I seem to recall seeing vader pushing boba fett's blaster rifle down before boba fett could disentegrate chewie AND 3po on his back in the carbonite room. Vader does indeed remember who 3po is. Nice Job on the part of George Lucas adding that scene.

This made me realize how truly tragic Anakin's story was. It actually made sad and emotional....

Because it was 1980 and "The Phantom Menace" hadn't come out yet.

C3P0 was one of my favorite characters

What about r2. He would do anything to save him bet if he knew where he was after order 66

We also need to remember that the empire strikes back was made before the prequels when we found out that anakin made c-3po

Maybe he did remember him, but it was off little importance at the moment. Or a lot of droids look and talk like that?

Please let the new EU give us a new answer.

I remember seeing the phantom menace in the cinema when I was 9 and even as a child thinking having Anakin be the creator of Threepio was the most ridiculous ‘twist’ in the series 😂😂 like it’s just downright stupid

Real reason... poor writings by the person who killed off bobba fett and maul in such a silly manner

*He didn't remember because Lucas hadn't really thought out his supposed 'story arc' that he was basically 'winging it' through on the first trilogy. I'm a Star Wars fan, so anyone disagreeing has obviously accepted his 'reasoning' through the years*
