STAR WARS Fans Spot Hilarious ATTACK OF THE CLONES Detail That Took 22 Years To Pay Off
Star Wars fans never miss a thing, and sometimes the smallest details end up being the funniest. Recently, fans rewatching Star Wars: Attack of the Clones noticed something in the background of a scene on Tatooine that makes one moment in A New Hope way more amusing.
On Reddit, a fan pointed out, "In Star Wars Attack of the Clones, Owen’s wife asks him to paint the [ceiling]. 22 years later it’s still unpainted," while sharing screenshots of Owen and Beru’s house.
The first image shows Anakin, Padmé, and company sitting at a table under an unfinished ceiling. The second shot, from A New Hope, has Luke Skywalker at the very same table, and sure enough, the ceiling is still unpainted.
That little oversight sparked some hilarious responses. One fan joked, "He said he'll get to it!" Another chimed in with, "When a man says he'll do something, he'll do it. You don't have to remind him every 22 years."
Others got a kick out of just how relatable the whole thing felt. "Normally I hate these kind of detail comparisons but this is actually great lol," one user wrote. Another added, "The most realistic marriage ever shown on screen," while someone else declared it, "Most true-to-life thing ever seen in any of the Star Wars movies."
It’s always cool when production design details like this get noticed years later, especially when they accidentally become the perfect inside joke for fans.
While we’re laughing at Uncle Owen’s endless DIY procrastination, the galaxy far, far away is gearing up for its next big adventure with The Mandalorian and Grogu. The first trailer just dropped this week, giving us a look at what’s in store, and it looks awesome!
In the meantime, keep this little ceiling detail in mind on your next rewatch, it’s the kind of gag that makes revisiting Star Wars even more fun.
