[edit] Creation

Did Anakin know six million forms of communication when he was a little boy? Surely Anakin didn't CREATE him, but restored him from various parts. This is what it says in the Revenge of the Sith novelisation.

Episode I:

C-3PO: R2-D2, a pleasure to meet you. I am C-3PO, human cyborg relations. I beg your pardon, what do you mean "naked"? My parts are showing!? Oh, my goodness!

C-3PO: You know I find that Jar Jar creature is very odd.

C-3PO: He has to complete 2 more curcuits? Oh, dear.

Episode III:

C-3PO: I feel so helpless.

Episode IV:

C-3PO: You hear that, R2? They shut down the main reactor. We'll be destroyed for sure. This is madness.

C-3PO: We're doomed.

C-3PO: There'll be no escape for the Princess this time.

C-3PO: R2-D2, where are you?

Sir, are you drunk? >_>

[edit] Masters

The text says "the only masters seen in the original six films were: Anakin Skywalker, Cliegg Lars, Raymus Antilles, Owen Lars and finally Luke Skywalker"

Would Shmi not count as a master, after Ani left him with her? And what about Jabba the Hutt, who Theepio served in RotJ?

Where does the fact that he had 40 masters come from?

--JimmyTheWig 15:08, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Your right, that should be changed, though I'm a wee bit tech ignorant, and so I don't know how to make links which prevents me from adding that. ^#^

And the forty masters comes from the cartoons called 'Droids', as the entry reads.

[edit] Sexuality

C3-PO's sexuality has been on the mind of everyone for years. But on the 3rd of December 2006, tabloid newspaper The Sun caught Threepio in bed with Jabba the Hutt and R2-D2 contributing to a sexual orgy. Threepio has denied the claims, calling them ridiculous and a breach of his own privacy.

-Nex Terren

What about Princess Leia? At the Beginning of "A New Hope" Both R2 and C-3PO are found in her company, when she gives them the order to find Ben "Obi-Won" Kenobi. Please Clarify.

Artoo and Threepio were owned by Captain Antilles at that point (the guy who had just gotten throttled by Vader). Threepio states as much to Luke after the Jawas sold them to the Larses. The Antilleses were close friends of the Organas, but Leia did not own the droids at the time. Powers 18:40, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Is the Oh really an Oh?

Of course, the robot's name is pronounced "C3PO" but I always wondered whether the "O" is not actually a zero. The pronounciation would be the same but in contrast to "C3PO" the spelling "C3P0" would match the pattern of "R2D2": letter-digit-letter-digit. Probably I am wrong. Maybe there is a good argument for the letter "O". Does anyone know?

 agentM 12:32, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

I support the number Zero theory. after taking into account all the other Droid call numbers or "names" the pattern is that of two random letters and two digits.

It's the letter O. The naming scheme for different kinds of droids is different; witness 4-LOM (another (former) protocol droid), EV-9D9, and IG-88. Powers 18:40, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Who gave C3P0 his gold coverings?

In the text it says that Padmé Amidala gave C-3P0 his gold coverings. In the Star Wars novel "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones" (ISBN 0-7126-8407-7) it says: "When Anakin had left with the Jedi, 3P0 had been perfectly functional, but uncovered, ...... Just before marrying Cliegg had Shmi finished the droid herself, adding the dull metal coverings." on page 11, chapter 1.

Yes, in Episode II, Threepio had dull (gray) metal coverings. During the Clone Wars animated series, Anakin arrives on Coruscant to discover that Padme had had him replated in shiny gold to better suit his status as a Senatorial aide. My question is is where did he get the silver leg he's seen with in the original trilogy? =) Powers 18:40, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gay?

Who here thinks c-3po is gay, there was this guy on wookieepedia who kept vandalizing the article making it say he was gay, and that really got me thinking, i think that guy was banned for doing so —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Swainstonation (talk • contribs) .

Um, he's a droid. I don't think they can be gay or straight. Powers 23:13, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

i no but he acts very gay

I'm going to delete "C-3PO and R2-D2 were called "gay robots" on an episode of The Simpsons." Because, uhmm, how is that a Trivia? By the way, I don't think he acts gay. And I'm sure if he was human he would be straight. -Anthro

• if he as human he would live in the castro district of frisco , tahts how gay he would be--Andy 22:19, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] C-3PO and R2-D2 are the only characters to survive all six movies-WRONG

What about Chewbacca? He survived. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 172.135.243.10 (talk • contribs).

Where was Chewbacca in TPM? --maru (talk) contribs 04:26, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

It said survive the movies, not in the movies. I think its safe to say Chewbacca was alive in TPM, unless Wookies reach adulthood in 13 years.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 172.161.191.186 (talk • contribs) .

In that case, you have to count Garm Bel Iblis, Mon Mothma, Gilad Pellaeon, Jan Dodonna, and HK-47, too. Under that metric, they all "survived the movies". =) Arguably Luke and Leia, too, although they didn't exist before Episode III. Powers 17:56, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I'd been wondering about Captain Panaka - at least he was in TPM. --JimmyTheWig 15:32, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, really, my point was that the metric under discussion really means "only characters to appear in and survive all six movies". Powers 17:48, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, does Anakin Vader survive?? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.64.17.137 (talk • contribs).

No, he dies at the end of Episode VI. Sorry if that's a spoiler for you. =) Powers ^T 14:57, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Star Wars film boxes

Seven boxes at the bottom of this page? You've got to be kidding. There's no need for that. Make one template that lists the recurring main characters and use that, not one for each of the movies. Powers ^T 00:49, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
