I'm talking about a fan theory, that if true doesn't drastically upend the fundamentals of the fiction it is set in.

Mine is that in the American Dad episode 'Can I Be Frank With You', that Snot's uncle is actually just another Roger persona. He appears suddenly and conveniently to pitch a bizarre scheme, he loves hanging around with teen boys and doing drugs, and the very instant that the plan has a setback he kills himself out of sight of everyone else. That's just Roger in a suit and glasses.

Edit: Ok, so, people are having trouble with the word "inconsequential".

In Empire, Han tells 3PO to "talk to the Falcon" and later 3P0 comments on the ship's "peculiar dialect." Obviously at the time those lines were written it was just a half joke half figure of speech, but you could argue in universe it implies Han knows the Falcon is conscious and 3P0 was referring to the fact that the Falcon was actually communicating with him, rather than just giving diagnostic data.

3P0: it uses a very peculiar dialect

Falcon: please… let me die…
