Star Wars: 10 Obscure Movie Secrets That Took Years To Discover

Sometimes a seemingly throw away line of dialogue can allude to something far more significant.

Way back in 1980 when The Empire Strikes Back first hit screens, everyone's favourite droid to abuse, C-3PO, made a remark about Han Solo's ship. As we all know, C-3PO is fluent in over 6-million forms of communication, however, he was taken aback when trying to communicate with the onboard computer that runs through the Millennium Falcon.

The line "Sir, I don't know where your ship learned to communicate, but it has the most peculiar dialect" has usually been interpreted by fans to mean that Solo's ship has had so many modifications, that even the onboard computer has a bizarre nature to it.

However, roughly 40-years after that line was first heard, it was given an explanation. During Solo: A Star Wars Story, the feisty proponent of droids rights, L3-37, was damaged, and her mind was uploaded into the Falcon as a way to preserve it.

3PO's bemusement in Empire makes more sense knowing that he was communicating with Lando Calrissian's sassy robot.
