They affectionately call him Threepio, a protocol droid originally built by Young Anakin to help his poor mother around their slave quarters. But C-3PO's knowledge of over six million forms of communication comes in handy in the fight against the Empire and he is pulled away from his duties on Tatoonie by Padme and her droid R2-D2.
