C-3PO All Gold

Many people remember C-3PO as being completely gold. In reality, the character has a silver lower right leg through much of the original Star Wars trilogy. The silver piece is often missed because of lighting, camera angles, and the strong overall gold appearance, making it a classic visual Mandela Effect.
