Star Wars Vintage C3PO

Sandcrawlers are the huge transports / homes used by desert-dwelling Jawas. Powered by steam, these Star Wars Sandcrawlers are a memorable piece of the Star Wars movie franchise and are another vintage toy item we like to feature on this blog. If there are any Star Wars vintage figures you remember and would like us to feature on this blog, be sure to get in touch with us!

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.
