Kenny demanded to see Star Wars again today (I've created a four year year old monster).

Today as we watched, I noticed something that I've never seen in my dozen (or twenty) other viewings. At around the 1:20 mark, a tall stormtrooper smacks his head as he enters the room on the Death Star where R2D2 and C3PO are hiding.

Here's the sequence. Note the fellow on our right.

The problem is not people being uneducated. The problem is that people are educated just enough to believe what they have been taught, and not educated enough to question anything from what they have been taught.
