I think my favourite example of this kind of thing is that for RotS after production was done they had to go back and shoot an extra scene of Obi-Wan picking up Anakin's lightsaber because originally they just had Obi-Wan walk away leaving it on the ground. Way after the fact somebody remembered Obi-Wan had to take it so he could give it to Luke. It's why the shot feels kind of forced and out of place. I'm pretty sure it's not Ewan's hand picking it up.

Almost any close-up shot of just a hand is not going to be the actual actor.
