9 Hidden Facts You Didn't Know About Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace

9. See No Evil, Speak No Evil, Hear No Evil Pit Droids

Not only did Episode I - The Phantom Menace see the arrival of the iconic B1 Battle Droid, it also brought with it a ton of other interesting new droid faces - including the hapless DUM-series pit droids.

These silly little scamps could be seen helping out during the Boonta Eve Classic, with one of them even learning the hard way what happens when you walk in front of a gigantic pod racer intake. And it was after that awkward moment when the VFX team snuck in a rather fun little detail.

If you look closely at three of the record-setting droids who formed part of Ody Mandrell's pit team who were stood next to the devastated racer after his machine was broken by that foolish sucked up helper, you'll spot them doing something quite familiar.

One can be seen looking away and shaking their head. Another is covering where a person's mouth typically would be. And the last has their hands over where someone's ears would usually go. In other words, they seem to be doing the droid version of the famous Three Wise Monkey's proverb, "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil."

If they didn't see, hear, or speak about this pod-wrecking mess, maybe they could all just pretend it never happened.

If only.
