My favorite fan theory for star wars? R2D2 took the shot. He faked getting hurt by the laser bolts because luke was a dumbass farmboy, but letting him take the credit was less troublesome than explaining how he knew how to blow up a death star. (or that he’s always going around saving the galaxy because leaders like to use dumbass kids to fight their wars. yeah. he took the shot over naboo too.)
