My mom was a nurse in the Army Air Corps during WWII, and she remembers flying over the Himalayas equipped with a rifle and a parachute, "neither of which," she'd add, "we knew how to use." Her army trunk never caught up with her and was finally returned to her after the war was over, with everything inside covered with mold.

Even worse is direct and undetectable commands hidden in audio:

"A group of students from University of California, Berkeley, and Georgetown University showed in 2016 that they could hide commands in white noise played over loudspeakers and through YouTube videos to get smart devices to turn on airplane mode or open a website.

This month, some of those Berkeley researchers published a research paper that went further, saying they could embed commands directly into recordings of music or spoken text."

Chewbacca's existence in the prequel (singular) was the only one that made sense. It explained why, later, he was talking with Obi-Wan in the bar before they even met Han. It explains why he didn't get a medal after they blew up the Death Star.
The existence of C-3PO is the one that doesn't make sense. That's quite a coincidence that Darth Vader is the person who built him (and on Tattooine; another coincidence!)
Cool thing is, in all of the original movies, C-3PO and Darth never saw each other.

I thought the 5-year old "Ring Bear" growling down the aisle was adorable. It wouldn't have been a failure in my book. I also liked the one where they forgot to book an organist for the wedding march, so everyone hummed it instead.
