c3po

why this article says that anakin build threepio? anakin didn´t build threepio anakin rebuild him,threepio being activated years before episode 1 is still canon because in the clone wars 3po said he once served as a protocol droid to the emissary of the manakron system.

why this article says that c-3po was built by anakin? anakin didn´t built c3po he rebuilt him in the clone wars c-3po said he served the ambassador of the manakron system and the clone wars is part of the new canon --95.94.13.180 22:15, October 14, 2015 (UTC)

Appearances?

Shouldn't the Appearances section include Episodes 3 - 7? Wikispherion (talk) 22:00, January 3, 2016 (UTC)

  • They're all there. Appearances are organized IU-chronologically, so they're not subsequent. 1358 (Talk) 22:03, January 3, 2016 (UTC)
  • Right! And actually, I missed the scrollbar. Woops! Thanks. Wikispherion (talk) 22:07, January 3, 2016 (UTC)

It looks like 3PO has a normal gold arm again at the end of The Force Awakens.... http://i.imgur.com/adakE2d.jpg

Memory

It was said in the "Early incarnation" section that "he [3PO] later claimed that his first job was programing binary loadlifters, which he said were very similar to moisture vaporators in most respects."

Considering that 3PO said this to Owen Lars in A New Hope, and that he had his memory wiped at the end of Revenge of the Sith, wouldn't it be more accurate to say that the loadlifter job was more likely just the earliest job he remembers since Bail Organa had his memory erased? --NotCrazyCarson (talk) 23:42, March 6, 2016 (UTC)

  • That's a fair assumption, actually. However, since C-3PO was the property of the Royal House of Alderaan after his memory wipe, it seems doubtful he was assigned to binary loadlifters in that context. I don't quite know which way to go. --LelalMekha (talk) 10:54, March 7, 2016 (UTC)

Bloodline

I know C3PO only has a minor role in Bloodline but surprised that there is nothing here about him at all. Is that deliberate? --86.173.179.183 19:30, July 24, 2016 (UTC)

  • Probably because nobody has gotten around to it yet! Wookieepedia is editable by anyone, so feel free to contribute! Cheers, 1358 (Talk) 19:32, July 24, 2016 (UTC)

Non-Canon Appearances

Would his appearance on episode 417 [1] of The Muppet Show (as himself; played by Anthony Daniels) count as a non-canon appearance, and if so, should it be listed under that section? And would the same apply to the articles for Luke, Chewbacca, and R2-D2, since those characters also appeared on that episode as themselves?

  • It can't go in the Non-canon appearances section since it is not a piece of licensed Star Wars media. However, it is definitely worthy of the "Behind the scenes" sections. -- Dr. Porter Resistance starbird (Talk|Contribs) 22:15, June 7, 2017 (UTC)

Binary Load Lifters

Shouldn't the mention of C-3PO programming binary load lifters come after ROTS? His mind was wiped following that movie, so, when he says that that was his first job, it stands to reason that he means it was his first job following the mind wipe. Of course, 3PO doesn't even know that his mind was wiped (presumably), so he's simply going off that knowledge. Keeper of the Timeline (talk) 13:55, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Missing Reference?

What's supposed to come at the end of the last sentence in the paragraph under the R2-D2's solo mission section? --Rocket Retro Reed (talk) 15:10, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

R2D2 and C-3PO ON Tantive IV

How did R2-D2 and C-3PO end up on the Tantive IV between Episodes III and IV? The way Rogue One has it, that Admiral had already left for Scarrif and presumably, Princess Leia Organa's ship was already tucked inside his ship since we see them leaving in a hurry with the Death Star plans. 50.107.144.172 10:06, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

  • As far as I'm aware all the film says it that Raddus had returned to his ship and was going to fight, so it's entirely possible that the Tantive IV just docked on board before he left Lewisr (talk) 17:25, 6 June 2025 (UTC)
