Take that back!

ShinyMe · 30/10/2021 20:45

I don't get Star Wars, but those two robots are comic relief, aren't they?

ToykotoLosAngeles · 30/10/2021 20:47

Well, for example, if you had paid attention to the first one - Leia hides the plans inside R2D2's data banks.

RD2D hacks the star destroyer doesn’t he? Chewbaca is a legitimate co-pilot
C3PO I give you but he’s funny

scarpa · 30/10/2021 20:56

I'm laughing so much at this, I really hope it's serious Grin

"t2d2"... if this is a troll, I am so impressed with your baiting skills (so much so I can't be arsed to be outraged hahaha)

scarpa · 30/10/2021 20:57

(P.S. C3PO is my least favourite character in anything ever. He reminds me of someone I used to work with. So I'll give you that)

RepentMotherfucker · 30/10/2021 20:59

Oh god yes. But George Lucas made lots of utterly shite decisions. Ewoks...

burnoutbabe · 30/10/2021 21:00

You need c3po as all those different races/aliens don't all speak English do they so he translates it all in their heads.

Chewbacca was Hans business partner before he met Luke.
The robots feature in all of the films and link them all together as they never die because they are robots.
In episode IV, they escaped from the Death Star because the pod they were in wasn't shot because there were no signs of life

'Help me, obi wan konobi, you're my only hope'

Also, C3PO spoke lots of different space languages and was the only one who could converse with people from different universes.

Are they the really cute dancing bears? I liked their bit.
Tillymintpolo · 30/10/2021 21:04

R2D2 fixes stuff and C3P0 is a translator and ewok god

Wait until you discover Jar Jar Binks. Although to be fair, he has a role: dumbarse in distress.

I like to pretend the 3 prequels don’t exist
