We're fans of all things Star Wars around here, but you probably noticed that already. Poke around and you'll find a fair amount of information about our favorite Star Wars characters, plus new and vintage toys, and even accessories like a Star Wars belt or buckle.

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.
