*Sorry if somebody else wrote this*
I think it just means our brain going along with everybody else. One year ago I was pretty sure I got this answer right but the teacher said I was wrong. One week later my teacher apologized and said she got it wrong. Everybody thought she was right becuase she has a lot of power in the class and I don't have any. Maybe a famous person said something like the examples and every one agreed. The Madela Effect might have two sides. 1. Listening to other people and going with the flow. 2. Our brain just thinks: eh, this sounds better.

Could surely be it aswell, it wouldn't surprise me  

Not sure why but this is kind scaring me

Lets do a memory test everyone.
Imagine in your mind what C-3PO from Star Wars looks like.
Now open the spoiler below to show what he looks like now.

It's just one of those things that people don't notice, I mean who pays attention to legs when watching a movie?

I re-watched the original trilogy just the other week and didn't notice it, it's pretty obvious that it's just people being unobservant.  

It's pure psychology. If you're reading a sentence and the word "the" is put twice, many people will just read over it and not notice it. Or if you are reading a sentence and you see the start of a word, you identify it as something and later find out that it was actually a different word. Our brains latch on to certain things and forget others.

Another important factor to look at is social media. It's so easy to spread a false spelling of "Looney Toons" to thousands of people in seconds. Heck, it's like the tabloids. Some people read them and they really believe that Barack Obama is pregnant. People just usually believe other people.

Yeah could be, I just found it odd, I actually grabbed my old lego starwars game from like 2007 I think and oddly c3po was fully gold throughout the entire game.
Although I could brush that off as saving resources/time as just giving a color ID to a model is a lot easier to do than seperate leg colors.

Yeah that's true most of these occurences can be simple mistakes of reading over it or simply your brain filling in parts of the puzzle because you don't fully remember said thing.

Never read comments on random facebook posts with controversial topics, saw a soflo video and almost everyone in the comments thought it was real, o god.

This video is a must watch if you're interested about the world most powerful computers called quantum computers.
These are said to have the ability to connect with alternate universes and can even make said universes overlap causing strange effects.
This video explains why a lot of people can't let go of the mandela effect and other similar theories.
Keep in mind the guy (Geordie Rose) explaining everything is the founder of the d-wave computer (aka quantum computer).  

I have many theories that would just make me sound crazy. Starting off with I'm God ;D

Being fully gold plated is his primary appearance.

The reason people think he has different appearances isn't because of the Mandela Effect but because his appearance does change throughout the films, novels, games, comics as part of the story.

The Phantom Menace he didn't have metal coverings, silver right leg in A New Hope, and red left arm in The Force Awakens, Attack of the Clones he had copper plating just a few examples of his appearance change from the movies alone.

The appearance difference people see in him is completely explainable.

Honestly I didn't even notice anything odd until you mentioned his leg. Thought Eugeen had just reached insanity and started posting Star Wars pictures.

Unless, OH MY GOD, THE PICTURE EUGEEN ORIGINALLY POSTED WAS FROM AN ALTERNATIVE DIMENSION!

My best guess is our brain just thinking that something sounds better.
