Why didn't Ben recognize threepio?

If Ben knew him in ep 2 then shouldn't he have noticed it was him when he see's him in ep 4?? or was this totally forgotten and they decided to have him working on the same farm with Owen for God know's how long in ep 2?

I'm just confused by it

as seen in ep1, artoo's intro: there are many droids that look just like r2.

Obi Wan probably didn't meet 3P0 until ROTS, and he didn't own 3P0 as Obi said.

Kenobi hated droids. And spent very little time with 3PO.

could also be that he didnt want to jog 3p0's memory having gone through the trouble of erasing it

Then again, OB1 knew the droids fairly well. 3PO belonged to Padme and he had dealings with her, and R2 was Anakin's personal astrodroid... And he spent twenty years in the desert, how many droids would he have seen in the meantime?

Then again, he didn't have sex with them.

Owen didn't seem to remember 3PO either, and they worked on the same farm for...I dunno a few years maybe.

Even Vader didnt recognize him
either there must be loads of camp protocol droids in the SW universe or 3po is one of those people you know but would rather cross busy traffic than talk to

Not really. From what we see. Kenobi and 3P0 rarely interact in the films. The only extended time I remeber them being together is on Polis Massa and on the Millenium Falcon. Given how much Kenobi hates droids, I'd imagine that he was more concerned about Padme at the time than 3PO.

There were other protocol droids in the Jawa's van, and in Jabbas' Palace. Seeing as local farmers wanted one, I'd assume that protocol dorids were fairly common in Mos Eisley, on Tatooine, and on most planets in general, especially Outer Rim worlds.

3P0's legplate changed, but it really didn't matter if he regonized him or not. If he mentioned something, he's probly confuse 3P0, who would ask R2, and then 3P0 would rediscover his past. It didn't warrant discussion. He probly just thought "will of the force" to himself and left it.

Then again, Lucas probably hadn't decided at the time to have 3P0 be constructed by Anakin.

if he hates droids why does he give goldenrod an affectionate hand on the shoulder prior to leaving Mustafar....hmm

maybe Owen recognized 3p0 late in the day
maybe not

as stated years back Lucas needed someone to have a word with him whilst writing the PT script
but seeing as Lucas answers to nobody we get flaws like this

Perhaps he did that because he was tired and couldn't get up the ramp because he was an old man and just ahd a huge duel with Vader/Anakin stick out tongue

3PO and R2 should never have been in the PT, if you ask me.

I think they should. Lucas based their characters on a film dealing with the rise of the Japanese Empire. They were two peasants caught up in the mass political trauma of the time and the movie documented their roles in a saga much greater than themselves.

In this context, it makes perfect sense that R2 and 3PO are the only characters that really are present throughout the saga.
