C-3PO () or See-Threepio [i] is a humanoid robot character in the Star Wars franchise who appears in the original trilogy, the prequel trilogy and the sequel trilogy. Built by Anakin Skywalker, C-3PO was designed as a protocol droid intended to assist in etiquette, community, and translation,[ii] boasting that he is "fluent in over six million forms of communication".[3] Along with his astromech droid counterpart and friend R2-D2, C-3PO provides comic relief within the narrative structure of the films, and serves as a foil. Anthony Daniels has portrayed the character in eleven of the twelve theatrical Star Wars films released to date, with the exception of Solo: A Star Wars Story, where the grapheme does non appear.[4] [a]

Despite his oblivious nature, C-3PO has played a pivotal role in the galaxy's history, appearing under the service of Shmi Skywalker, the Lars homestead, Padmé Amidala, Bond Organa, Raymus Antilles, Luke Skywalker, Jabba the Hutt, and Leia Organa. In the bulk of depictions, C-3PO's physical appearance is primarily a polished gold plating with a argent plated right leg (from knee articulation to ankle), although his advent varies throughout the films; including the absenteeism of metallic coverings in The Phantom Menace, a dull copper plating in Attack of the Clones, and a red left arm in The Force Awakens.[five] C-3PO too appears frequently in both canon and Star Wars Legends continuities of novels, comic books, and video games, and was a protagonist in the animated television set series Droids.

Appearances [edit]

Skywalker saga [edit]

Original trilogy [edit]

Star Wars (1977) [edit]

In Star Wars,[b] C-3PO is introduced to the audience when he and R2-D2 are aboard the consular ship Tantive IV when information technology is attacked past the Royal Star Destroyer Devastator. When R2-D2 (Kenny Bakery) attempts to leave the ship to deliver a cloak-and-dagger message from Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) to Obi-Wan Kenobi (Alec Guinness), C-3PO follows him into an escape pod, which lands on the planet Tatooine. At that place, the droids are captured by Jawas, and are taken to be sold. In the process of being sold to Owen Lars (Phil Chocolate-brown), C-3PO convinces his new owner to buy R2-D2 as well (afterward they originally bought R5-D4 and his motivator exploded on the style dorsum to the garage). The duo ultimately atomic number 82 Lars' nephew, Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), to Obi-Wan, for whom R2-D2 plays Leia's message. After Majestic stormtroopers destroy the Lars homestead, C-3PO and R2-D2 get along with Luke and Obi-Wan on a mission to rescue Leia, transported past smugglers Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) on board the Millennium Falcon. When the ship is taken hostage on the Decease Star, C-3PO helps R2-D2 close down the infinite station's trash compactor, saving their human companions' lives, earlier escaping on board the Falcon. When R2-D2 is damaged during the Battle of Yavin, a grief-stricken C-3PO offers to donate his own parts to help repair his counterpart. C-3PO and a repaired R2-D2 are present at the celebration of the Death Star's destruction at the end of the pic.

Throughout the film C-3PO is a foil to R2-D2'due south antics,[6] even when C-3PO translates R2-D2's car speech for the audience. C-3PO is originally the holding of the helm on the Tantive IV, merely seems to follow R2-D2 in a relationship alike to those between human children;[c] C-3PO oftentimes following R2-D2 effectually, and R2-D2 needing C-3PO to translate for him.[d] When R2-D2 is damaged in the Battle of Yavin, C-3PO offers to donate any mechanical parts helpful in his repair; but this transference is never confirmed.[e]

The Empire Strikes Back (1980) [edit]

C-3PO escapes with Han, Chewbacca, and Leia in the Millennium Falcon, while R2-D2 joins Luke in his search for Yoda (Frank Oz). During this time C-3PO and Han are often shown as foils, with C-3PO quoting odds and Han defying them. After a chase through an asteroid field, the Falcon escapes to Cloud City at Bespin.

While exploring a room in Cloud Metropolis, C-3PO is blasted past an off-camera stormtrooper.[3] In search of C-3PO, Chewbacca heads to the Ugnaught recycling facility where he finds the dismembered parts of the droid. When Darth Vader (portrayed past David Prowse, voiced by James Earl Jones) reveals his presence to the group that same twenty-four hours, Chewbacca is sent into a property jail cell, but is permitted to rebuild the droid, which he does poorly.[3] Thereafter, Chewbacca carries the partially rebuilt C-3PO on his dorsum during Han'southward encasement in carbonite.

With the help of the city'southward ambassador, Lando Calrissian (Baton Dee Williams), Princess Leia, Chewbacca, and C-3PO escape the city. Having C-3PO on Chewbacca's back proves to be beneficial, in that when Boba Fett (Jeremy Bulloch) escapes the urban center with a frozen Han, C-3PO notifies them of pursuing stormtroopers. While escaping Vader's flagship Executor, R2-D2 begins repairing C-3PO. Upon making their way to the Rebel'southward rendezvous point, C-3PO is fully repaired.

Return of the Jedi (1983) [edit]

In Return of the Jedi, Luke commands C-3PO and R2-D2 to evangelize a message to Jabba the Hutt from Luke, who offers 3PO's services as a translator and R2-D2'south on Jabba'southward flying sail barge. C-3PO's first translation for the crime lord is of the compensation hunter Boushh—Leia in disguise—claiming the bounty for Chewbacca as part of her plan to rescue Han.[vii] Subsequently, Luke infiltrates the palace and kills Jabba'southward rancor in a duel; whereupon Jabba transfers his court to the canvass barge with Luke, Han, and Chewbacca as nutrient for the Sarlacc, while Leia serves as Jabba'south slave. When Luke attempts escape, R2-D2 tosses him his lightsaber, with which he attacks Jabba's guards. In the midst of the boxing, C-3PO is attacked by Jabba's pet Salacious Crumb, who pulls out his right photoreceptor before being driven off by R2-D2. Thereafter the two escape the sail barge and are retrieved by the protagonists.

C-3PO accompanies the strike strength to the Wood Moon of Endor to disable the shield generator protecting the second Death Star. When he, Han, Luke, Chewbacca, and R2-D2 are captured by the Ewoks, C-3PO is perceived to exist a god by the latter. When the homo prisoners are threatened by the Ewoks, Luke uses the Force to levitate the droid in a higher place the crowd equally sit-in of the supposed god'south ability.[7] Later that night, C-3PO narrates the history of the Rebel Alliance's fight against the Galactic Empire to the tribe, convincing them to help the Rebels at the Battle of Endor. After the Empire's second Death Star is destroyed, C-3PO joins the protagonists on Endor in jubilant the autumn of the Empire.

Behind the scenes [edit]

Anthony Daniels did not initially hold to be cast as C-3PO, but changed his mind later on reading the grapheme'southward role in the script and seeing a concept painting by Ralph McQuarrie,[51] who based his early design largely on Walter Schulze-Mittendorff's Maschinenmensch from the Fritz Lang pic Metropolis (1927).[52] The initial costume had to be roughened then it would not reflect too much light.[53] Daniels tried on the full costume for the first time the twenty-four hour period before shooting began,[54] and did not see its last appearance until beingness shown a Polaroid photo of it while he wore the suit.[53] George Lucas originally envisioned the character as "more of a con man" with an American emphasis, but changed his listen later Daniels' vocalism functioning outshone that of 30 other actors that tested for the role.[55] [j] Mel Blanc was considered for the role, but co-ordinate to Daniels, Blanc told Lucas that Daniels was improve for the office.[56] [57]

C-3PO has been played past Daniels in eleven Star Wars films[10] [58]—x alive activity (every episode of the "Skywalker Saga" and i Anthology motion-picture show) and one animated. In The Phantom Menace, a skeletal C-3PO model was puppeteered by Michael Lynch (who was also a chief model maker for all 3 prequel films), with Daniels providing the voice, and Lynch was removed in post-product. Daniels attempted to puppeteer the skeletal droid for Episode II, but experienced difficulties; the puppet was replaced in favor of a fully plated C-3PO.[53] A filmed scene featured Padmé outfitting C-3PO with his plating, but it was cut to improve the pacing.[53] From Set on of the Clones to The Ascent of Skywalker, as well as Rogue One, Daniels both wore the costume and provided the vocalism.[53]

Daniels also played C-3PO in the live-action segments of Star Wars Holiday Special (1978),[59] and voiced the grapheme in the animated portion.[k] Daniels appeared as C-3PO at the 50th University Awards in 1978 and 88th Academy Awards in 2016. He also voiced C-3PO in the radio drama adaptations of the original trilogy and five Star Wars animated series: Droids (1985–86), Clone Wars (2003–05), The Clone Wars (2008–fourteen),[x] Rebels (2014–eighteen)[60] and Resistance (2018–twenty). He reprised his function in The Lego Film,[60] in which C-3PO has a cameo appearance with crew members of the Millennium Falcon,[61] and in the Star Wars Forces of Destiny episode "Beasts of Echo Base", in which his vox can be heard on Leia'south comlink.[62] [l] Daniels likewise voiced C-3PO in Ralph Breaks the Cyberspace (2018),[63] [m] various animated Lego Star Wars productions[65] and video games. Star Wars Milky way of Adventures features some of C-3PO'southward dialogue from the Skywalker Saga. C-3PO was featured with R2-D2, BB-8 and Chewbacca in Star Wars Blips.[66]

Daniels reprised his role of C-3PO for the Disneyland ride Star Tours,[60] co-created by George Lucas in 1987. He was videotaped while recording the dialogue, with the record serving as a reference for the Imagineers to program an audio-animatronic C-3PO in the queue expanse. Both it and the sound-animatronic R2-D2 are the original props used in filming. Daniels also donned the costume for certain video segments played earlier and afterwards the simulator ride itself, also portraying an electronically disguised Ewok announcer. Daniels also appeared in the C-3PO costume for diverse promotional materials for Star Tours, including the electronic printing kit, 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. C-3PO ends up in the pilot's seat of the Starspeeder 1000 in the attraction's successor, Star Tours – The Adventures Go on,[67] in which he is also played past Daniels.[53]

Daniels made several appearances equally C-3PO on numerous Television receiver shows and commercials[n], notably on a Star Wars-themed episode of The Donny and Marie Testify in 1977,[68] Disneyland's 35th Anniversary and a Star Wars-themed episode of The Muppet Evidence in 1980.[69] Forth with R2-D2, he also has a role every bit the character on Sesame Street episodes 1364 and 1396.[69] [68] They also hosted several documentaries including The Making of Star Wars and Star Wars: Connections.[o]

In 1977, a photo appeared on a Topps Star Wars trading card in which C-3PO appeared to take a prominent phallus. It was later withdrawn from circulation.[53] In 2007, the official Star Wars website hypothesized that this was acquired past a function of the suit that had fallen into identify just equally the photo was taken. Still, in 2019 Daniels clarified that the costume had become compromised during C-3PO'southward oil bath in A New Hope; the warm liquid had acquired the costume to separate, leading to "an over-exposure of plastic in that region".[70] He further speculated in his 2019 autobiography that an artist had painted in the extended appendage.[53]

Cultural influence [edit]

C-3PO was inducted into the Robot Hall of Fame in 2004 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. A lifesize replica tin exist seen at the Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh.

In 2012, the United States Navy built a robot called the Autonomous Shipboard Humanoid which they claim was modeled on C-3PO. The robot was built for the purpose of extinguishing fires, but has like movement abilities to the Star Wars droid by beingness able to climb ladders and comport hoses. Also like to C-3PO, it can reply to human gestures, but at a much more bones level.[71] [72]

Ane of NASA programs to collaborate with the private sector in the development of commercial space transportation information technology'due south named 'C3PO', acronym for Commercial Coiffure & Cargo Program Office.[73]

Nicolas Ghesquière, creative director of Louis Vuitton, and Rodarte have created way designs inspired by C-3PO.[74] The cover photo of the August 2015 outcome of GQ featured comedian Amy Schumer wearing a replica of Princess Leia's bikini and sucking one of C-3PO'southward fingers. Lucasfilm and Disney objected to this image and tweeted a public statement that it was unauthorized.[74]

In the Italian version of the original trilogy, C-3PO was named "D-3BO".[75] Anglicisms were not common in the Italian language during the 1970s and 1980s, and the names of various characters were changed to be easier to pronounce and recognize for Italian speakers. Some of these changes were reverted in the dubbing of the prequel and sequel trilogies, where the original name C-3PO was used instead. Other name changes in the Italian version of the original trilogy include R2-D2, Han Solo, Leia Organa and Darth Vader, who were called respectively "C1-P8", "Ian Solo", "Leila Organa" and "Dart Fener" (or "Lord Fener").
