10 Huge Star Wars Moments That Happened In The Background

10. C-3PO Gagged - Star Wars: Episode VI - Return Of The Jedi

In Return of the Jedi, there's a very famous scene where a disguised Princess Leia revives Han Solo from carbonite and delivers the whole "Someone who loves you" line.

It's a nice bit of cinema, but there's just one thing wrong with it.

After the two romantic rebels reunite, the all-too-familiar laugh of Jabba the Hutt rings out. It turns out that he and his cronies have been watching the whole thing, including C-3PO.

Threepio had been given to Jabba as a gift by Luke Skywalker - all part of the Jedi's plan to infiltrate the crime lord's palace. However, could he not have warned Han and Leia that they were being spied on? That seems like something he would do.

Well, if you look closely at when Jabba and co. come out of hiding, you'll see why the protocol droid was silent.

One of the Hutt's posse is holding their hand over Threepio's mouth, stopping him from giving the game away.

This could mean that our gold-plated friend did try and warn his comrades, but was cut off before he could do so. Either way, it's nice to know that Threepio isn't that much of a coward.
