Also in this episode: the three “goofs” (screw ups) that were in the “Captain EO” attraction movie:

  1. The smoke stacks behind the queen have smoke coming out both the top and the side (normally smoke stacks just vent out the top)
  2. When the Captain is confronting the Evil Queen, he takes a few steps up the stairway for emphasis, accidentally revealing the puppeteer controlling the Fuzzball character sitting on his shoulder
  3. As Captain EO rises up through the floor in his initial entrance a roll of Gaffer tape is seen by his feet, accidentally left by a crew member.
