R2 and C3PO

I dont know about you guys, but I really was disappointed at the lack of C3PO and R2 interacting in Episode I. They are my favorite SW characters. They have the best chemistry in movie history. Anyways, I was wondering if we'll see more of them as 'friends' in EPII? I sure do hope so! smile

I agree. 3PO's lines weren't great either. He tended to repeat himself quite a lot. (Two lines in a row saying that Jar Jar was odd!)

I still think GL shouldn't have brought them back in the PT. They hardly serve any purpose.

My personal opinion is that we shouldn't write off their PT involvement just yet. Something tells me that the importance of these two droids has been greatly underestimated....

There are still 2 PT films to go remember,

That's possible. But their part in Ep1 was totally useless.

And some of the lines 3PO has (or may have) are duplictaes of the OT as well. I did see that line "Sometimes I just don't understand human behaviour" pass by again. That made me worry. And there's a rumour of 3PO firing a blaster in Ep2. Is this exciting or worrisome? I dunno.

the reason he repeats his lines are beause he has probably been programmed with certain repsonses. i.e. "I am c3po human cyborg relations" or whatever it he says.

Okay, I dig that particular line. But let's face it, 3PO's lines are not really all that great in TPM.

Well, I'm with R.C. on this one. I think 3po and r2 are going to turn out to be critical, not only to the PT but the OT in ways we don't really know yet as well... as I've said on a number of (very long) occassions. big grin

Almost every character in SW has lines that they say over and over. Han Solo says "It's your imagination kid" in ANH and ROTJ.

Queeg how can you say that R2 and 3PO's involvement in TPM was useless? R2 saved the Queens ship and we found out that 3po was built by Darth Vader.

I don't like to be reminded of the latter, thank you? And why was that so important, anyway?

And if R2 hadn't saved the ship, some other droid would have. It was not as if he managed to dodge the laser beam best. I didn't see him dodge anything.

He bypassed the main power generator; saving the day, and so we could see a WHOLE movie

And what makes you think one of the other droids couldn't do that?

Could you picture C3PO on top of the Naboo Cruiser trying to bypass the main power converter? Ohh, that would of gotten the biggest laugh. Well let's just be thankful that he wasn't up there, you know what they say, women and machinery just dont mix laughing out loud .........(I'm in trouble now!...Oh well, it was worth it) evil face

Well Queeg there is nothing in the O.T that another droid couldn't have done. So what's the difference?

In TPM, R2 was probably more of a hero than he has ever been.

Miffed King Jedi.........

.......I disagree. Wasn't it R2 that delivered the vital message to Obi in ANH. If it wasn't for him, we would have no Luke Skywalker, no destruction of the Death Star, no rebel victory. R2 is a hero in my book smile

Possibly the fact that they were slag metal, floating away from the ship....... laughing out loud

Aside from the fact that everytime 3PO said "Thank the Maker" he was thanking Vader. I don't know if it will be turned into anything crucial but it is a nice joke non the less.

I wonder if Chewie found a "Made in Tatooine" stick inside when he was fixing him? laughing out loud

3PO the campest robot in the Galaxy was built by the baddest Sith. How do you think 3PO would react if he found out in the OT?

GL has already said that TPM was just a film to break the ice, introduce the "new" fans to Star Wars and to give a background to some key characters.

With that in mind, I am quite glad R2 and 3 PO were in TPM. Didn't anyone else wonder how R2 D2 got so spunky compared to other R2 units?

The reason behind him bypassing the main power converter was to show that this droid is special, he doesn't think like other droids.

C3 PO. I don't know, he is very argumentative and pompous. Other protocol droids don't seem to have this feature. Maybe we will see a bit more of why he is the way he is in AOTC.

3 PO firing a blaster? That is really worrying. He is supposed to be a coward.
