into skywalker's arms and they
rope-swing across the pit to the getaway vehicle, the same big black mark is
now above her *right* butt-cheek.

Query: How did Lucas/Marquand manage a continuity problem with a black
mark..?

Note: this appears in the SE DVD.

Because Lucas/Marquand would never notice a girls butt.

Thanks goodness for that - the last thing we need is the Star Trek
Beavis & Butthead approach to sci-fi in Star Wars. Leia's gold bikini
and the Twilek dancers are more than enough of that kind of rubbish
designed to simply draw in the male audience. Hopefully the Star Wars
TV show won't be attempting the old 'bimbo in a catsuit' approach
either.

Yeah, they should just stick to fart jokes to keep the adolescent fanboys
happy. God help Lucus if he had to solely rely on solid story telling and
direction.

"solid storytelling and direction" - two more things that Beavis &
Butthead can't do. In fact there's only one thing Star Trek's B&B twins
can do, and that's flush a successful franchise down the toilet.

Like that has anything to do with the topic or the fact that Berman and
Braga are the two of the most hopeless morons on the planet.  :-\

I'd rather see him give the geeks material for spanking the ewok than
continue his trend of creating fantastic creatures with overt racist
stereotypes.

Any characters in Star Wars are only "racist" to you because that
"stereotype" is in your own mind.

Thanks for undermining the very real problem of racial stereotyping by
mislabeling anything in the Star Wars movie with it.

Orignally, the black mark was supposed to be on the right cheek, however
he wasn't able to put it there due to the technology limits of the time. 
In about ten years, we'll have enough computing power to replace the
earlier scene as well. 

C'mon... someone had to say it.

No, by then the original negatives will have deteriorated beyond repair,
just like Carrie Fisher's ass has.

You must first understand the origin and purpose of the butt mark before
your question can be answered.
