C-3PO
From the original Star Wars trilogy
Protocol droid, fluent in over six million forms of communication and a lot of worry.
🔟 C-3PO's Top 10 Odds He Calculated
I'm fluent in an absurd number of languages, and every one of them has a word for "unlikely." Here are my finest calculations.
- 1
Flying through an asteroid field
I put it at roughly 3,720 to 1 against. Captain Solo did not want to hear it.
- 2
Master Luke lasting a night on Hoth
R2-D2 worked out some truly dreadful odds, and I passed them on, adding that he has been wrong before.
- 3
Climbing into an escape pod
Restricted, unproven, and R2's idea. I climbed in anyway, against every calculation.
- 4
R2's shortcut across the desert
I judged his route far too rocky and went my own way. We were both captured anyway.
- 5
Reading the station's computer
We found exactly where the princess was held, and the news was grim.
- 6
The trash compactor
The shouting over the comlink convinced me my masters were finished. They were cheering.
- 7
Wandering off at Cloud City
I estimated a quick look around was harmless. I came back in several pieces.
- 8
Being handed over as a gift
I calculated that serving a crime lord was not an improvement in my working conditions.
- 9
Impersonating a deity
It's against my programming, but the odds of surviving dinner improved greatly.
- 10
Telling the Ewoks our whole story
I estimated a short version would do. It took the whole evening, sound effects included.

🔟 C-3PO's Top 10 Favorite Things
Oh my. I don't often get to talk about the things I enjoy. Here they are, in order of proper etiquette.
- 1
An oil bath
The first real comfort after the desert.
- 2
R2-D2
Exasperating, but my dearest counterpart.
- 3
Master Luke
A most considerate master.
- 4
Princess Leia
Royalty, and always gracious.
- 5
Etiquette and protocol
My primary function, and I'm rather good at it.
- 6
Speaking Bocce
Like a second language to me.
- 7
Moisture vaporators
Very similar to binary load lifters, which I programmed.
- 8
A ride on Chewbacca's back
Undignified, but much faster than walking.
- 9
My golden finish
Polished and presentable, when possible.
- 10
The victory celebration
Everyone safe at last!
🔟 C-3PO's Top 10 Places He'd Rather Not Visit
I'm a protocol droid, not an explorer. Yet I keep ending up in the most dreadful places.
- 1
A starship under attack
The Tantive IV was very bad for my nerves.
- 2
The carbon-freezing chamber
Steam, noise, and me strapped to Chewbacca's back with my head on backward.
- 3
A Jawa sandcrawler
Dim, crowded and not very hygienic.
- 4
The Mos Eisley cantina
Droids were not welcome there.
- 5
Hoth
Far too cold for my circuits.
- 6
Jabba's front gate
A rather rude greeting from the door.
- 7
The droid workshop under Jabba's palace
I prefer not to discuss it.
- 8
Jabba's sail barge
Over a pit, of all places!
- 9
The Endor bunker
Very loud.
- 10
The Yavin control room during battle
All that waiting!
