Background
Edit
C-3PO was a nervous protocol droid built by Anakin Skywalker when he was a kid, and was a pivotal character in bringing down the Empire. His main companion was R2-D2. He was present in many missions of Anakin Skywalker after his mother's death on Tatooine, but was given to Padme as a gift. After Padme's death, however, the droid's memory was erased. He soon found himself in the care of Luke Skywalker, and was with him on many adventures. He is one of the few characters to appear in all six films, along with R2-D2, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader.
