I'm probably one of the biggest Star Wars nerds out there, and recently I've been reading shit about the "Mandela effect" and how history has been changed or whatever. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, so naturally I was pretty skeptical. When people brought Star Wars into it, it made me wonder.
Did C3PO always have a silver leg? I remember noticing that as a kid, and I feel like people assume that it was always gold because it reflects the other gold leg, along with the sand on Tatooine.
Also, people were arguing that Vader originally said "Luke, I am your father." but that's fucking stupid and wouldn't make any sense in the context of the conversation. Vader was responding to the claim that he killed Luke's father. Luke said "He told me you killed him." to which Vader always replied "No, I am your father."
The movie Tommy Boy famously misquoted that, so maybe that is part of the reason.
What baffles me is Chic(k)-Fil-A.
Nicholas Reyes
It's 100% "No, I am your father."
Oliver Ward
this silver leg thing is fucking me up
Jayden Sullivan
What the fuck... sometimes he has a golden leg. other times he doesn't...
EXPLAIN THIS SHIT
Evan Anderson
Yeah I seem to remember it being spelled Chick too, but here's why I don't believe this bullshit theory. It all boils down to one word. Why?
What is the end goal? What is the point of changing C3PO's leg to silver, or removing the K from chick, or any of the other dumb things that people claim? They're so trivial. What's the point?
Tyler Gonzalez
No silver leg
James Edwards
I have a very old VHS tape, before the special edition changes were made, and it's silver. I believe the tape is from the late 80's or very early 90's.
Dylan Hughes
silver leg
Zachary Nguyen
Anthony Daniels has confirmed that it was always silver.
Robert Carter
Well JJ sure goofed up by not giving him a silver leg in TFA
Eli White
The whole costume has been re-designed. It isn't as shiny either.
Daniel Lee
All I can remember is C3PO having a red arm is a homage to the silver leg.
Camden Evans
I thought it changed to silver after he got blasted apart in cloud city.
Hunter Cox
Somebody help me out with this. There is an awful deleted scene from Revenge Of The Sith that involves Anakin and Obi-Wan being chased by droids and wading through some rising water during the Palpatine rescue scene, and I could have sworn that I saw that scene in theaters. I know it's on the DVD, but I feel like it played in theaters.
Brody Bailey
>it made me wonder. Did it really make you think though?
Noah Roberts
Vaguely remember that, but maybe because I watched thr DVD so many times lol
Matthew Davis
He's always had a silver leg, it's exactly what you said OP, we remember it as gold as a society because it became grimy, plus it's just as shiny as the rest of his body, so we don't really notice. It's something inconsequential, plus marketing materiel often didn't bother to paint it silver.
But on a similar note, I swear I remember a scene in Jackson's King Kong where they're in a swamp and they're attack by a giant fish monster. Did anyone else remember it when they saw it at the cinema?
>dat video I don't even care, I love the aesthetic of the prequels.
Hunter Allen
That's it. Did that scene play in theaters or just on the special features DVD? I remember that in theaters, but I could be wrong.
Easton Jones
You probably saw the deleted scene on dvd but remembered it as one of the original scenes you watched in the cinema. The same thing might have happened to me when it came to the King Kong fish scene, but I could have sworn I saw it in the cinema because I remembered I left the theater to pee just as the fish monster attacked.
Kevin Cooper

Benjamin Morgan
or it's possible that he unknowingly saw an extended version of the film and subconsciously interpreted the deleted scenes as part of the theatrical release
Ryan Campbell
reminds me of this Phantom Menace deleted scene that I thought I saw in the cinemas or on an early VHS release youtube.com/watch?v=bxdpNpIAYZg
Brody Lopez
Anthony Daniels broke the first leg because the costume was stiff, iirc. I think there's even video of this.
Grayson Myers
He has always had a silver leg. It is more noticeable in some scenes, more than others.
This is terrible. But I actually quite like the dumb little code signals they give each other.
Anthony Martin
>But I actually quite like the dumb little code signals they give each other. this
Jaxon Morgan
CAROLINE!
Adam Williams
People swore they saw this scene in the cinemas even though it never made the final cut of RotJ. HOWEVER, it was in the novelization.
Xavier Gutierrez
I don't remember a single use of the word "sith" prior to the prequels. That's what I remember. The sith were simply EU and then brought into canon with the prequels.
Kind of annoyed me with the boring duality of it all.
He did yes, but that's the thing, you're probably from the universe where he didn't have a silver leg. So regardless of my knowing for a fact he had a silver leg, it doesn't prove anything.
Ayden Williams
Star Wars was always extremely black and white though.
Levi Powell
The word "sith" was first used in the novelization of Star Wars in 1976, as a title for Darth Vader, the "Dark Lord of the Sith".
Ayden Powell
Heres something I know I watched.
When I first watched Taken in it's pirated form, prior to the cinema release. The Movie ends almost 30 seconds after he gets his daughter back. Liam Neeson and daughter embrace, and the camera tracks away from them for about thirty seconds. youtube.com/watch?v=q6Q0eHxeeIU this plays and the piano plays out. Fade to black when the guitar kicks in.
I honestly thought it was a much much better ending than the DVD copy.
Ayden James
It's always been silver. I used to collect the toys as a kid and remember how I had never noticed before.
Michael Morgan
they start with little things to see if people notice
David Anderson
>i misremember something from when i was a child >no way i'm just an idiot, this must be proof of parallel/alternate universes leaking into eachother, manifesting themselves only in small trivial details in movies and brand names
do you realize how fucking stupid you sound
Benjamin Cook
u mad
Austin Nguyen
Its silver on both pictures.
You are evidently color blind.
Caleb Carter
wait, has his arm always been red?
Brayden Campbell
Yes.
Liam Price
Maybe whatever shit rig this version of the Matrix is running on is chewing up too much ram so whoever is running it keeps turning down the render effects.
