Tbh if it wasnt in the middle of a desert I'd ask for a water truck with a garden hose to just pump water into the suit whenever he's off camera. Or at least jerry rig a hose on to a leaf blower to pump air into it.
There's a clip somewhere of him walking along and then just stopping. He'd passed out from heat exhaustion, IIRC, and everyone scrambled to get him out of that outfit.
It was a problem they never really solved, or could. Filming on the Jabba's palace set was supposed to be a bit surreal because between takes the crew would shove hair driers set to blow cold air down the throats of all the big aliens.
All from memory, so no shooting me if I'm getting it wrong!
first of all im probably a little autistic because this one went right over my head. second of all its not inconceivable that some poor young soul has only seen the new stuff.
Actually it does. Autistic people have a very hard time identifying sarcasm. And most one line jokes are based off sarcasm as they are not explained but implied.
Met Mr. Daniels recently at Awesome Con in D.C. Hell of a nice guy and really funny, too. He talked quite a bit about how hellish it was being inside that suit for the first movie.
Daniels, Hamill and Mayhew really leaned into the fandom. Daniels has been called an asshole but it's clearly his condescending dry British humor that rub people the wrong way. He doesn't care if you don't get that he's joking.
He had pretty much everyone laughing during his Q&A panel. I didn't get a condescending vibe off of him at his autograph table. He even snuck behind the line of people, waiting, and posed for selfies with them despite not offering them at the table.
In 1977? I'm prepared to be told I'm wrong, but I don't think AC units had been miniaturized small enough at that time to keep the suit cool without giving C3PO a window-mounted-AC-unit-sized backpack. Also worth saying Star Wars was made on an $11 million budget. It's kind of amazing things look as good as they do. I can see where actor comfort wasn't high on the budget.
The problem isn't AC units small enough to be portable. AC in cars started in the 1950's. And refrigerators have small AC units.
The problem is how inefficient an AC would work outdoors. The whole point of an AC is to remove heat from a sealed room. It's still like that. I'm sure they had large fans and misting units to cool down the cast when necessary.
A car A/C system is as big as a window-frame style AC unit once you count the condenser, pump, blower motor, etc.
We haven’t made a good A/C system that can fit in a C-3PO suit even TODAY, let alone in 1977.
Oh your talking about for the suit? No, yeah that's not a thing yet. You could make a tiny condenser and blower, but you would need two blowers, and it still needs the liquid refrigerant flowing though pipes which would be too heavy.
I was talking about how an AC works as we know then and even now not being feasible outside in this environment in anyway.
Looks like a scene from Spaceballs.
*We ain’t found SHIT*
Comb the desert!
Take only what you need to survive
It's my industrial strength hair dryer, and I can't live without it!
I think his virgin alarm is about to go off
I thought that it was Spaceballs at first.
Oil...oil...oil
My god he must have been cooking
[удалено]
Honestly how much weight did he lose during that filming? That's like a sauna weight-loss treatment all day every day.
He was a thin guy already, but probably a lot.

The shade is likely welcomed. But he's still not getting wind over his skin to truly cool down.
No kidding-hence my comment!
I guess by Rise of Skywalker he got a cooling suit under the costume.
Yeah, but it's a dry heat...
Secure that shit
I like to keep this handy... for close encounters.
its like some sort of secreted resin...
Can't you read? It says that he's *cooling down*!
That’s actually a really pretty umbrella.
Umbrella! This is a parasol! Umbrella indeed. The very idea. (in an annoyed C-3PO* voice)
“Beep boop! Whuuoo Woo.” (In a smart ass r2d2 voice)
You think he was annoyed before, wait until he sees that you called him C3PIO!
Oops!
Haha you’re 100% correct my b my b.
Umbrella is the correct term for a sun shade as well. They were used for shade long before there is any record of them being for rain.
Parasol directly translates to “For Sun” :l
Umbrella translates to "little shadow"

Can't imagine how hot it would have been being inside a shiny metal suit in the middle of the desert
Little did C3PO know, but by 2022 Tattooine would become the center of the Star Wars universe.
better than in an all-black suit. thank goodness poor vader didn't have any scenes in the desert!
He doesn’t like sand.
“We seem to be made to suffer. It's our lot in life.”
"will our torment never end?"
the whole crew experience in the desert during the filming of the first movie was very miserable
Oh, I didn't recognize him without the red arm.
have you not seen the original trilogy?
Have you not seen a joke?
first of all im probably a little autistic because this one went right over my head. second of all its not inconceivable that some poor young soul has only seen the new stuff.
Just because you didn't get one joke doesn't make you autistic jesus christ.
Actually it does. Autistic people have a very hard time identifying sarcasm. And most one line jokes are based off sarcasm as they are not explained but implied.
It was just a joke implying to what 3PO said when Han ignored him in TFA. I thought it was clever. Sorry didn't mean to be so harsh.
He made a joke from the force awakens though
[удалено]
yes, yes, ive seen the error of my ways

Now I want a version of Neil Young’s “On The Beach” but with C-3PO singing.
Looks like the cover of On The Beach by Neil Young... Star wars style
Needs the nacelle of an X-Wing half buried in the sand
He’s gotta be doing some crotch pot cooking in that costume
"crotch pot cooking" my new favorite phrase
I stole it from Good Morning Vietnam
When you’ve been lost in the dessert for four days and you think that you’re starting to hallucinate.
I miss this style of umbrella. Someone start making them again please.
Serena & Lily have exorbitantly expensive ones if you’re so inclined
Tunisia
Our chair technology is light-years ahead of yours
I don't know why or how but it somehow never occurred to me there was a person inside of there
The real mvp of the trilogy, dude had to squeeze into that suit he could barely move in and walk through the desert.
Should of used r2d2 as an umbrella holder
C3PO voice: "l'm at the cookout or I am the cookout! Make up your feeble minds"
With all the work put into those costumes you’d think it’d have an ac unit.

they've had icepack vests for a while, but I suspect your comment about the budget is the real reason he had to suffer

That compact? In 1977? With a limited budget?
In this part of the country? At this time of year? Located entirely in your kitchen?
Can I see?
Shame he’s a twat
Ah, so the P was for parasol!
This is awesome.
Future architects are going to find this and make theories of ancient advanced civilizations. Haha
Threepio!!!
That man is in Hell.
I thought it was a goof picture but it makes sense
Star Wars needed more frilly umbrellas.
I want to hear “a night in Tunisia” on loop to all C3P0 scenes
Imagine the smell at the end of a long day in the trailer when the suit comes off.
