The Entire C-3PO And R2-D2 Story Finally Explained

The nine main films in the Star Wars franchise may be known as the Skywalker Saga, but there aren’t actually any Skywalkers who are alive throughout all of them. There are two characters who do appear in all nine films, though — the beloved droids C-3PO and R2-D2.

The two robots were the first two characters we followed in the original Star Wars film, and they have contributed to the story in every installment of the Skywalker Saga. From C-3PO’s creation in The Phantom Menace to R2’s various travels with Luke Skywalker, let’s take a look at the explanation of the entire C-3PO and R2-D2 story.

Who do you side with, R2-D2 or C-3PO?

[MovieGuy]

It's awesome that C3P0 has been played by the same actor since the start.

[doncalypso]

Technically R2-D2 has been the one to witness the entire Skywalker Saga from start to

[jinnnloy]

They're the only ones who have seen the whole story

[juliolizarraga]

I hate that the sequel trilogy tried to replace R2D2 with BB8

[IggyStardust]

R2-D2 is the most obnoxious character ever. Every single line he said was bleeped out. XD

[SavageRicktator]

The Star Wars saga is now an unconventional story of how the Palpatines conquered the galaxy. Where peace is restored and his granddaughter Rey took everything the Skywalkers were destined to do

[trev]

Like how y’all put “finally explained” as if it’s ancient knowledge that know one can figure out

[chiefredeye]

my two favorite characters of the entire story, thank you for this video!!

10:42 and they lived happily ever after!

"Isn't it weird that Anakin never Returned to 3CPO when he built the robot, like it just so odd to me that he stopped caring about it so quickly, and it would of been so badass if he came back to him as Darth Vader and made him into his most elite droid, like General Grevious or something similar"

[Dr_Doctor_Lee]

one shutters to imagine what lays behind those eye of r2.
he must have one of the most complex personalitys a droid had ever reached

[pandawolf]

Also I like how c-3po represents anakin innocence and when he gets his memory wiped it’s like saying anakin is no more and it’s Vader both come out different and with memory lost and both forget who they are

[ynthesizerpatel]

One thing that never made any sense to me in TPM was why R2 belonged to Padme, and 3PO belonged to Anakin - surely it would have made far more sense and been a much more obvious direction for the story to take had it been the other way round.

There would have been absolutely no use for a protocol droid in Watto's workshop - and despite Anakin's suggestion that it would have been useful for his mom, what use does a slave have for a protocol droid? (none in case you're wondering :-) )
A toolbox on wheels (R2D2) would have come in pretty handy in that environment though.
Likewise, as queen of naboo on a mission to the senate, a protocol droid would have been pretty much standard equipment on her royal starship.

The story would have needed a minor change in the escape from naboo, but that wouldn't have caused an major plot problems.

I read an interesting story in a movie trivia book once, about how R2-D2 got his name.

A few years before Geo. Lucas made Star Wars, he made a nice little comedy, "American Graffiti". (Which has a Harrison Ford cameo, btw). All the time he was working on the film, he was also writing "Star Wars". He kept a notebook with him, and would add notes or write ideas as they came to him.

When making a movie using film, the visual and the audio are recorded simultaneously, but separately. This is why, when the Director says "Action", the assistant says "Scene 6, take 2" and "SNAPS" that clacker; The "SNAP" helps them to synchronize the audio during the editing process.

During the post-production phase for "Graffiti", Lucas was working with the sound editor, and while editing one scene, the editor turned to an assistant, and asked him to grab a dialogue reel, and prep it for the next scene.

He asked for the second dialogue track on the second reel of tape recorded for the scene in question. In editing speak he turned to the assistant and said . . .

"Spool up R2, D2."  

(audio reel #2, dialogue track #2)

That caught Lucas' ear. He liked the sound of it, opened his notebook, and R2 got his name.

Maybe it's real; maybe it's just rumor, but I like it.

[SmashupMashups]

Gotta say, I hope we see more of the duo in future projects.

[astoraan]

It would've been so cool if we saw some C3PO, R2D2 and Darth Vader interactions .

[dannyfriar]

The Rise of Skywalker should have ended with R2-D2 beeping and subtitles comes on and say "A long time ago...." and then credits roll.

[Jason-gtkx]

Yep, R2-D2 and C-P30 are the base of all the stories. It's their POV. When Star War episode 4 was released, it was the first time ANY movie had androids are the stars. They were the main characters for the first five minutes of the movie. So daring to start a movie that way.

I’m glad the professor was here to give us a history lesson.
