Why Does C-3PO Have Red Eyes in New Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Trailer?
The new Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker footage shown at D23 Expo is now online, and is as epic [...]
Darth 3PO
What if C-3PO was the Phantom Menace this entire time

C-3PO goes from having a red arm in TFA to now red eyes in TROS
All these years you thought Jar Jar was the sith?

Hard to say whether a droid can truly turn to the dark side (or even use the Force), but that hasn't stopped fans from having some fun with the idea that it was C-3PO who was the master Sith Lord, all along.
prevnext3PO's Moment
I don’t even really like Star Wars much, but if C-3PO (Or however his name is meant to be stylized) actually does something important to the story, I’ll lose my shit.

Some fans are just thrilled by the notion that C-3PO could *finally* play a more active role than quippy, comedic relief guy.

Palpatine’s consciousness takes over 3PO, takes over galaxy.

Wait, Snoke, still alive, hacks C3PO.
— Russell Michaels (@TGBED8v8) August 26, 2019
With all the rumors that Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will feature a plot about Force ghosts possessing the living, this would be a massive twist. But then again, things were always headed that way (see: Vader, Grievous, etc.).

The "C-3PO smokes weed" jokes are now going in full force.

Me seeing c3po with red eyes: MY BABY BOY NOOOOO DONT BE POSSESSED/REPROGRAMMED!!!!
— Casper The Friendly Ghost Stan (@RatsLovePasta) August 26, 2019
Some Star Wars fans are already having panic attacks over the notion that C-3PO - one of the most steadfast characters in the entire Skywalker Saga - is going to get some kind of big change in Rise of Skywalker. Whatever the reason is, they aren't going to be satisfied with it.
prevnextTotal Recall
Maybe c3po remembered everything from the prequels (Anakin creating him, etc)
— ayy lmao (@LukaANDkrosty) August 26, 2019
Yeah, maybe C-3PO finally had all those repressed memories come back. Given his role in the lives of the Skywalker family, it would understandably be a total mind-screw.

Omg. Glowing red eyes. Do you know what that means?

Is Star Wars taking a page out of Marvel's playbook by giving C-3PO a Spider-Man-style "Instant Kill Mode?"

If Johnny 5 from the Short Circuit movies has taught us anything... You need to regularly update your droids' inputs!
prevnextWorst. Idea. Ever.
honest to God evil c3po might be the worst star wars cringe ever, and for a franchise that includes jar jar binks and Rian Johnson that's a lot
— Bloody Yang (@SteauaMineral2) August 26, 2019
Some fans are already jumping to the conclusion that J.J. Abrams has crapped the bed even worse than Rian Johnson did. That seems a bit premature though, no?

There is so much truth in this tweet that it hurts (see: most of the other tweets in this list).

Maybe we can finally close the door on the biggest mystery from this Star Wars Sequel Trilogy? Maybe?
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will be in theaters on December 20th.
