Huge STAR WARS: REVENGE OF THE SITH Blooper Spotted That Will Forever Change How You View The Movie

A new blooper in 2005's Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith has been spotted which, to be perfectly honest, will likely forever change how you view that epic duel between Obi-Wan and Anakin on Mustafar...

Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith remains arguably the best movie in George Lucas' prequel trilogy, not least thanks to that epic lightsaber battle pitting Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader against his former friend and master, Obi-Wan Kenobi. 

Unfortunately, you may never view that duel on Mustafar in the same way thanks to this newly discovered blooper. 

As you can see in the Reddit post below, a random crew member has been spotted in the background during Anakin and Obi-Wan's fiery clash. We've checked, and this is 100% legit, meaning this unidentified man now joins The Mandalorian's "Jeans Guy" after becoming famous for being somewhere he shouldn't! 

Another Redditor has since done some research, discovering how this inadvertent cameo likely came to be and explains, "It's a face...What appears to have happened here is that the camera travelled slightly too far and somehow no one noticed while cropping the footage."

While there's still no word on who this crew member is, many fans have already dubbed him "Mustafar Man," a fitting moniker. Now, we wait for the internet to do its thing and figure out who he is. 

Check out the full breakdown of this Revenge of the Sith blooper, along with a possible explanation, below.

Last year, prequel trilogy stunt coordinator Nick Gillard revealed that both Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen pushed back against George Lucas when he went down the "high ground" route for the final clash. As a result, an alternate version of the fight's closing moments was discussed which sounds considerably better. 

"There was a version - that whole volcano thing where they land on that droid wasn't there," he recalls. "Originally, they swung and landed - they swung off that great big boat and they landed on the side of the volcano, on the lava right next to each other."

"And straight away, Anakin just grabbed him by the...he disarmed him...[and] grabbed him by the throat. He’s got him and Obi’s saber is down on the ground, and Anakin says, ‘I’m sorry it has to be this way, my master,’ and actually lets [the lightsaber] go."

"Obi hunches to get away from it, sucks his saber up, as he pulls his saber up he cuts through Anakin’s arms, almost by mistake, and then chops through his legs almost by mistake, and the whole body fell off of his legs," Gillard concludes. "It was more of a defense-gone-wrong kind of move. It was strong."
