9 Hidden Facts You Didn't Know About Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace
8. Even Droids Have To Clean Their Vehicles
Keeping with the mechanical faces found wandering around the galaxy throughout this first prequel, the opening stages of Episode I - The Phantom Menace introduced the world to the aforementioned B1 Battle Droids.
Many of those skeleton-like bots were quickly dispatched by Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi on the Trade Federation ship early on, but the two Jedi quickly learned that many more were preparing to invade Naboo.
It's during that scene when Jinn and Kenobi decide to stow aboard the droids' ships and warn the Naboo about what's heading their way when one of the invading troops can just about be seen doing something very comical in the background.
You see, in the wide shot that shows off that droid army, one B1-series soldier is scrubbing an Armoured Assault Tank, performing the sort of soul-crushing task a parent would typically get their kid to do for their own car to earn some extra pocket money.
Making the hiding in plain sight sequence even funnier, it actually looks like another droid is supervising this last-minute spruce up, cracking the mechanical whip and demanding to see their expressionless face in that bumper.
You can't be invading a peaceful planet with a dirty tank now, can you?
