I had no idea this existed. I’m sure the story about it being a mishap due to position and lighting is the most likely, but it’s funny anyway mutha fuckas!
I’ve seen that before. I think it was posted in the Star Wars thread on our other forums. I don’t see how position and lighting could have possibly caused that though. It’s not like it’s some strange shading, there’s obviously a rod sticking out, almost out to his arm.
I assumed position didn’t mean 3PO, but meant that the part in question had come loose or something, and is sticking out forward in 3D space, making it look like another part.
However, this does seem pretty unlikely given that SOMEONE would have surely seen this on set. The idea that it was a disgruntled employee just doesn’t sit well with me in this instance, as I feel like it would look more like a penis, and would be more hidden.
