Hello. I am C-3PO, human-cyborg relations.
— C-3PO introducing himself.
C-3PO is a protocpol droid from the Star Wars franchise, built by Anakin Skywalker. Aside from R2-D2, he is the only character to have appeared in all six of the Star Wars films. His voice is provided by Anthony Daniels.
Film Appearances[]
The Phantom Menace[]
C-3PO was built on the desert planet of Tatooine by the young Anakin Skywalker who was a slave too Watto before Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn freed him and took him back to Coruscant to be trained as a Jedi.
He was shown to Padmé Amidala and R2-D2 where he was at the time "Naked" (referred by R2-D2) he had no coverings and his inner mechanisms were showing. He helped Anakin build the pod racer which he would enter and win for Qui-Gon so they can gain parts to repair his ship. After Anakin told him he was now free, he was at the same to delighted for him but also disappointed because he would no longer finish working on him or give him coverings. before leavin, Anakin promised to make sure his mother wouldn't sell him which left him worried.
Attack of the Clones[]
Threepio would not see Anakin again until ten years later where he had been given coverings and now lived on the Lars Farm with Shmi Skywalker who married Cliegg Lars.
When a message from Obi-Wan Kenobi informed he was in trouble, C-3PO accompanied Anakin, Padme and Artoo on a rescue mission to Geonosis. despite being told to stay with the ship, Artoo went out to follow them despite Threepio trying to stop him. The two droids found their ways to the Droid factory where he lost his head and had it placed on the body of a B-1 Battle Droid while his body was given a Battle Droid head.
He engaged the Jedi in the Geonosis execution arena but was knocked down and trapped under another Battle Droid. R2-D2 showed up to retrieve his head and place it back onto his body. After the battle of Geonosis and the beginning of the Clone Wars, Threepio and Artoo were the only two to witness Anakin and Padme's marriage.
Revenge of the Sith[]
By the time of the end of the Clone Wars, Threepio was fitted with gold plated coverings and became Padmé's personal protocol droid.
C-3P0 became witness to his maker's turn to the dark side of the Force when he accompanied Padmé to Mustafar, and Anakin, now the Sith Lord Darth Vader, used the Force to choke her into unconsciousness; whereupon C-3PO and R2-D2 took her to safety. When Obi-Wan returned to their spaceship, Threepio flew them to Polis Massa and witnessed the birth to the Skywalker twins, Luke and Leia, as well as Padmé's death. Shortly thereafter, C-3PO and R2-D2 were placed in the custody of Bail Organa, who gave the order to have C-3PO's memory erased to protect the twins from their father.
