Star Wars Vintage C3PO

On this blog, we discuss the finer points of Star Wars vintage history, like how Jango's Slave 1 is one of the most wicked ships of all time, but the Slave 2 is a pile of junk. :)  If this kind of thing interests you, please poke around and see what you find!

3PO is a protocol droid, designed to liaise among the thousands of different cultures around the galaxy. A protocol droid is fluent in many languages, spoken and unspoken, and assist their owners with things like etiquette, body language, translations, and inter-cultural relations.

Protocol droids often work closely with maintenance droids, as maintenance droids generally have limited communication skills, outside of machine-to-machine communications. C3PO is rarely seen without R2D2, his partner droid. C3PO was originally owned by Anakin Skywalker, left with Anakin, had his memory wiped, and returned years later, not even recognizing Tatooine.
