He explained that 'he’d had some kind of drama before this, you know.

However, according to Daniels, within this mystery is a glimmer of humor. While his appearance in The Force Awakens, when he had a red arm, is explored in a comic book, his silver leg has since remained a mystery. While the behind-the-scenes origins offer some explanation for the overall confusion that Threepio's leg had created, sadly, the in-universe explanation is far less illuminating. Ironically, the reflective nature of the material was so good it even fooled the film's still photographer, John Jay. However, eagle-eyed fans may have noticed that while they were on the Tantive IV at the beginning of A New Hope, it was much easier to see his silver leg as it reflected the white of the walls much more easily. And also, in the desert, it reflected the gold of the sand.' As a result, his leg often appeared like a much dirtier shade of gold while on Luke Skywalker's home of Tatooine rather than the pristine shade of chromed silver that was actually present. Daniels explained that 'it was kind of subtle and the silver actually reflected the gold of the other leg.
