5. C-3PO kept on falling apart

The Star Wars franchise started small, with a low budget and the first Star Wars movie, A New Hope was a challenge for Anthony Daniels who portrayed C-3PO. With a tight budget, the costume was poorly built and kept on falling apart every few minutes.

Imagine that. Filming an entire movie with a costume that dismembered every now and then. The shooting developes and concluded with a broken C-3PO costume.

At some point a part from the bottom dismembered and Daniels injured his leg, hence the sequences where he's wearing only the top half of C-3PO.

This costume has disappeared for 30 years. What happened to it all this time?
