Wait, why the Hell would the Queen's ship not have droids that can fix the shields?

The pilot's comments, the queen's comments & commendation, etc, that prove to us that R2 went above & beyond. He's a mechanic, maybe they're only programmed to fix one thing, and R2 went beyond that do something special, as proven by the comments. That's the reason ONLY R2 fixed the shields. Maybe R2 disconnected one thing and attached it to another to fix them.
The pilot & the queen's comments prove that R2's actions were surprising.
We don't know that the other droids were no good. No one knows what they're doing up there. And how that the other 3 got blasted and the ship didn't is pretty good shootin by the Tray-fed guys.
Well, that commendation is just bullocks... I bet they were just bored and found a ceremonial thing to do. Fact is: it's NOTHING beyond his normal duty if we see what he does in the OT. THAT is beyond the normal duty.
The real question here isent why Ben dosent remeber threepio, but why dosnt Owen Lars remember him, he lived with him for almost 10 years, when Shmi was bought by Creeg Lars and i doubt thera are many droids named threepio who are anoying and with gayish personality.

I don't think Shmi & Threepio were with lars for 10 years. Maybe a couple. Anyway, Owen only had one conversation with him. Maybe Threepio's voice pattern is sold to millions of droids in the galaxy, a "droid expansion pack" chip sold in 5 and Dime stores everywhere.
Bored? After fighting off the trade fed battleship, losing hyperdive power, they decide to take time to commend a droid? In the middle of a crisis? Your only conclusion can be it was an outstanding act by R2. But saving the day is Business as Usual for R2.
R2 saves the day at LEAST once in every movie, not to mention the EU. It kinda suck how this was like his only reward. He's the true hero of the series.

It's because the PT was made before A New Hope.. I don't think Lucas had a secret explanation made up when he made it. Somewhere along the way he just decided to f*ck up SW by letting everyone return.
Why doesn't Owen want to remember anything, did C-3PO abuse him or something.
It was a cold night, Owen Lars was sleeping in his bed when suddenly he herd the door open and immediately his body was filed with fear. It was C-3PO who entered the room. Owen knew what was going to happened, the same thing that was going one for years, every night.
C-3PO set on the bed where Owen was sleeping and started rubbing Owens back. Owen was petrified, butt manage enough courage to say to
C-3PO to back of or he is going to tell hiss father. C-3PO just replied O i don't believe so master Owen, you wouldn't want your fighter know you were a bad boy. Owen said don't to this, but C-3PO replied It is only natural. C-3PO laid behind Owens back in the same position and started doing his thing. Tears began to come aut of Owens eyes and he only wished that it would and quickly. C-3PO carved another mark in his soul.
Years later Anakin was leaving to save his master on Geonosis. Owen was delighted that he would take C-3PO with him, no longer was he going to suffer, no longer will he be ashamed that he was doing something bad. When Amidalas ship began its launch Owen felt great joy that he will newer see C-3PO again, all he wanted to do was forget that C-3PO ever existed and in couple next days he completely suppressed any memory of C-3PO existence.
When the shield generator was hit the droids went up to fix it, thats it. 2 of the droids were blown away and the captain was surprised because R2 was the last one and he still managed to fix the shields. plain and simple
3PO didn't get his gold plating until sometime in the Clone Wars. When he was on Tatooine, he had the shitty iron plating that Shmi slapped on him. Then sometime during the Clone Wars he was upgraded (if you go by the Clone Wars cartoon Padame had him upgraded while Anakin was away at war).
So Owen would be seeing an entirely new droid.
