Threepio stays in one piece through the whole film

This is a first for a Star Wars movie. In every other Episode Threepio gets broken in one way or another. I thought that was supposed to be a running gag through each move, just like the line "I have a bad feeling about this".

Well, he has his memory wiped. Does that count?

3PO is the man. The whole mindwipe thing sucks to me. But it does make sence though. No complaints in the end for me.

Yes, deleting his memory had to be done. I fully expected it.

Stayed with Padme' instead of Jar Jar, so Lucas didnt get a chance to beat him up for that reason.
