C-3PO was originally activated on the Cybot Galactica foundry world of Affa[2] in 112 BBY. R2-D2 (called R2, or " Artoo " for short is a fictional character in the Star Wars universe, an Astromech droid His more well-known incarnation, however, was "born" on Tatooine around 32 BBY, when he was rebuilt by a young boy named Anakin Skywalker, who came upon the protocol droid's standard 3PO-series discarded and gutted head and chassis while in a Mos Espa street with friend Kitster Banai.

Later, Anakin decided to smuggle C-3PO home piece by piece. Kitster asked him what use the droid would have at home and Anakin told him that the droid would be used as a servant as a Cybot Galactica protocol droid. Anakin found that the droid's balance gyro was quite old dating back several decades. [3] Anakin made the droid functional with scrounged and improvised parts; while Threepio boasted a standard protocol droid verbobrain and communicator module, it is unknown whether these parts originated with his chassis, or if they were acquired independently by Anakin. Threepio's wiring and construction were sound, but Anakin could not afford even the simplest of droid coverings. [2]

C-3PO was given to Senator Amidala as a gift from her husband, Anakin Skywalker. A senate is a Deliberative body, often the Upper house or chamber of a Legislature or Parliament.

Early Imperial era (19 BBY–0 BBY)

What?! Go on adventures? Explore the galaxy? You must be short-circuiting again! We are droids, after all. Fans of the Star Wars Fictional universe keep track of the "dates" of key events within the storyline according to narrated time and chronology . . Nothing exciting ever happens to us!

—C-3PO to R2-D2, Star Wars Droids: The Kalarba Adventures

Though he and R2-D2 were officially part of the droid complement of the Tantive IV for the next 19 years, C-3PO also served Alderaan's royal house, the House of Organa, on Alderaan on occasion.

While accompanying them to the Emperor's Ball, he mistook his maker, now Darth Vader, for a new droid: he was reassigned as a preschool teacher for a year as punishment. [13]

He was also featured in the game: Star Wars: Jedi Knight:Jedi Academy. The droid duo's servitude of the Tantive IV was short lived, however. During a routine drill—supervised by Chief Petty Officer Corla Metonae—that involved the launching of the ship's escape pods, the Tantive IV was attacked by a pirate group from the Karthakk system. An escape pod is a capsule or craft used to escape a vessel in an emergency usually only big enough for one person The Corvette was forced to flee, leaving its jettisoned pods behind. It was later discovered that C-3PO and his counterpart were aboard one of the abandoned pods. Bail Organa placed high priority on recovering the droids. [14] Following this alarming event, C-3PO and R2-D2 began being traded around by various owners. They found themselves traveling the galaxy serving a series of different masters, such as Ambassador Zell of Majoor. [15] One owner, a glitterstim smuggler, left the droids on Ingo. The following is a list of substances including food and drugs found in the fictional series Star Wars. Ingo is a First name in contemporary Scandinavia and Germany, and a historical name in France.

A bounty hunter captures Fugitives for a monetary reward ( bounty) Boba Fett is a Fictional character and Anti-hero from the Star Wars universe. When the droids learned that their masters intended to decline a golden desirable opportunity because they refused to have droids' memories erased, they secretly left in an escape pod to allow the humans to avoid making that sacrifice [17] After that, the two helped Jann Tosh and Mon Julpa restore the Tammuz-an monarchy. [18] Later, Tosh, on his way to enroll in the Imperial Academy, left the droids on Manda. It was there that they got jobs at a hotel. From there they went to Biitu and were involved with the Great Heep. Mungo Baobab saved them from the Heep and took the droids back to Manda. [19] Later, on Roon, Baobab found some Roonstones which C-3PO told him were etched with the ancient poem Dha Werda Verda. The Roonstone events even led to C-3PO competing in the Roon Colonial Games. [20] When the droids went with Mungo to the Baobab Archives, however, they were separated from him and sold to a used technological goods trafficker.

When another owner, Governor Wena, put the droids up for auction, they ended up going to Hosk Station. A governor is a governing official usually the executive (at least nominally to different degrees also politically and administratively of a non-sovereign level of government Between there and Kalarba, the droids had a number of adventures with Nak Pitareeze and his family, Olag Greck, and Jace Forno. Kalakar VI was a volcanic spoon of Dromund Kalakar in the Outer Rim Though Nak would often disrespect him, Threepio nonetheless cared for the boy and his family. When Plag kidnapped Nak and forced him to fix his ships, Threepio and his counterpart came to the rescue and foiled Greck's plans. One time, Threepio fell out of a speeder and cracked his faceplate. The crude repair job he got afterward was two pieces of tape in the shape of an X. That X on his head led him to be mistaken for C-3PX, an extremely dangerous assassin droid who was wanted in seven systems. System (from Latin systēma, in turn from Greek systēma is a set of interacting or interdependent Entities, real or abstract Some Hosk Arena promoters who thought Threepio was 3PX tried to make him fight in a droid death match. 3PX later sacrificed himself to save 3PO.

Following the Battle of Yavin, C-3PO accompanied Luke, Leia, Han, Chewbacca and R2-D2 on numerous missions for the Alliance. On one such mission, Threepio and Luke encountered the bounty hunter Beilert Valance on Feriae Junction while they were looking for parts to repair Artoo. While exploring Junction City, Threepio and Luke met a man named Skinker who took them to his salvage yard. Unaware of Darth Vader's bounty on himself, Skywalker, and R2-D2, C-3PO and the others fell into a trap. Sensing a trap, Skywalker shoved C-3PO into Skinker's office and dove in after, and then sent the droid out the back way while he tried to hold off the bounty hunter. As Valance was about to deliver the final blow, C-3PO suddenly reappeared and placed himself in front of his master, willing to sacrifice himself to save Skywalker. The boy in turn, concerned for his droid's safety, tried to send him away. Valance, not understanding the droid's actions questioned Threepio. He answered "Certainly it's not widely accepted.

Planet overview The Rebel Alliance relocated to Hoth after their victory in the Battle of Yavin C-3PO was responsible for identifying the Empire's probot, alerting the Rebels to the Empire's awareness of their location. Things became worse when Luke Skywalker went missing on a scouting mission. After failing to pinpoint his exact location, Threepio could do little but wait until Han Solo returned with the latter. Fortunately, Skywalker was saved due to the efforts of Solo. Soon afterward in the Battle of Hoth, C-3PO escaped with Han Solo in the Millennium Falcon, while his partner joined Luke in his pursuit of the mysterious Yoda. Yoda is a Fictional character from the Star Wars universe, who appears in all of the franchise 's films except for Star Wars [32]

Shut him up or shut him down!

—Han Solo, Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back

During this time, C-3PO and Han developed a strange relationship, with C-3PO quoting odds and Han defying them. Han Solo is a character in the Star Wars universe. He was played by Harrison Ford in Star Wars Episode IV A New Hope, Normally, Han would have simply shut C-3PO down but due to the mechanical failures on the Falcon, C-3PO was plugged into the ship and communicated with it to determine the problem (which Han took credit for). He would later comment that the Falcon had a most peculiar dialect. After a chase through the Hoth asteroid field, the Falcon escaped to Cloud City on Bespin. Creation Ray Harryhausen and Richard Rickitt note that beautiful "matte paintings created Cloud City on Bespin Creation Ray Harryhausen and Richard Rickitt note that beautiful "matte paintings created Cloud City on Bespin [32] While exploring a room almost immediately after his arrival, C-3PO was blasted by a stormtrooper. Vader demanded his memory be retrieved and when he saw his parts, recognized his creation and ordered its destruction. [3] However, after being gone for far too long, Chewbacca headed to the Ugnaught recycling facility where he found the dismembered droid. The Ugnaughts are a fictional race in the Star Wars universe They are seen working on Lando Calrissian 's Cloud City. When Darth Vader revealed his presence to the group, Chewbacca was sent into a holding cell but, after an apparent change of heart from Vader (perhaps part of his resurgent paternal instinct), was permitted to rebuild the droid, which, much to the displeasure of C-3PO, was done poorly. Chewbacca carried the partially-rebuilt C-3PO on his back during Han Solo's encasement in carbonite. Carbonite ( Chemical formula: CO22-) is an explosive made from such Ingredients as Nitroglycerin, Wood meal [32]

With the help of the city's administrator, Lando Calrissian, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, and C-3PO were able to escape. Lando Calrissian is a character in the Star Wars universe. He is portrayed by Billy Dee Williams in Star Wars Episode V Although Chewbacca upon instant release attempted to choke Lando for Han Solo's capture, C-3PO apologized for the enraged Wookiee's behavior, which he feared would be the end of him. Having C-3PO on Chewbacca's back was beneficial: when Boba Fett escaped the city with Han Solo, C-3PO notified them of pursuing stormtroopers. Boba Fett is a Fictional character and Anti-hero from the Star Wars universe. Finally, after a chase through the corridors of Cloud City, the group made it to the Millennium Falcon. R2-D2, whom they found after Luke Skywalker arrived to rescue them, unlocked the door to the landing pad under C-3PO's command. After successfully escaping Vader's flagship, the Executor, C-3PO was fully repaired by R2-D2. An executor, in the broadest sense is one who carries something out (in other words one who is responsible for executing a task [32]

Rescue of Solo and the mission to Endor

If I told you half the things I'd heard about this Jabba the Hutt, you'd probably short circuit!

—C-3PO to R2-D2, Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi

Shortly after escaping Imperials on Cloud City, C-3PO joined in the search for Solo. On one occasion, he and Artoo piloted Han's ship, the Millennium Falcon, and rescued Leia from Prince Xizor. [33]

Roughly a year after escaping Cloud City, Luke commanded C-3PO and R2-D2 to deliver a message to Jabba the Hutt, the gangster who had the encased Han Solo in his palace. Jabba the Hutt is a Fictional character Unbeknownst to him, Luke had given the droids to Jabba as a ploy to gain entrance. C-3PO was placed as Jabba's replacement translator while R2-D2 served on his sail barge. C-3PO's first translation for the crime lord was of Boushh claiming the bounty for Chewbacca, whom he had on a chained leash. Leia and Princess Leia redirect here For the Blackadder character see Princess Leia of Hungary. Chewbacca (or Chewie) is a fictional character in the Star Wars universe. The meeting became intense when Boushh demanded 50,000 credits and in surprise, Jabba the Hutt smacked C-3PO who then noticed Boushh had a thermal detonator. Fortunately, C-3PO was undamaged and was able to negotiate the deal of 35,000 credits to Boushh (which came as a relief to the paranoid droid). [34] While Boushh was discovered to be Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker infiltrated the palace and killed Jabba's pet rancor in a fierce duel. The rancor is a 5 Meter (164 foot)-tall Carnivore present in the fictional Star Wars universe This angered Jabba and he transferred his court to the sail barge with Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Chewbacca as food for the Sarlacc, while Leia served as Jabba's slave. The Sarlacc (plural Sarlacci) is a fictional creature in George Lucas 's Science fiction saga Star Wars. Just as Luke Skywalker was pushed off the plank, he bounded back up and R2-D2 tossed him his lightsaber. The lightsaber is a Fictional weapon that plays a key role in the Movies, games and Novels that constitute the Star Wars In the midst of the battle, C-3PO was attacked by Salacious B. Crumb, yanking one of his sensors out its socket. Salacious was forced off by R2-D2, which gave C-3PO and R2-D2 a chance to escape the sail barge. Making their way to the platform, R2-D2 pushed C-3PO off and rolled off himself into the sands of the Dune Sea. Intelligent lifeforms Humans &mdash Settlers Hutts &mdash Slug-like crime lords Jawas &mdash Short humanoid As the sail barge was burning, the two were quickly rescued and the group headed off planet to the Rebels' gathering on Home One. Mon Calamari cruisers are fictional starships in the Star Wars universe [34] C-3PO accompanied the strike force to forest moon of Endor to disable the shield generator protecting the Death Star II. The Death Star is a Fictional Space station and Superweapon appearing in the Star Wars movies and expanded universe. When he, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca, and R2-D2 were captured by the Ewoks, they thought he was a prophesied god known as the Golden One. Ewoks are a fictional species of Teddy bear -like Hunter-gatherers that inhabit the Forest moon of Endor. Though C-3PO claimed that pretending to be a deity was "against his programming", the droid was brought to Bright Tree Village as an honored guest at a banquet. Meanwhile, his companions were brought to the Ewok village as prisoners, intended to be the main course at a banquet honoring "the Golden One. "[34]

Despite the droid's reluctance, Luke Skywalker convinced C-3PO at the banquet to demand that the release of the prisoners. C-3PO told the Ewoks he'd bring down lightning and fire and wrath if his friends were not released. Skywalker then levitated the frightened droid above the clamoring crowd, "proving" to the Ewoks that the droid really did have "magic" powers. Later that night, C-3PO acted as a storyteller, explaining the history and intentions of the Rebels to the tribe. This gained sympathy from the Ewoks and convinced them to help the Rebels at the Battle of Endor. [34] (Ironically, when Luke Skywalker first acquired him, he claimed that he was not a good storyteller. )[12]

C-3PO's part in the Battle of Endor was not yet complete, however. After infiltrating the shield bunker and being captured by Imperial forces, C-3PO began the Ewoks' assault on the Empire by calling over a group of stormtroopers with a false surrender. Chaos ensued as Ewoks jumped from hiding and attacked the Imperials, allowing for Han Solo and Leia to reach the bunker controls. When R2-D2 was forced to assist in infiltrating the bunker, C-3PO nevertheless followed, evading enemy fire. The battle ended with the Death Star II's destruction and the death of the Emperor. C-3PO was present at the celebration afterward. [34]

Post Galactic Civil War (4 ABY–24 ABY)

I'm sorry, but being blown up is not my primary function!

—C-3PO

After the Battle of Endor and the destruction of the second Death Star, C-3PO continued to travel with his permanent partner, now his friend. Fans of the Star Wars Fictional universe keep track of the "dates" of key events within the storyline according to narrated time and chronology The Death Star is a Fictional Space station and Superweapon appearing in the Star Wars movies and expanded universe. C-3PO would assist Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker, and their allies in the Alliance (and later, the New Republic) on many missions. At Bakura, he translated Ssi-ruuvi, the language of the Ssi-ruuk, to aid the Alliance. [35] C-3PO and R2-D2 were also members of Senate Planetary Intelligence Network (SPIN) for a short time, and underwent transformation by the Droid Modification Team to be disguised as Kessel droids so that they could infiltrate a gathering of Imperials to find out who was planning to take control of the Empire. [36]

In 8 ABY, C-3PO was led to believe that Han Solo was actually the King of Corellia during Solo's competition with Isolder for Leia's hand in marriage. A king is a male Monarch, or a Head of state, who may or may not depending on the style of government of a nation exercise monarchal powers over a territory usually Corellian System The Corellian System the most important in the Corellian Sector contains five inhabited worlds collectively referred to as the Five Brothers Prince Isolder is a fictional character in the Star Wars Expanded Universe. Threepio agreed to assist Solo in his efforts, as one of his functions was as a counselor droid, but was shocked when the Corellian kidnapped the princess and took her to Dathomir. Caamas Caamas is a toxic planet in the Cirius System that was formerly a highly populated habitable world until the Empire bombarded it shortly after Present with Han on this crazed adventure, Threepio continued to present Han in the best possible light and wrote a song (with at least fifteen verses) for Han Solo entitled "The Virtues of King Han Solo. " He surprised everyone when he performed the song, which he not only sang (in a voice reminiscent of that of popular vocalist Jukas Alim), but backed with the sound of a full symphony orchestra. He later discovered that Solo's newfound royalty was actually untrue. Surviving the hazards of Dathomir and the Imperial occupation fleet, he was present at Han and Leia's wedding. [37]

Shortly afterwards, C-3PO returned to Tatooine where he helped Han and Leia in their search for an Alderaanian moss painting storing a valuable code. It was here that Threepio reunited with Kitster Banai and Wald, childhood friends of Anakin Skywalker. With their help C-3PO and the others discovered Shmi's diary and in it, contained valuable information on the man that became the most feared figure in the galaxy. This article is about minor characters in the Fictional Star Wars universe, who do not fit into any other category After reading the diary, Leia remarked that the droid her grandmother described reminded her of Threepio. The code was eventually found and destroyed. [38]

Caretaker of the Solo children

I do not overrate my importance! I daresay I am the most humble droid I know.

—C-3PO to TDL-3. 5, The New Rebellion

Threepio later went to Honoghr with Leia during the Thrawn Crisis during her quest with Khabarakh to discover what had caused the plight of the Noghri. Had Abbadon Had Abbadon is a world with six moons that is inhabited by humans named after the Jewish demon Abaddon. The Thrawn trilogy, also known as the Heir to the Empire trilogy, is a series of best-selling Novels written by Timothy Zahn. Kaleesh The Kaleesh are a nomadic and politically neutral race from the planet Kalee. Threepio was forced to hide with Leia and Chewbacca when Imperial forces arrived overhead,[39] but later returned with Leia to Coruscant, where she gave birth to Jaina and Jacen Solo. Threepio would serve as caretaker for both the twins, and later Anakin Solo as well. Anakin Solo was a Fictional character from the Star Wars Expanded Universe, the youngest child born to Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo To keep herself from being overwhelmed by the tasks that confronted her, Leia would enlist C-3PO's help. The protocol droid had uploaded information regarding child-rearing into his memory banks and would meet the challenge with an initial enthusiasm but mixed results. In an attempt to hide Leia from Imperial kidnappers, Threepio was temporarily reprogrammed by Lando on Nkllon to sound exactly like Leia. M4-78 M4-78 is the name given to a planet colonized by droids However, the Empire, led by Grand Admiral Thrawn, saw through the deception. Grand Admiral is a historic naval rank generally being the highest such rank present in any particular country Grand Admiral Thrawn (full name Mitth'raw'nuruodo) is a Fictional character and major antagonist from the Star Wars galaxy. Threepio also accompanied Han, Lando, Artoo, Luke, Chewbacca, and Mara Jade to Wayland on a mission to destroy the Mount Tantiss storehouse. Mara Jade Skywalker is a Fictional character in the Star Wars Expanded Universe, who has appeared in various books and computer games The Thrawn trilogy, also known as the Heir to the Empire trilogy, is a series of best-selling Novels written by Timothy Zahn. Thanks to Threepio and some Noghri, the party was able to recruit aid from the local Psadans and Myneyrshi and destroy the storehouse. Pa'lowick The Pa'lowick are native to the swampy world of Lowick [40]

The team of C-3PO and Chewbacca would typically take care of Jacen and Jaina when their parents were away. C-3PO would recite stories such as The Little Lost Bantha Cub and take them on field trips along with Chewbacca, who would keep an eye on them. On one such instance though, while attending a diplomatic reception, the twins started playing near a tentacle-cactus. When Threepio went to retrieve them, he himself became entangled in the plant, but was eventually saved. [41]

In another particularly dangerous experience for the Solo twins, they escaped from Chewbacca's and Threepio's watch during a trip to the Holographic Zoo of Extinct Animals on Coruscant and ended up in the sub-levels of Coruscant. Distraught, Threepio frantically searched for them, but they had been found by King Onibald Daykim and were reunited with their parents. A king is a male Monarch, or a Head of state, who may or may not depending on the style of government of a nation exercise monarchal powers over a territory usually [42]

In 10. 5 ABY, Emperor Palpatine was resurrected through the use of cloning technology. An emperor (from the Latin " Imperator " is a (male Monarch, usually the sovereign ruler of an Empire or another type of Palpatine is a Fictional character in George Lucas 's Science fiction saga Star Wars. However, the clones became faulty due to the tampering of his DNA by Carnor Jax, this forced Palpatine to target Leia and her unborn child as he needed to possess the child's body. After fleeing to Nespis VII, Leia gave birth to a son she named Anakin after his grandfather. [43] While on Nespis VII, Threepio and Artoo were nearly destroyed after they spotted an Imperial installing a homing beacon on the Millennium Falcon. They were saved due to the timely arrival of Captain Solo and Chewbacca. Unfortunately, the reborn Emperor and his fleet discovered the Alliance's existence, leading C-3PO and the others to flee to Iziz, a city on the planet of Onderon. Palpatine eventually found them but was shot in the back by Han. He was finally destroyed when Empatojayos Brand sacrificed himself to save Anakin. [44]

Threepio and Artoo later accompanied Leia on a diplomatic mission to Nam Chorios but were unable to save her from being drugged and kidnapped. M4-78 M4-78 is the name given to a planet colonized by droids They also could not stop the Death Seed plague from being unleashed on the crew by Seti Ashgad and Dzym. Taking flight with one of the few surviving crewbeings, the two fled in a small ship, but the crewman died and they were stolen. Eventually rescued by Han and Lando, the two droids finally managed to convey their message for help, though the sector was rife with chaos due to the plague. [45]

In 14 ABY, C-3PO accompanied Master Skywalker and Han Solo on their mission to Crseih Station to investigate rumors of a healing cult, and the possible existence of Jedi trainees. Instead of finding Jedi trainees, they found Waru, a creature from another dimension. Though astonished at first, Threepio and the others soon learned of Waru's alliance with Lord Hethrir and the kidnapping of the Solo children. The Crystal Star is a 1994 bestselling fictional Star Wars novel written by Vonda McIntyre and published by Bantam Fortunately, Hethrir was destroyed following a confrontation with Leia, Han, and Luke while Waru returned to his dimension. [46]

Later missions

In addition to becoming the caretaker of the Solo children, C-3PO would also undertake several missions with his family and friends. In 16 ABY, Threepio accompanied Lando Calrissian, R2-D2, and Lando's associate Lobot on a mission to investigate the mysteries of the runaway alien ship known as the Teljkon Vagabond. This is a list of minor characters in the fictional Star Wars universe who are part of the Rebel Alliance. After a long exploration of the ship's innards, and some minor damage to Threepio's circuitry, the team discovered that the ship actually contained the last vestiges of the Quella civilization. The Red-billed Quelea ( Quelea quelea) is the world's most abundant Bird species (excluding domesticated species with an estimated adult breeding population [47]

In 17 ABY, during the Kueller crisis, Threepio along with Artoo and a young mechanic named Cole Fardreamer, was instrumental in stopping Kueller from regaining power by disabling the explosive devices he had placed in a large number of droids. Fans of the Star Wars Fictional universe keep track of the "dates" of key events within the storyline according to narrated time and chronology The New Rebellion is a 1996 bestselling fictional Star Wars novel written by Kristine Kathryn Rusch and published by [48]

A year later, Threepio accompanied the Solos on a vacation to Corellia. During the outbreak of the First Corellian Insurrection, Threepio and Chewbacca managed to get Jaina, Jacen, and Anakin away from the burning Corona House. [49] Threepio also accompanied Luke, Gaeriel Captison, Belindi Kalenda, and Lando to Centerpoint Station, and alerted them to the fact that the temperature inside Hollowtown was increasing to dangerously high levels.

Yuuzhan Vong War and the Dark Nest Crisis (25 ABY–36 ABY)

There are few occasions when I envy humans, but this is certainly one of them.

—C-3PO at the aftermath of the Second Battle of Coruscant, The Unifying Force

With the onset of the Yuuzhan Vong War and the stirring up of much anti-droid frenzy, C-3PO entered a phase of contemplation regarding his own mortality, and his place in a biological society. The Yuuzhan Vong invasion ( also: Yuuzhan Vong War) is a conflict in the Fictional Star Wars Expanded Universe. Evidence indicates that he may have emerged from the Vong war more assertive and less tolerant of abuse from his biological companions—from Captain Solo in particular. Despite his inner conflict, Threepio continued to participate in the war effort. He was the one who was able to translate the Yuuzhan Vong language which benefited the New Republic greatly. When Viqi Shesh, accompanied by a group of Yuuzhan Vong infiltrators attempted to break into the Solo apartment, Threepio was waiting for them and lead them to a trap; they were immediately surrounded by Noghri bodyguards and dealt with, though Shesh escaped. C-3PO would also have a huge role in the war, saving Luke's infant son, Ben Skywalker, from Viqi Shesh after he was captured. Ben Skywalker is a fictional character in the Star Wars Galaxy. In 30 ABY, Threepio participated in the Liberation of Coruscant, where he and Artoo helped Han, Leia, and the Priest Harrar, pilot the Millennium Falcon into an opening at the Well of the World Brain. Harar (var Harrar, Hārer, Harer; Adari) is an eastern city in Ethiopia, and the capital of the modern Harari World Brain is the title of a book of essays by English author H

Confederation-Galactic Alliance War

In the years following the Yuuzhan Vong War, C-3PO still served the Solos and was often at odds with Han Solo. During a tour around the Solos' new home, C-3PO was outsmarted by a teenage Ben Skywalker and felt embarrassed.

During the Confederation-Galactic Alliance War C-3PO was left alone in the Solos' as Leia and Han were not allowed on Coruscant as they had betrayed the Galactic Alliance. Etymology and naming The word itself originates in the late 15th century from the Latin coruscant- 'vibrating glittering' from the verb coruscare. Similarly, they were seen as enemies of the state on Corellia, and had a bounty placed on their heads by Thrackan Sal-Solo. Corellian System The Corellian System the most important in the Corellian Sector contains five inhabited worlds collectively referred to as the Five Brothers Thrackan Sal-Solo is a Fictional character in the Star Wars Expanded Universe. Eventually Threepio was allowed to join the Solos on the Falcon. The three were summoned to the Kiris Asteroid Cluster, where they met with Wedge Antilles and Dur Gejjen. Wedge Antilles is a fictional character in the Star Wars universe. During their meeting, Threepio attempted to record their meeting but was asked to leave by Leia. He later learned of the Corellians' plan to draw out the Queen Mother using the Solos though Threepio was highly against Han's role in the plan which was to be a decoy. He felt Captain Solo would embarrass not only himself but Leia as well if they executed the plan. Shortly thereafter, Threepio accompanied the Solos on their diplomatic mission to Hapes where they expected to meet with her to discuss her role in the war. Unfortunately, the Solos and Threepio were forced to make a hasty retreat once they were caught up in an attack on Tenel Ka's life.

Shortly afterwards, the Solos encountered the assassin, Nashtah (actually Aurra Sing), who tried to assassinate Tenel Ka in the Hapan Palace. Aurra Sing is a Fictional character from the Star Wars universe. Because the Solos were seen leaving with Nashtah, they were suspected of being involved in the plot to kill Tenel Ka and her daughter, Allana. Unbeknownst to Threepio, the real reason for their temporary allegiance with the assassin was to draw out the coup's leader. Chased after by Hapan security guards, the four went deep in Hapan space where the Solos met Lalu Morwan, who was the one who hired Sing for the job. On the Falcon Morwan explained to the group the reason for her wanting to kill Tenel Ka and her affiliation with the Heritage Council. The National Heritage Council ( Comhairle Náisiúnta na hOidhreachta) is an organisation created by the Irish government to "propose policies and priorities Despite Lalu's dislike of the droid, the two worked together briefly to heal Captain Solo's badly damaged arm. As part of the plan to pass on valuable information to the Queen Mother, Threepio was tasked with watching Morwan to make sure she didn't discover the Solos' true intentions. However, things turned ugly when Han was forced to disable Lalu by punching her in the nose. The trio and Falcon then unexpectedly entered the Battle of Hapes where they were shot upon by the Anakin Solo, commanded by Jacen, though they were able to escape. While the Millennium Falcon was being repaired at a Tendrando Arms space station at Gyndine, Threepio was left to watch and catalog all the mechanics did to the Falcon. Ealor Ealor is a planet in the Bysis system It is home to the graivehs, and covered with Grasslands and Temperate forests Elom He later rejoined Han and Leia after the Falcon's repair was complete.

Behind the scenes

C-3PO was voiced by Anthony Daniels in all six Star Wars films. Prince, from the Latin root Princeps, is a general term for a Monarch, for a member of a monarch's or former monarch's family and is a Jagoda is a Given name which may refer to Jagoda Kaloper Jagoda Stach See also This article is about minor characters in the Fictional Star Wars universe, who do not fit into any other category This article is about minor characters in the Fictional Star Wars universe, who do not fit into any other category Luke Skywalker is the main protagonist of the Star Wars universe portrayed by Mark Hamill in the films Star Wars Episode IV Jabba the Hutt is a Fictional character Leia and Princess Leia redirect here For the Blackadder character see Princess Leia of Hungary. Anthony Kingsley Daniels (born February 21, 1946) is an English Actor, known for his role as the droid C-3PO in the In Episode I, someone else puppeteered the skeletal C-3PO model, and the puppeteer was then digitally removed in post-production. For Episode II Daniels requested to take over the puppeteering duties, but those scenes were edited out and replaced with Daniels voicing the C-3PO model during post-production. Daniels gave the voice, wore the costume during principal photography, and provided the voice from Episodes III to VI.

Daniels also performed the voice C-3PO in the live-action segments of The Star Wars Holiday Special, while only voicing the character in the animated portion. The Star Wars Holiday Special was a two-hour Television special (including commercials set in the ''Star Wars'' galaxy. He was also the voice of the character in the two Star Wars animated series Star Wars: Clone Wars and Star Wars: Droids, as well as in the radio drama adaptations of the three films of the original trilogy. Star Wars Droids, also known as Droids The Adventures of R2-D2 and C-3PO, was an Animated television series that featured the exploits of R2-D2

Daniels reprised C-3PO for the Disneyland thrill ride Star Tours, which was co-created by George Lucas in 1987. Star Tours is a Simulator ride located in several Disney theme parks including Disneyland in California, Disney's Hollywood Studios He was videotaped while recording the dialogue, and this tape served as reference for the Imagineers to program the Audio-Animatronic C-3PO in the queue area. Daniels also donned the costume for certain video segments played before and after the simulator ride itself, and also portrayed an electronically disguised Ewokese announcer heard in the queue area. Daniels also appeared in the C-3PO costume for various promotional materials for Star Tours, including the electronic presskit, a Disney special on Star Tours hosted by Gil Gerard, and various opening day skits. When Star Tours opened a bilingual version at Disneyland Paris, Daniels re-recorded C-3PO's dialogue in French. . . (although none of his French movie voice actors included Daniels) but he does not voice the Tokyo C-3PO.

Daniels made several appearances as 3PO on numerous TV shows and commercials, most notably on a Star Wars-themed episode of The Donny and Marie Show in 1977, on a Star Wars-themed episode of The Muppet Show in 1980, and on three episodes of Sesame Street. Also 1977 (album by Ash.

Daniels revealed that initially he did not agree to be cast as a robot he imagined to be just a mindless box on legs, as was the stereotypical robots in many of the science fiction stories of the time. He changed his mind after reading 3PO's part in the script and seeing a concept painting by Ralph McQuarrie, understanding this robot had a personality. Ralph McQuarrie (b June 13 1929, Gary Indiana) is a conceptual designer and futurist responsible for the look of Star Wars

Many fans believe that older accounts of Threepio's creation on Affa in 112 BBY have been overruled by his portrayal in The Phantom Menace. Star Wars Episode I Phantom Menace is a 1999 military sci-fi film written and directed by George Lucas. In fact, the older version of Threepio's origin also originated with George Lucas, and both versions were harmonized from the outset: in 1977, Lucas provided a guide for early Expanded Universe creators, in which Threepio's origin on Affa was established, and also the fact that he was "totally reassembled by a young boy working for a junk dealer" before joining the Alderaanian diplomatic corps "several years" later, around 20 BBY. George Walton Lucas Jr (born May 14, 1944) is an Academy Award -winning American Film director, producer, Screenwriter For the Robert A Heinlein short story collection see Expanded Universe (Heinlein. While some of the early material in this guide has been superseded, there is no reason for discarding this particular plot-point.

C-3PO's name is often misspelled (even in official sources) as "C-3P0" (with a zero instead of the letter "O").

In the Italian version of the original trilogy, C-3PO's name is changed to D-3BO. The original name was restored in the new trilogy. In the French version of the original trilogy, the name is Z-6PO, but the original name was restored in the new trilogy as well, like most characters (except for Darth Vader and a few others in France). Anakin Skywalker Darth Vader is a fictional character in George Lucas ' Science fiction saga Star Wars.

C-3PO is the first character to speak in A New Hope ("Did you hear that? They've shut down the main reactor. We'll be destroyed for sure!") and the last character to speak in Revenge of the Sith ("What? Oh, no. "), giving C-3PO the honor of having the first and last words in the Star Wars movie saga (taking the films in the order they were made).

He was spoofed as Dot Matrix, voiced by entertainment host Joan Rivers in Spaceballs. Joan Rivers (born Joan Alexandra Molinsky; June 8, 1933) is an American Comedian, Actress, Talk show Spaceballs is a 1987 Science fiction Parody film of Star Wars co-written directed by and starring Mel Brooks. Although Dot Matrix is female, her gait, design and color resemble C-3PO's.
