Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker It was not the clear success that nobody wanted it to be. But even as fans continue to argue about everything Star WarsThey remain as passionate as ever about the original George Lucas trilogy. A fan even posted a fun theory about an unexplained line early in the first movie.
George Lucas created an innovative film show
Regardless of how divisive some of the Star Wars saga has been, Lucas’s legacy is indeed safe. Even with the limitations of the time, the filmmaker created something that has inspired generations of fans. To execute his vision, Lucas and his team needed to develop new ways to bring the story to life.
Somehow, Lucas was simply applying character archetypes and classic storytelling techniques to a new medium. But in the process, it shaped everything that followed Star Wars to the big screen.

Fans Suggest Lucas Had Another Reason For A Key ‘Star Wars’ Scene
The effects on the original Star Wars The trilogy continues even decades later. But since Lucas is known for being a perfectionist, a fan turned to Reddit to post a theory about an apparently disposable line uttered by none other than Anthony Daniels’ C-3PO.
In the first moments of Star Wars: a new hope, Darth Vader (David Prowse) and his forces attack and invade Leia’s (Carrie Fisher) ship. And C-3PO and R2-D2 narrowly escape the clutches of the Empire by jumping into an escape pod. Once they have reached a safe distance, C-3PO says, “That is funny. Damage doesn’t look too bad from here.
This line is at the center of fan theory. The Redditor suggests that Lucas added this dialogue to cover the imperfect special effects. Leia’s ship, in her eyes, should probably have been more visibly damaged. So making C-3PO notice so much softness about this apparent plot hole for the public.
