Darth 3PO
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.
3PO's Moment
Some fans are just thrilled by the notion that C-3PO could *finally* play a more active role than quippy, comedic relief guy.
Ghosts In The Shell
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 High Life
The "C-3PO smokes weed" jokes are now going in full force.
Never Change!
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.
Total Recall
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.
Instant Kill Mode
Is Star Wars taking a page out of Marvel's playbook by giving C-3PO a Spider-Man-style "Instant Kill Mode?"
NEED INPUT
If Johnny 5 from the Short Circuit movies has taught us anything... You need to regularly update your droids' inputs!
Worst. Idea. Ever.
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?
This Is US
There is so much truth in this tweet that it hurts (see: most of the other tweets in this list).
Mystery Solved
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.
